72
- TypeScript types are bundled; no extra install needed.
73
-
74
- Minimal ESM usage example:
75
-
76
- ```ts
77
- import { ComfyApi, Workflow } from 'comfyui-node';
78
- import BaseWorkflow from './example-txt2img-workflow.json';
79
-
80
- async function main() {
81
- const api = await new ComfyApi('http://127.0.0.1:8188').ready();
82
- const wf = Workflow.from(BaseWorkflow)
83
- .set('6.inputs.text', 'Hello ComfyUI SDK')
84
- .output('images:9');
85
- const job = await api.run(wf, { autoDestroy: true });
86
- const result = await job.done();
87
- for (const img of (result.images?.images || [])) {
88
- console.log('image path:', api.ext.file.getPathImage(img));
89
- }
90
- }
91
- main();
92
- ```
93
-
94
- ## Cheat Sheet
95
-
96
- Fast reference for common operations. See deeper sections for narrative explanations.
97
-
98
- ### Workflow (High-Level)
99
-
100
- ```ts
101
- import { ComfyApi, Workflow } from 'comfyui-node';
102
- const api = await new ComfyApi('http://127.0.0.1:8188').ready();
103
- const wf = Workflow.from(json)
104
- .set('3.inputs.steps', 20) // dotted path set
105
- .input('SAMPLER','cfg', 4) // input helper
106
- .batchInputs('SAMPLER', { steps: 15, cfg: 3 })
107
- .output('images:9'); // alias:nodeId
108
- const job = await api.run(wf); // acceptance barrier
109
- job.on('progress_pct', p => console.log(p,'%'));
110
- const result = await job.done();
111
- for (const img of (result.images?.images||[])) console.log(api.ext.file.getPathImage(img));
112
- ```
113
-
114
- ### PromptBuilder (Lower-Level)
115
-
116
- ```ts
117
- import { PromptBuilder } from 'comfyui-node';
118
- const builder = new PromptBuilder(base,[ 'positive','seed' ],[ 'images' ])
119
- .setInputNode('positive','6.inputs.text')
120
- .setInputNode('seed','3.inputs.seed')
121
- .setOutputNode('images','9')
122
- .input('positive','A misty forest')
123
- .input('seed', 1234)
124
- .validateOutputMappings();
125
- ```
126
-
127
- ### Running (Alternate APIs)
128
-
129
- ```ts
130
- await api.run(wf); // high-level (Workflow)
131
- await api.runWorkflow(wf); // alias
132
- new CallWrapper(api, builder)
133
- .onFinished(o => console.log(o.images?.images?.length))
134
- .run(); // builder execution
135
- ```
136
-
137
- ### Declaring Outputs
138
-
139
- ```ts
140
- wf.output('alias:NodeId');
141
- wf.output('alias','NodeId');
142
- wf.output('NodeId'); // key = id
143
- // none declared -> auto collect SaveImage nodes
144
- ```
145
-
146
- ### Events (WorkflowJob)
147
-
148
- ```txt
149
- pending -> start -> progress / progress_pct / preview -> output* -> finished (or failed)
150
- ```
151
-
152
- | Event | Notes |
153
- | ----- | ----- |
154
- | pending | accepted into queue |
155
- | start | first execution step began |
156
- | progress_pct | integer 0-100 (deduped) |
157
- | preview | live frame (Blob) |
158
- | output | a declared / auto-detected node produced data |
159
- | finished | all requested nodes resolved |
160
- | failed | execution error / interruption |
161
-
162
- ### Seed Handling
163
-
164
- ```ts
165
- // -1 sentinel => randomized & reported under _autoSeeds
166
- wf.batchInputs('SAMPLER', { seed: -1 });
167
- ```
168
-
169
- ### Type Extraction
170
-
171
- ```ts
172
- type Result = ReturnType<typeof wf.typedResult>;
173
- ```
174
-
175
- ### Pool Quick Start
176
-
177
- ```ts
178
- const pool = new ComfyPool([
179
- new ComfyApi('http://localhost:8188'),
180
- new ComfyApi('http://localhost:8189')
181
- ]);
182
- const job2 = await pool.clients[0].run(wf, { pool });
183
- await job2.done();
184
- ```
185
-
186
- ### Selecting Workflow vs PromptBuilder
187
-
188
- Use Workflow for 90% of: tweak existing JSON, few parameter edits, rapid prototyping. Use PromptBuilder when you must programmatically assemble / rewire node graphs or need validation utilities pre-submit.
