1 00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:08,100 In no trade version to one of the new features that were introduced, the new in command, it allows 2 00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:17,490 you to create a settings file configured to your liking by going through a series of questions and a 3 00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:23,820 restructured default settings file, which makes it easier for you to manually edit interchange settings. 4 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,640 And in this lecture, I'll show you both. 5 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,340 So at the moment, I'm using no trade version. 6 00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:35,730 2.1.5 and. 7 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:45,560 If you go to the DOT Note Read Directory on the Raspberry Pi in, have a look inside, you see a bunch 8 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:54,290 of files end with Jason extention like this one and most important, you'll see a Settings file. 9 00:00:54,650 --> 00:00:59,180 So this is where my note read Instance configuration go. 10 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:05,300 And this chasen file is a file that stores my flows. 11 00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:12,560 The name of the JSON file in which the flows are stored is configurable, as you see in a moment. 12 00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:20,450 I want to have a look at what the default settings file looks like, and it can have a look at that 13 00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:24,140 here on GitHub in the note read repository. 14 00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:31,160 There's the Settings JS file, and this is what a default settings file looks like. 15 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:39,320 As you can see, this Dot J.S. file contains the key value pairs, so here's the key here's a value 16 00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:41,860 for that particular key. 17 00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:50,810 This is what the note read at runtime will go into and read those key value pairs and configure itself 18 00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:53,000 according to what it finds in this file. 19 00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:59,360 So you are welcome to go in here and use a text editor and manually edit those settings. 20 00:01:59,430 --> 00:02:07,910 This is a lot of information about what each one of those settings does, and that's quite OK. 21 00:02:07,940 --> 00:02:11,780 So, for example, just scroll down to the bottom, say around. 22 00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:20,920 Around here in this, for example, where you can configure the type of code editor that you are using, 23 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,800 the supported values for the Lib key are either ACE, which is a default or Monaco, et cetera. 24 00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:30,610 So you can just change that manually. 25 00:02:31,090 --> 00:02:37,330 In my case on my Raspberry Pi, I use them to do the editing so I can go into my settings, file using 26 00:02:37,330 --> 00:02:40,270 them and just make the changes. 27 00:02:40,690 --> 00:02:43,090 So I'm going to look for code editor. 28 00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:47,750 Here it is, and I can go here and manually change this to Monaco. 29 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:55,840 I'm going to come out of this too, because what I want to show you is that instead of using the manual 30 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,030 classic way of editing the settings file, we can now use the we. 31 00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:10,270 So because I've already made a bit of configuration and that I want to lose that, I advised that before 32 00:03:10,270 --> 00:03:16,050 you go ahead and use the wizard to make changes to the settings file, you did two things. 33 00:03:16,090 --> 00:03:25,760 First, you create a backup of your file, so simply copy your file into a new name. 34 00:03:25,780 --> 00:03:27,490 In my case, it's back. 35 00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:29,350 Just call it back to. 36 00:03:31,970 --> 00:03:37,070 So you can always come back if you don't like what the wizard has done, you can always revert back 37 00:03:37,070 --> 00:03:41,780 to the original backup now Settings Chair File. 38 00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:49,850 And you should do the same thing with the flow's file, which in my case, because I didn't set a name 39 00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:53,490 for the error flow's file, the default name that is used. 40 00:03:53,490 --> 00:04:02,450 These flows underscore the hostname for the computer, which the note instance is running on both J 41 00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:02,900 sends. 42 00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:08,420 In my case, the host name is Node Red Dot Local. 43 00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:15,920 So if I don't specify a default name for my Flo's file in the Settings Strategy, yes file, then that 44 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,040 file name will be flows on the school, then the name of the hostname. 45 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:26,100 Which, in my case, is no local. 46 00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:29,030 Don't add, Jason. 47 00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:33,800 You can find that information here, so for example, I'm going to look for hostname. 48 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,570 And that's what I've been talking about here. 49 00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:38,810 This is a default name. 50 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:39,740 All right. 51 00:04:39,740 --> 00:04:43,700 So it's a good idea to have a backup of your Flo's file anyway. 52 00:04:44,330 --> 00:04:44,580 All right. 53 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,550 Having said all of that, let's go ahead and test out the wizard. 54 00:04:50,450 --> 00:04:53,170 So here I am on my Raspberry Pi. 55 00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:56,660 You don't need to be in the note rate directory. 56 00:04:56,870 --> 00:05:02,060 It's just convenience, because that way you will be able to have a look at the updated settings file 57 00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:05,540 after the end of the wizard execution. 58 00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:14,840 So the command to invoke the wizard or use the note, read at command and pass the switch in it. 59 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:20,140 So this will now take you through the series of questions. 