Node-Red Coding

Open Source coding for the Node-Red platform

Background

I am a big fan of the Node-Red application which is an approachable platform for running NodeJs snippets and wiring the Internet of Things. I have written some modules for it and released them as Open Source for anyone to download and include in their own applications.

August 2016: node-red-contrib-blockchain - A module to easily stamp your data on the blockchain, providing an irrefutable, notarised, proof-of-existence.
October 2014: node-red-contrib-logentries - A module to easily log your data into the cloud, via LogEntries.com.

Blockchain

View on GitHub or Node-Red

This is an easy-to-use node for stamping a hash of your data on the blockchain, thus providing an incontrovertible proof-of-existence. This node uses Tierion.com API to stamp the hash of incoming data onto the blockchain direct from Node-Red.

npm install node-red-contrib-blockchain

Cloud Based Logging

An easy-to-use wrapper for the logentries.com Cloud Based Logging service. The node-red-contrib-logentries node makes it very easy to log directly to your logentries.com account direct from Node-Red.
