# ComfyUI Simple Variables
|
|
|
|
A custom node pack for ComfyUI that provides **Set/Get variable nodes** for storing and retrieving data by name across your workflow.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Store any ComfyUI data type with a custom variable name
|
|
- Retrieve stored variables anywhere in your workflow
|
|
- Reduces wire clutter by allowing "wireless" data transfer
|
|
- Passthrough design - Set nodes output the same data they receive
|
|
|
|
## Supported Variable Types
|
|
|
|
| Type | Set Node | Get Node | Category |
|
|
|------|----------|----------|----------|
|
|
| Image | Set Image Variable | Get Image Variable | `variables/image` |
|
|
| Mask | Set Mask Variable | Get Mask Variable | `variables/mask` |
|
|
| Latent | Set Latent Variable | Get Latent Variable | `variables/latent` |
|
|
| Conditioning | Set Conditioning Variable | Get Conditioning Variable | `variables/conditioning` |
|
|
| Model | Set Model Variable | Get Model Variable | `variables/model` |
|
|
| CLIP | Set CLIP Variable | Get CLIP Variable | `variables/clip` |
|
|
| VAE | Set VAE Variable | Get VAE Variable | `variables/vae` |
|
|
| String | Set String Variable | Get String Variable | `variables/primitive` |
|
|
| Int | Set Int Variable | Get Int Variable | `variables/primitive` |
|
|
| Float | Set Float Variable | Get Float Variable | `variables/primitive` |
|
|
| Any | Set Any Variable | Get Any Variable | `variables` |
|
|
|
|
### Utility Nodes
|
|
|
|
- **List All Variables** - Shows all currently stored variables and their types
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repository into your ComfyUI `custom_nodes` folder:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
|
|
git clone <your-repo-url> SimpleImageVariables
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Restart ComfyUI
|
|
|
|
3. Search for "variable" in the node menu
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Basic Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Load Image] → [Set Image Variable] (name: "reference")
|
|
↓
|
|
(passes image through to next node)
|
|
|
|
... elsewhere in workflow ...
|
|
|
|
[Get Image Variable] (name: "reference") → [Use Image Node]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. **Set nodes** store the input data in memory with your chosen variable name
|
|
2. **Set nodes** also pass the data through, so you can continue your workflow normally
|
|
3. **Get nodes** retrieve the stored data by variable name
|
|
4. Variables persist for the duration of the ComfyUI session
|
|
|
|
### Tips
|
|
|
|
- Use descriptive variable names like `"upscaled_image"` or `"final_mask"`
|
|
- The **Set Any Variable** node accepts any data type (useful for custom node outputs)
|
|
- Use **List All Variables** to debug and see what's currently stored
|
|
- Variables are cleared when ComfyUI restarts
|
|
|
|
## Node Details
|
|
|
|
### Set Nodes
|
|
- **Inputs**:
|
|
- `data` - The data to store (type depends on node)
|
|
- `variable_name` - String name for the variable
|
|
- **Outputs**: Same data that was input (passthrough)
|
|
|
|
### Get Nodes
|
|
- **Inputs**:
|
|
- `variable_name` - String name of the variable to retrieve
|
|
- **Outputs**: The stored data
|
|
|
|
### Error Handling
|
|
|
|
If you try to Get a variable that hasn't been Set, you'll receive an error message listing all available variable names.
