Did Run Node

Overview​

The Did Run node outputs true when all connected inputs have run.

Use it when you need to convert "this branch ran at all" into a boolean, especially for another node's built-in If port. Unlike piping a value directly into an If port, Did Run treats falsy or empty payloads such as false, 0, an empty string, null, or an explicit undefined value as successful runs.

If any connected input is Not ran, Did Run is also Not ran. If no inputs are connected, it produces Not ran.

The node body shows a short reminder that connected inputs running produces true, and falsy or empty values still count as having run.

Example: Run When A Branch Ran At All​

Suppose one branch can return false, 0, or an empty string, but you still want a later node to run whenever that branch actually ran.

  1. Connect the branch output to a Did Run input.
  2. Connect Did Run's Ran output to the later node's built-in If port.
  3. Run the graph.

The later node runs when the branch produced any value, even if that value would normally be falsy.

Error Handling​

Did Run cannot error in normal operation.
