Features

PromptPresetSelector node

Inputs

syntax (str), default to {% | %} — defines the opening tag, separator, and closing tag as a single field, space-separated
preset_index (int), 0-based, default to 0
text (str), multiline textarea supporting preset blocks
cleanup (bool), default to True

Outputs

text (str) — the formatted text, with preset blocks resolved
preset_index (int) — the selected index
preset_count (int) — the number of presets found across blocks

Usage

Include preset blocks in your text using the syntax defined in the syntax field. Each block holds options separated by the separator. Depending on preset_index, the matching option is injected and the block markers are removed.

This is {% an example | a text | another text %} for {% the PromptPresetSelector | the README | %}

preset_index = 0 -> This is an example for the PromptPresetSelector
preset_index = 1 -> This is a text for the README
preset_index = 2 -> This is another text for

Empty presets are allowed — the block is simply replaced by an empty string.

Custom syntax

The syntax field allows changing the opening tag, separator and closing tag. Format is always open_tag separator close_tag, space-separated.

<< / >>

Would match blocks like << option_a / option_b >>.

Validation

The node runs the following checks and stops the workflow on error:

syntax must contain exactly 3 space-separated parts
open_tag and close_tag must be different
All preset blocks in text must have the same number of options
preset_index must be within range

Cleanup

When cleanup is enabled, the following are removed from the output:

Spaces before commas
Double or empty commas
Empty lines

Web

PromptPresetSelector editor

The text widget is replaced by a contentEditable div that provides syntax highlighting:

Tags and separators are highlighted in orange
The active preset is shown in full brightness
Inactive presets are grayed out
Colors are displayed when the field loses focus, and revert to plain text while editing
Highlighting updates live when syntax or preset_index are changed

Field tweaks

preset_index loops over the available indexes if possible to avoid some out-of-bounds errors

TODO

Add JS to transform preset_index into a dynamic dropdown based on named presets
Add a field to name the different presets
Add a field to easily concatenate text at the end of the output
Add color even when in edit mode
