ComfyUI Node: 🔶 Info Display

🔶 Info Display:

The chaosaiart_Show_Info node is designed to display information within your AI art workflow. This node is particularly useful for providing textual feedback or annotations directly within the workflow, making it easier to track and understand the process. By integrating this node, you can ensure that important messages or data are visible at specific points in your workflow, enhancing clarity and communication. The node's primary function is to notify and display the provided information, which can be dynamically updated based on the workflow's state. This feature is especially beneficial for complex workflows where keeping track of various stages and parameters is crucial.

🔶 Info Display Input Parameters:

info

The info parameter is a required input that accepts a string of text. This text will be displayed as the output of the node, serving as the main content for the notification or information display. The parameter supports multiline input, allowing you to provide detailed and formatted information. This can be particularly useful for adding comprehensive notes or instructions within your workflow. The forceInput attribute ensures that this parameter must be provided, making it a mandatory field for the node to function correctly.

unique_id

The unique_id parameter is a hidden input that is not typically provided by the user directly. It is used internally to identify the specific instance of the node within the workflow. This unique identifier helps in tracking and updating the node's state and is essential for maintaining the integrity of the workflow.

extra_pnginfo

The extra_pnginfo parameter is another hidden input that contains additional metadata about the workflow. This metadata can include various details, such as the workflow structure and node configurations. If the extra_pnginfo contains a workflow key, the node will use this information to update the widgets_values of the corresponding node identified by the unique_id. This allows for dynamic updates and interactions within the workflow based on the provided metadata.

🔶 Info Display Output Parameters:

The chaosaiart_Show_Info node does not produce any direct output parameters that are passed to subsequent nodes. Instead, its primary function is to display the provided information within the user interface. The node returns a dictionary containing the ui key with the displayed text, and a result key with the text as a tuple. This ensures that the information is visible to the user and can be referenced if needed.

🔶 Info Display Usage Tips:

• Use the info parameter to provide clear and concise messages or annotations within your workflow. This can help in documenting the process and making it easier to understand for others.
• Take advantage of the multiline support in the info parameter to include detailed instructions or notes, especially in complex workflows where multiple steps and parameters need to be tracked.
• Ensure that the info parameter is always provided, as it is a mandatory field for the node to function correctly.

🔶 Info Display Common Errors and Solutions:

Missing info parameter

• Explanation: The info parameter is required but was not provided.
• Solution: Ensure that you provide a string value for the info parameter. This can be a simple message or a detailed note, depending on your needs.

Invalid unique_id or extra_pnginfo

• Explanation: The unique_id or extra_pnginfo parameters are not correctly set, leading to issues in updating the node's state.
• Solution: These parameters are typically managed internally, but if you encounter issues, ensure that the workflow metadata is correctly structured and that the unique_id corresponds to a valid node instance.

Workflow metadata missing workflow key

• Explanation: The extra_pnginfo does not contain the expected workflow key, preventing the node from updating the widgets_values.
• Solution: Verify that the extra_pnginfo parameter includes the necessary workflow metadata. This may involve checking the workflow configuration and ensuring that all required information is present.