60 00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:27,310 First, what is the file name for the Settings file and keep that setting strategy? 61 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:33,580 Yes, it already exists, so it is OK to overwrite it, and I've got a backup so I can always go back. 62 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,250 Do you want to set up user security? 63 00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:45,580 So I'll go for yes, in this case, and then I will provide a username and password for my user. 64 00:05:45,790 --> 00:05:50,230 And since that is going to be me, I'm going to give myself full access. 65 00:05:51,310 --> 00:05:51,820 All right. 66 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,340 So know, at this point, I don't want to add another user. 67 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,870 So four projects projects again, it's a new feature in note red version two. 68 00:06:01,870 --> 00:06:08,260 And at this point I'm going to say no, and I've got a separate lecture where I'll show you how these 69 00:06:08,260 --> 00:06:08,950 projects are. 70 00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:10,300 We don't need projects yet. 71 00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:12,940 Just going to say no to this question. 72 00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:18,430 Now this is where I can enter a name for Maslow's file. 73 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,540 So the default here is flows. 74 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,630 Don't Jason. 75 00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:27,000 But if I go with this name, then what do we just going to do? 76 00:06:27,010 --> 00:06:34,120 It's just going to configure note read to use that Jason, as the flows file in, is going to ignore 77 00:06:34,630 --> 00:06:41,260 the existing file that I have already created, and it contains all the data for mixing flows. 78 00:06:41,770 --> 00:06:50,620 So if I accept flows to Jason as the name for my flows file when I go back into Node two, yes and have 79 00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:57,400 a look at its user interface and reload this page, none of my existing flows will appear because the 80 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:06,250 note read instance will be reconfigured to look for flows inside this file instead of my original file. 81 00:07:06,730 --> 00:07:12,280 And because I want to continue working with my note, read flows that I have already created. 82 00:07:12,610 --> 00:07:24,010 I'm going to opt to change this name into the name of my existing flows file, which is flows and the 83 00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:25,060 school node. 84 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,590 Red Dot, local dot. 85 00:07:30,010 --> 00:07:30,610 Jason. 86 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:33,730 OK. 87 00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:40,780 And I don't need to encrypt the credentials file, so I'm going to hit enter here and skip to the next 88 00:07:40,780 --> 00:07:41,320 question. 89 00:07:41,710 --> 00:07:44,950 Now I can choose a theme for the editor. 90 00:07:45,460 --> 00:07:48,880 Just keep everything looking the same, so continue with default. 91 00:07:49,450 --> 00:07:55,720 And at this point, I can also select to use either Ace or Monaco is the text editor. 92 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:02,770 And since I'm working with no tradition to, I'll go for the new Monaco text editor. 93 00:08:05,190 --> 00:08:09,000 And will also allow its functionaries to load external modules. 94 00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:12,780 Say yes to that, and the Settings file is now. 95 00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:18,320 Written completed so it can have a look and show use cat so that. 96 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,960 And there is the updated file looks like the original Polish court changes in settings. 97 00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:33,560 For example, look for one that is easy to spot up here. 98 00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:37,310 Last time I showed you the code editor segment. 99 00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:41,030 This was said to Ace and now set to Monaco. 100 00:08:41,060 --> 00:08:49,940 By the we said All right, to make these changes effective, I will need to restart the note read instance. 101 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:52,590 To do that, I say no. 102 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:53,450 Read. 103 00:08:55,490 --> 00:08:57,560 Restart with a hyphen here. 104 00:09:00,780 --> 00:09:02,370 OK, give it a few moments. 105 00:09:02,530 --> 00:09:10,260 It's spinning in the back and and it got a few seconds for the restart process to finish. 106 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:13,080 I'll give it a go now just to refresh this page. 107 00:09:14,940 --> 00:09:15,540 Not yet. 108 00:09:26,780 --> 00:09:27,610 OK, here we go. 109 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:35,620 So remember that I have set user authentication security settings has changed, so I'm going to log 110 00:09:35,620 --> 00:09:38,740 in with my user name and password now. 111 00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:41,680 So my no trip instance is protected. 112 00:09:42,980 --> 00:09:44,180 And there's my flow. 113 00:09:44,540 --> 00:09:51,140 That's because I set the appropriate file name for a note, for instance, to look for flows. 114 00:09:51,770 --> 00:09:52,640 Everything's here. 115 00:09:55,420 --> 00:10:00,250 And you can also check out one of the other changes, for example, have a look at one of the function 116 00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:04,160 modes to see the new error code. 117 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:15,580 Text editor Just now, Monica can see it's got a different style code completion as well that wasn't 118 00:10:15,580 --> 00:10:17,680 available in the past and so on. 119 00:10:17,690 --> 00:10:18,640 So this is Monica. 120 00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:30,640 So this is what the wizard can do, where you can now configure your note read instance by going through 121 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:37,450 a series of questions and providing answers, and therefore configuring your instance of note read without 122 00:10:37,450 --> 00:10:40,000 a risk of making a mistake in the configuration. 123 00:10:40,570 --> 00:10:41,740 So just to wrap it up here. 124 00:10:42,010 --> 00:10:49,810 Remember, before you go ahead and use the widget, create a backup copy of your settings, file and 125 00:10:49,810 --> 00:10:55,420 every now and then also create a backup copy of your Flo's file just in case you need to revert back 126 00:10:55,870 --> 00:10:58,480 to an earlier version of your flukes.
