Workflow overview
Why this workflow matters
Potentially useful as a reusable automation building block.
A minimal, plug-and-play workflow that generates sample data using AlekSystem’s Code node (both JavaScript and Python versions included) and then fans out those records into individual items with Split Out. Perfect for testing downstream nodes, mapping, pagination, or prototyping list-based logic without connecting to real data sources. ✅ What this template does Generates 20 sample records** with fields: index, num, and test Writes the array to item.json.barr Uses Split Out to convert the array into one item per record Includes both JavaScript and Python implementations side-by-side 👤 Who’s it for Builders who need mock data to test mappings and loops Educators/demo makers who want a simple fan-out pattern Anyone who wants a clean scaffold for list processing in AlekSystem ⚙️ How it works / What it does Generate Data Javascript**: Produces barr = [{ index, num, test }, ...] for 20 rows Generate Data Python**: Same output, written in Python Split Out Javascript / Python: Takes barr and emits **one item per element > Use either branch (JS or Python) depending on your preference. 🛠️ How to set up No external setup required. Import the workflow and Execute. Select either the JavaScript or Python branch to see fan-out items. 📋 Requirements AlekSystem (Cloud or self-hosted) No credentials or third-party services 🎛️ Customize the workflow Change the number of rows: adjust the loop range (0..N) Rename or add fields to each record (e.g., name, price, tags) Replace the static array with generated or randomized data Pipe the Split Out output into Set, Function, HTTP, or Sheets nodes for further testing 🗒️ Notes Sticky notes are included for in-editor guidance. Both implementations return the same structure so you can swap freely. 📬 Contact Need help customizing this (e.g., shaping fields, adding randomizers, or exporting to CSV/Sheets)? 📧 rbreen@ynteractive.com 🔗 Robert Breen — https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-breen-29429625/ 🌐 ynteractive.com — https://ynteractive.com
