0CodeKit

Overview

The node "0CodeKit" is a versatile toolbox of no-code utilities that supports multiple resources and operations, including AI, business, calculation, code execution, conversion, cryptography, generation, image processing, PDF manipulation, storage, date & time handling, text processing, and user-related functions.

Specifically for the Generate resource with the Name operation (interpreted here as the "generate" resource with various sub-operations), the node allows generating different types of data such as numbers, strings, QR codes, shortened URLs, colors, HTML scraping results, JSON Web Tokens encoding/decoding, mock user data, and pictures based on keywords.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where users want to automate data generation tasks without writing custom code, such as:

• Generating random numbers or strings within specified parameters.
• Creating or decoding QR codes.
• Producing mock user data for testing purposes.
• Generating color palettes with specific attributes.
• Shortening URLs or managing shortened URL entries.
• Encoding or decoding JWT tokens.
• Scraping HTML content from web pages.

Example use cases:

• Automatically generate a set of random passwords or identifiers.
• Create QR codes for event tickets or product labels.
• Generate fake user profiles for load testing an application.
• Produce color schemes for design automation workflows.
• Manage URL shortening services programmatically.

Properties

Note: This property is specifically used when running JavaScript scripts hosted on 0CodeKit (resource "editor", operation "make") and allows passing dynamic variables into the script.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the results of the requested operation(s). Each item in the output corresponds to one input item processed.

• The structure of each JSON object depends on the specific resource and operation invoked.
• For the "generate" resource, outputs may include generated values such as numbers, strings, QR code data, URLs, colors, mock user data objects, or images.
• If the operation involves binary data (e.g., images or files), the node can output this data either as URLs or buffers depending on the parameters set (getAsUrl flag).
• The output is designed to be consumed by subsequent nodes in the workflow for further processing or storage.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the 0CodeKit service.
• The node makes HTTP POST requests to the 0CodeKit API endpoints corresponding to the selected resource and operation.
• No additional external dependencies are required beyond the configured API credential.
• Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Missing or invalid API key credential will cause authentication failures.
  • Incorrect parameter values or missing required parameters for specific operations may result in errors from the API.
  • When using code variables, specifying invalid variable names or expressions may cause script execution errors.
  • Network connectivity issues can prevent communication with the 0CodeKit API.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the API key; verify the credential setup.
  • Validation errors from the API usually specify which parameter is missing or invalid; review the node's input parameters accordingly.
  • JSON parsing errors when providing JSON inputs (e.g., in advanced switch operator) suggest malformed JSON; ensure valid JSON syntax.
  • If the node throws errors related to unsupported operations or resources, confirm that the selected resource and operation are valid and supported.

• Resolution tips:

  • Double-check all required parameters for the chosen operation.
  • Use expressions carefully and validate their correctness.
  • Ensure network access to the 0CodeKit API endpoint.
  • Review the API documentation for parameter requirements and constraints.
