ComfyUI Node: RequestInputs

RequestInputs:

The RequestInputs node is designed to facilitate the integration of external data into your AI art workflows. This node allows you to input a JSON string containing multiple values, which are then parsed and made available as individual string outputs. This functionality is particularly useful for dynamically feeding data into your AI models, enabling more flexible and responsive art generation processes. By leveraging this node, you can easily manage and utilize a wide range of input data, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of your creative projects.

RequestInputs Input Parameters:

values

The values parameter expects a JSON string that contains key-value pairs. Each value in the JSON string will be parsed and output as a separate string. This parameter allows you to input complex data structures in a simple and organized manner. The default value is an empty string (""), but you can provide any valid JSON string to suit your needs.

RequestInputs Output Parameters:

STRING_1 to STRING_32

The RequestInputs node provides up to 32 string outputs, each corresponding to a value from the input JSON string. These outputs are named STRING_1, STRING_2, ..., STRING_32. Each output will contain the value of the respective key from the input JSON string, allowing you to use these values in subsequent nodes in your workflow. This structure ensures that you can handle a large number of inputs efficiently and systematically.

RequestInputs Usage Tips:

• Ensure that your input JSON string is correctly formatted to avoid parsing errors.
• Use descriptive keys in your JSON string to make it easier to identify and use the corresponding outputs.
• If you do not need all 32 outputs, you can simply ignore the unused ones in your workflow.

RequestInputs Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid JSON format

• Explanation: The input JSON string is not correctly formatted, causing a parsing error.
• Solution: Double-check your JSON string for syntax errors, such as missing commas, brackets, or quotation marks. Use a JSON validator tool to ensure the format is correct.

Missing expected keys

• Explanation: The input JSON string does not contain the expected keys, resulting in missing outputs.
• Solution: Verify that your JSON string includes all the necessary keys. If certain keys are optional, ensure your workflow can handle their absence gracefully.

Exceeding output limit

• Explanation: The input JSON string contains more than 32 values, but the node only provides 32 outputs.
• Solution: Limit your input JSON string to 32 values or less. If you need to handle more values, consider splitting the data across multiple RequestInputs nodes.
