Object nodes

Nodes for working with plain objects. Currently a single node — Object Assign — in the Object category (indigo, curly-brace icon).

Usable both on the main canvas and inside a Function Graph.

Object Assign — object.assign​

Merges one or more source objects into a target object, compiling to Object.assign(target, source0, source1, ...). An ordinary exec pass-through node (one exec-in, one exec-out, no forking) — structurally identical to the simple array methods like array.push.

  • Inputs: in (exec) — "In"; target (value) — "Target"; source-0 (value) — "Source 0"; plus any number of additional "Source N" pins added on the node
  • Outputs: out (exec) — "Next"; result (value) — "Result" (the merged object, i.e. the target modified in place)
  • Config fields: none

Grow or shrink the source list directly on the node with the "+ Add Source" button; each dynamically-added source shows a "×" remove button. The static "Source 0" pin is always present and has no remove button. Every source pin (static and dynamic) supports inline literal editing when it isn't wired — type a default value directly on the pin.

const merged = Object.assign(target, source0, source1);

Sources are applied left-to-right, so a property present in a later source overrides the same property from an earlier one. Any source pin left unwired resolves to undefined, which Object.assign silently skips — so a node with extra sources you haven't wired yet still compiles and behaves correctly.

Use case: Combine several objects into one — for example, layering a set of default options with request-specific overrides, or merging a partial update into an existing record — without writing any raw JavaScript.
