# IPAdapter Unified Loader
## Documentation
- Class name: `IPAdapterUnifiedLoader`
- Category: `ipadapter`
- Output node: `False`

The IPAdapterUnifiedLoader node serves as a foundational component for loading various IPAdapter configurations, facilitating the dynamic integration of different model presets and computational backends. It abstracts the complexity of handling diverse input parameters, offering a streamlined approach to adapt image processing algorithms to specific needs.
## Input types
### Required
- **`model`**
    - Specifies the model to be used, serving as a key parameter in determining the processing capabilities and the output quality of the node.
    - Comfy dtype: `MODEL`
    - Python dtype: `str`
- **`preset`**
    - Defines the preset configuration to apply, allowing for customization of the processing based on predefined settings.
    - Comfy dtype: `COMBO[STRING]`
    - Python dtype: `List[str]`
### Optional
- **`ipadapter`**
    - Optional parameter for specifying an IPAdapter instance, enabling further customization and flexibility in processing.
    - Comfy dtype: `IPADAPTER`
    - Python dtype: `str`
## Output types
- **`model`**
    - Comfy dtype: `MODEL`
    - The configured model ready for use, encapsulating the selected presets and adjustments.
    - Python dtype: `str`
- **`ipadapter`**
    - Comfy dtype: `IPADAPTER`
    - An optional IPAdapter instance that can be used for additional processing or customization.
    - Python dtype: `str`
## Usage tips
- Infra type: `CPU`
- Common nodes: unknown
