Create data entries YouTube (2:40)¶
In this part we create an inject
and a cloudant out
node.
Background: In our situation we will use Node-RED on IBM Cloud with and Cloudant service instance, which contains a database to save the flows and more for our Node-RED instance. We use Cloud Foundry as our runtime for the Node-RED instance and with the existing Cloudant service binding, we easly can reuse our existing Cloudant service to create a
absolute beginner database
with acloudant out
node.
The image below shows the dependencies of application
, binding
and database service
.
Step 1: Configure the inject
node to create a JSON value¶
Step 2: Insert into the inject node
following JSON¶
{ "user": {
"firstname": "Thomas",
"lastname": "Suedbroecker",
"country": "Germany"
}
}
Step 3: Open a new browser tap and login to your IBM Cloud account¶
Step 4: In the dashboard select `App¶
Step 5: Now press on your Node-RED App you created in the last video¶
Step 6: Select in the App Cloudant->Open Dashboard
¶
Step 6: In the Cloudant database service press Launch Dashboard
¶
Step 7: Now you can see the existing database nodered

Later we will find here our absolute-bebinner
database
