Easily create data-driven web UI's for Node-RED. Single- & Multi-page. Multiple UI's. Work with existing web development workflows or mix and match with no-code/low-code features.

<script type="text/html" data-help-name="uib-save">    

    <p>
        Save a file into a uibuilder instance folder.

    <h3>Inputs</h3>
    <dl class="message-properties">
        <dt>payload <span class="property-type">string|buffer</span></dt>
        <dd>
            REQUIRED. The data to output to the file.
            Use a buffer for binary file types (video, audio, image, etc).
        </dd>

        <dt>folder <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
        <dd>
            If supplied and the folder setting is blank, will be used as the output folder.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            Folder name is <b>ALWAYS</b> relative to the node's instance root folder.
            Folder traversal outside of that is not permitted.
        </dd>

        <dt>fname <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
        <dd>
            If supplied and the file name setting is blank, will be used as the output file name.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            <code>msg.fname</code>, <code>msg.filename</code>, or <code>msg.fileName</code> can be used.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            This may contain prefixed sub-folders but cannot use <code>..</code> to prevent folder traversal.
        </dd>
    </dl>

    <h3>Node Settings</h3>
    <dl class="message-properties">
        <dt>URL <span class="property-type">selection</span></dt>
        <dd>
            Select the existing uibuilder Node instance via its URL setting.
            This cannot be overridden by a msg property at this time.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            Sets the top-most (root) folder that can be written to.
        </dd>

        <dt>Use pageName <span class="property-type">boolean</span></dt>
        <dd>
            If set, either <code>msg._uib.pageName</code> or <code>msg._ui.pageName</code> will be used
            instead of the file name. The uibuilder node's current served folder will be used for the folder.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            This allows easy overwriting of a uibuilder page's file simply by issuing an <code>htmlSend</code> command
            to the front-end and sending the resulting message to this node. See the included examples.
        </dd>
        
        <dt>Folder <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
        <dd>
            The name of an existing or new folder inside the chosen uibuilder instance root.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            Defaults to <code>src</code>.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            Folder name is <b>ALWAYS</b> relative to the node's instance root folder.
            "<code>..</code>" cannot be included in the path to prevent escaping from the instance root.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            If the folder does not exist, an error is generated unless the "Create Folder" flag is ticked.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            <code>msg.folder</code> overrides this as long as this is left blank.
        </dd>

        <dt>File <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
        <dd>
            The name of an existing or new file inside the chosen uibuilder instance root and folder.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            If the file does not exist, it will be created. Otherwise it is silently overwritten.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            Neither "<code>/</code>" or "<code>\</code>" can be included in the file name. The name must be valid for the OS you are using.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            <code>msg.fname</code> will be used if this is left blank.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            This may contain prefixed sub-folders but cannot use <code>..</code> to prevent folder traversal.
        </dd>

        <dt>Create Folder? <span class="property-type">boolean</span></dt>
        <dd>
            If set and the given folder name does not exist inside the instance root folder,
            the new folder will be automatically created.
        </dd>
        
        <dt>Reload? <span class="property-type">boolean</span></dt>
        <dd>
            If ticked, any client browser tabs connected to the selected uibuilder node will be reloaded.
            This may be useful when auto-changing static resource files (e.g. <code>index.html</code>).
            It is mostly useful when testing. Use with caution on a live system.
        </dd>
        
        <dt>Encoding <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
        <dd>
            Not usable. Future enhancement.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            The optional string encoding to be used when the input data is a string.
            It defaults to Node.js's <code>utf8</code>.
            See Node.js documentation for what can be provided here.
        </dd>

        <dt>Mode <span class="property-type">integer</span></dt>
        <dd>
            Not usable. Future enhancement.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            The optional file output mode. Defaults to <code>0o666</code>
            See Node.js documentation for what can be provided here.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            This only impacts newly created files. It is ignored when overwriting existing files.
        </dd>
        <dd>
            On Windows, only the write permission can be set.
        </dd>

        
        <dt>Topic <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
        <dd>
            Standard optional topic name.
        </dd>

        <dt>Name <span class="property-type">string</span></dt>
        <dd>
            Standard optional name. Has no impact other than on the Editor display.
        </dd>
