How to use it ?

install as a module with npm.

add into Node-RED settings object an instance of this module, for example in the settings.js:

var localstorage = require("node-red-localfilesystem-one-file-per-tab"); 
 
module.exports = {
    // ...
    storageModule: localstorage
    // ...
}

you can also send the merged flow by mqtt at each deploy, for example in the settings.js:

module.exports = {
    // ...
    noderedLocalfilesystemOneFilePerTab: {
        mqttBroker: "mqtt://localhost:1883",
        mqttPublishTopic: "test/flows"
    }
    // ...

NB: mqttPublishTopic can be an array of string to publish to different topics

in addition to the previous option, you can add mqtt topic trigger to send the merged flow when messages are published on it (ex: topic where something publishes at boot), for example in the settings.js:

module.exports = {
    // ...
    noderedLocalfilesystemOneFilePerTab: {
        // ...
        mqttSubscribeTopic: ["test/boot", "test2/start"]
        // ...
    }
    // ...

NB: mqttSubscribeTopic can be a string to subscribe on only 1 topic
