Simple file based key value store (WriteKey)
Store a key with a value in a local json file. Multiple keys could be saved in a single file. Related workflow: GetKey Create a subfolder in your n8n homedir: /home/node/.n8n/local-files. In docker look at the data path and create a subfolder local-files. Set the correct access rights chmod 1000.1000 local-files. Put the workflow code in a new workflow named WriteKey. Create another workflow with a function item: js return { file: '/4711.json', // 4711 should be your workflow id key: 'MyKey', value: 'MyValue' } Pipe the function item to an Execution Workflow that calls the WriteKey workflow. It would be nice if we could get someday a shiny built-in n8n node that does the job. :)
