## 📦 Available Nodes
### 🔤 Text Processing
📝 Text Splitter - Split text strings by delimiter
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/Text`
Splits a text string at a specified delimiter and returns a list of strings.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `text` *(String)*: The text to split (supports multiline input)
- `delimiter` *(String)*: The character(s) to split by (default: `","`)
- `strip_whitespace` *(Boolean, optional)*: Remove leading/trailing whitespace (default: `True`)
- `remove_empty` *(Boolean, optional)*: Remove empty strings from result (default: `True`)
**📤 Outputs:**
- `text_list` *(List)*: The split list of strings
- `count` *(Integer)*: Number of elements in the list
**💡 Example:**
```
Input: "apple, banana, orange"
Delimiter: ","
Output: ["apple", "banana", "orange"] and 3
```
Process CSV-like data, split tag lists, separate coordinates, create filename lists, parse prompt components.
🔗 Text Joiner - Combine strings with custom delimiters
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/Text`
Combines a list of strings into a single text string with a customizable delimiter.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `text_list` *(List)*: List of strings to join
- `delimiter` *(String)*: Character(s) to join with (default: `", "`)
- `prefix` *(String, optional)*: Text to add at the beginning
- `suffix` *(String, optional)*: Text to add at the end
**📤 Outputs:**
- `joined_text` *(String)*: The combined text string
**💡 Example:**
```
Input: ["red", "green", "blue"]
Delimiter: " | "
Prefix: "Colors: "
Suffix: " - end"
Output: "Colors: red | green | blue - end"
```
Combine prompt parts, convert lists to readable text, create metadata tags, build filenames, format output strings.
🔄 Text Replace - Replace specific text in a string
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/Text`
Replaces all occurrences of a specific substring within a text string.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `text` *(String)*: The text to process
- `find` *(String)*: The substring to search for
- `replace` *(String)*: The string to replace it with
**📤 Outputs:**
- `text` *(String)*: The modified text string
**💡 Example:**
```
Input: "A beautiful sunset over the ocean"
Find: "sunset"
Replace: "sunrise"
Output: "A beautiful sunrise over the ocean"
```
Useful for dynamically adjusting prompts, modifying paths, and cleaning up generated text.

### 📦 Data Conversion
🗃️ TextToJSON - Convert text to JSON
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/JSON`
Converts a valid JSON string into a JSON object, enabling further data processing or integration with other nodes.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `text` *(String)*: The text to parse as JSON
**📤 Outputs:**
- `json` *(JSON/Object)*: The parsed JSON object
**💡 Example:**
```
Input: '{"name": "Alice", "age": 30}'
Output: { "name": "Alice", "age": 30 }
```
Use this node to quickly transform JSON-formatted text into a usable data structure for your ComfyUI workflows.

### 🐛 Debug Tools
🖨️ Debug Print - Console output for debugging
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/Debug`
Prints values to the console without interrupting the workflow. Perfect for debugging and monitoring data values during execution.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `value` *(Any)*: Any value to print to console (supports all data types)
- `label` *(String, optional)*: Label for the debug output (default: `"Debug"`)
**📤 Outputs:**
- `passthrough` *(Any)*: The same value passed through unchanged
**💻 Console Output:**
```
[MyLabel] list: ['Element1', 'Element2', 'Element3']
[Debug] str: Hello World
[Checkpoint] int: 42
[Data Flow] dict: {'key': 'value', 'count': 5}
[Boolean Test] bool: True
[Float Value] float: 3.14159
```
Monitor values during execution, debug complex workflows, verify data types, set checkpoints, troubleshoot unexpected results.
---
### ⏱️ Timing Control
⏳ Wait - Add delays to workflow execution
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/Timing`
Pauses workflow execution for a specified duration. Useful for rate limiting, timing control, or debugging workflow sequences.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `value` *(Any)*: Any value to pass through after the delay
- `delay_seconds` *(Float)*: Duration to wait in seconds (default: `1.0`)
- `label` *(String, optional)*: Label for console output (default: `"Wait"`)
**📤 Outputs:**
- `passthrough` *(Any)*: The same value passed through after delay
**💻 Console Output:**
```
[Wait] Waiting for 2.5 seconds...
[Wait] Wait completed.
[Custom Timer] Waiting for 5.0 seconds...
[Custom Timer] Wait completed.
```
Rate limit API calls, debug timing issues, control workflow execution speed, add pauses between operations, synchronize parallel processes.
**⚠️ Note:** Use with caution in production workflows as it will genuinely pause execution.

### 🖼️ Image Utilities
📐 Image Info - Extract image tensor dimensions
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/Image`
Extracts the width, height, and batch size from a ComfyUI Image tensor.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `image` *(Image)*: The image tensor to analyze
**📤 Outputs:**
- `width` *(Integer)*: Image width in pixels
- `height` *(Integer)*: Image height in pixels
- `batch_size` *(Integer)*: Number of images in the batch
Useful for dynamic resizing, conditional logic based on aspect ratio, or passing dimensions to other nodes.
---
### 🔧 Utility Nodes
📊 List Info - Analyze list properties
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/Utilities`
Analyzes a list and returns useful information about it.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `input_list` *(List)*: The list to analyze
**📤 Outputs:**
- `count` *(Integer)*: Number of elements
- `first_item` *(String)*: First element (as string)
- `last_item` *(String)*: Last element (as string)
Validate list processing results, get quick statistics, check if lists are empty, extract boundary values.
🔀 Conditional String - Boolean-based string selection
**Category:** `DebugPadawan/Logic`
Returns one of two strings based on a boolean condition.
**📥 Inputs:**
- `condition` *(Boolean)*: The condition to evaluate
- `true_string` *(String)*: String to return if True (default: `"True"`)
- `false_string` *(String)*: String to return if False (default: `"False"`)
**📤 Outputs:**
- `result` *(String)*: The selected string
Conditional prompt modification, dynamic filename generation, workflow branching, status message generation.

## 🎨 Quick Start Examples
### Basic Text Processing
```
"apple,banana,orange" → Text Splitter → ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
↓
["apple", "banana", "orange"] → Text Joiner → "apple | banana | orange"
```
### Text to JSON Conversion
```
'{"foo": "bar"}' → TextToJSON → { "foo": "bar" }
```
### Debug Workflow
```
Input Data → Debug Print ("Input") → Processing Node → Debug Print ("Output") → Result
```
### Timed Processing
```
Data → Wait (2.0s) → Processing → Wait (1.0s) → Output
```
