File Reader
File Reader is a node that allows you to get data from different files. Since the gh-element stores only file identifiers, it is difficult to use data from them. That's why this node exists specifically to receive data in text format.
Inputs
The only input socket in this node is the default socket.
Default Input Sockets
Using the current socket, you can pass the ID of the desired file to the node to get the data stored in it.
| Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| File ID | value |
accepts the identifier of the file whose data is to be retrieved |
Additional Input Sockets
This node has no additional input sockets.
Outputs
As with the input socket, this node has only one output socket.
Default Output Sockets
From this output socket, you receive data from a file in the form of text data.
| Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Data | value |
returns data from a file |
Additional Output Sockets
The current node also has no additional output sockets.
Options
The current node has only two configuration parameters that determine the location and type of the output file.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Application | allows you to select the application from which files will be taken; details... |
| File Type | allows to select the type of the file from which the data will be retrieved; details... |

Application
Here you have to select the application there the files for reading are stored. This allows the node to retrieve file identifiers from some field in this application.

The File Reader can retrieve data not only from files but also from documents. To choose the one you need, select the appropriate type:
- Text for files
- Document for documents
Notes
This field is for your personal notes. Here you can specify the purpose of the node.
