Output of other nodes#

Methods for working with the output of other nodes. Some methods and variables aren't available in the Code node.

Python support

You can use Python in the Code node. It isn't available in expressions.

Method	Description	Available in Code node?
`$("<node-name>").all(branchIndex?, runIndex?)`	Returns all items from a given node. If `branchIndex` isn't given it will default to the output that connects `node-name` with the node where you use the expression or code.
`$("<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.
`$("<node-name>").last(branchIndex?, runIndex?)`	The last item output by the given node. If `branchIndex` isn't given it will default to the output that connects `node-name` with the node where you use the expression or code.
`$("<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.
`$("<node-name>").params`	Object containing the query settings of the given node. This includes data such as the operation it ran, result limits, and so on.
`$("<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.
`$("<node-name>").itemMatching(currentNodeInputIndex)`	Use instead of `$("<node-name>").item` in the Code node if you need to trace back from an input item.
