How do I make an API call inside an n8n Code node?

Use the built-in $helpers.httpRequest() method, which allows you to perform asynchronous HTTP requests directly within your JavaScript code.

Why does my n8n Code node return a 'format' error?

n8n requires the return value to be an array of objects, where each object contains a 'json' key (e.g., return [{json: { data: 'value' }}]).

How do I access webhook data in an n8n Code node?

Webhook data is typically nested under the body property. You should access it using $input.first().json.body or $json.body.

When should I use 'Run Once for All Items' mode?

Use 'All Items' mode for 95% of cases, especially when you need to aggregate data, calculate totals, or filter the entire dataset at once.

Optimizes the development and troubleshooting of JavaScript logic within n8n Code nodes using standardized patterns and best practices.

소개

This skill provides expert-level guidance for writing JavaScript within n8n automation workflows. It helps developers master the specific syntax required for n8n, such as $input and $json accessors, while ensuring data is returned in the mandatory array-of-objects format. By offering clear patterns for data transformation, webhook handling, and the use of built-in helpers like Luxon for dates and JMESPath for querying, this skill reduces debugging time and prevents common pitfalls like incorrect mode selection or nested body errors.
