Output of other nodes
Methods for working with the output of other nodes. Some methods and variables aren't available in the Code node.
/// note | Python support
You can use Python in the Code node. It isn't available in expressions.
///
=== "JavaScript"
| Method | Description | Available in Code node? |
| ------ | ----------- | :-------------------------: |
| $("<node-name>").all(branchIndex?, runIndex?) | Returns all items from a given node. If branchIndex isn't given it will default to the output that connects node-name with the node where you use the expression or code. | :white_check_mark: |
| $("<node-name>").first(branchIndex?, runIndex?) | The first item output by the given node. If branchIndex isn't given it will default to the output that connects node-name with the node where you use the expression or code. | :white_check_mark: |
| $("<node-name>").last(branchIndex?, runIndex?) | The last item output by the given node. If branchIndex isn't given it will default to the output that connects node-name with the node where you use the expression or code. | :white_check_mark: |
| $("<node-name>").item | The linked item. This is the item in the specified node used to produce the current item. Refer to Item linking for more information on item linking. | :x: |
| $("<node-name>").params | Object containing the query settings of the given node. This includes data such as the operation it ran, result limits, and so on. | :white_check_mark: |
| $("<node-name>").context | Boolean. Only available when working with the Loop Over Items node. Provides information about what's happening in the node. Use this to determine whether the node is still processing items. | :white_check_mark: |
| $("<node-name>").itemMatching(currentNodeInputIndex) | Use instead of $("<node-name>").item in the Code node if you need to trace back from an input item. | :white_check_mark: |
