Multiple input type

[Hydhen]

How hard would it be to make a node input accept multiple type ?

I know that you can use the 0 to make an input accept everything but it would be handy to make our own acceptance policy directly within the input declaration

I don't know if it's possible to disconnect a link by code but multiple input types will still be a really great feature I think

I though about this:

// as type mask
this.addInput('Value', string | []);

// as an array
this.addInput('Value', ['string', '[]']);

// as an arrow function
this.addInput('Value', (t => typeof t === 'string' || t instanceof Array));

Hi @Hydhen! Have you tried with this.addInput('Value', 'string, array'); ?

[Hydhen]

Hi @atlasan !

Not yet I will, but as far as I know the type check is based only on the string so here you create a type "string, array" that won't match neither 'string' nor 'array' but 'string, array', but I might be wrong ^^

I go try and update

Just tested out, the 'string, array' notation does not work as intended it only takes the first element as type so here input only accept type string

[atlasan]

Mh.. probably it will work with 'string,array' ^_^ sorry for that. I'm quite sure it would. That's the way it is implemented, just probably it miss the trim() function to work with whispaces too.

Oh, you're right ! I didn't thought about that space would be an issue

Then yes a trim() would be a great addition 😃

Thanks for that !
