Update the execution logic

Nodes are executed and update their outputs based on specific triggers.

• on load
• on change
  • Allows cascading updates through connected nodes
• on interval
• on trigger
  • Allows to build more custom logic

In above example, all nodes are set to update "on change" except for the "Heavy calculation" node. This get's updated "on trigger".

info

You can also combine multiple update methods.

Checking the update behaviour

Update on change	Update on interval	Update on trigger/manually

Changing the update behaviour

1. Select the node and open the inspector
2. Show the "Common" section
3. Select the desired update behaviour

Update on load

• The node calculates its output once when the node is added/pasted or when the app is loaded

Update on change

• The node recalculates its output whenever any of its inputs change

info

• Nodes are executed in the correct order to ensure data flows correctly
• Each node's outputs are calculated before dependent nodes execute

Update on interval

• The node updates at regular time intervals
  • Set the time interval in milliseconds

Update on trigger

The node updates when it receives a trigger signal.