189
-
190
-
191
-
192
- ### High‑Level Workflow API (Experimental) – Quick Intro
193
-
194
- Skip manual `PromptBuilder` wiring with `Workflow` when you just want to tweak an existing graph JSON and run it. A full step‑by‑step tutorial is below; here is the 10‑second overview:
195
-
196
- - Load JSON – `Workflow.from(json)`
197
- - Mutate values – `.set('nodeId.inputs.field', value)`
198
- - Declare outputs – `.output('alias:nodeId')` (or just `.output('nodeId')`; falls back to auto‑detecting `SaveImage` nodes)
199
- - Execute – `await api.run(wf)` (or `api.runWorkflow(wf)` alias) returning a `WorkflowJob` (Promise‑like)
200
- - Subscribe to events – `progress`, `progress_pct`, `preview`, `output`, `finished`, `failed`
201
- - Await final object – either `await job` or `await job.done()`
202
-
203
- See the dedicated tutorial section for a narrated example and option details.
204
-
205
- ### Recent Enhancements (Ergonomics & Typing)
206
-
207
- The `Workflow` surface has gained several quality‑of‑life helpers and **progressive typing** features. All are additive (no breaking changes) and optional—fall back to raw `set()` / `output()` styles whenever you prefer.
208
-
209
- | Feature | Purpose | Example | Type Effect |
210
- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ----------- |
211
- | `wf.input(nodeId, inputName, value)` | Concise single input mutation (vs dotted path) | `wf.input('SAMPLER','steps',30)` | none (runtime sugar) |
212
- | `wf.batchInputs(nodeId, { ... })` | Set multiple inputs on one node | `wf.batchInputs('SAMPLER',{ steps:30, cfg:5 })` | none |
213
- | `wf.batchInputs({ NODEA:{...} })` | Multi‑node batch mutation | `wf.batchInputs({ SAMPLER:{ cfg:6 } })` | none |
214
- | `Workflow.fromAugmented(json)` | Soft autocomplete on sampler / scheduler but still accepts future values | `Workflow.fromAugmented(base)` | narrows fields to union \| (string & {}) |
215
- | Typed output inference | `.output('alias:ID')` accumulates object keys | `wf.output('images:SAVE_IMAGE')` | widens result shape with `images` key |
216
- | Per‑node output shape hints | Heuristic shapes for `SaveImage*`, `KSampler` | `result.images.images` | structural hints for nested fields |
217
- | Multiple output syntaxes | Choose preferred style | `'alias:NodeId'` / `('alias','NodeId')` / `'NodeId'` | identical effect |
218
- | `wf.typedResult()` | Get IDE type of final result | `type R = ReturnType<typeof wf.typedResult>` | captures accumulated generic |
219
- | Auto seed substitution | `seed: -1` randomized before submit | `wf.input('SAMPLER','seed',-1)` | adds `_autoSeeds` map key |
220
- | Acceptance barrier run | `await api.run(wf)` returns job handle pre-completion | `const job=await api.run(wf)` | result type unchanged |
221
-
222
- > All typing is structural—no runtime validation. Unknown / future sampler names or new node classes continue to work.
223
-
224
- #### Input Helpers
225
-
226
- ```ts
227
- const wf = Workflow.fromAugmented(baseJson)
228
- .input('LOADER','ckpt_name','model.safetensors')
229
- .batchInputs('SAMPLER', {
230
- steps: 30,
231
- cfg: 4,
232
- sampler_name: 'euler_ancestral', // autocomplete + accepts future strings
233
- scheduler: 'karras', // autocomplete + forward compatible
234
- seed: -1 // -1 -> auto randomized before submit
235
- })
236
- .batchInputs({
237
- CLIP_TEXT_ENCODE_POSITIVE: { text: 'A moody cinematic landscape' },
238
- LATENT_IMAGE: { width: 896, height: 1152 }
239
- });
240
- ```
241
-
242
- ### Output Declaration & Typing
243
-
244
- Each `output()` call accumulates inferred keys:
245
-
246
- ```ts
247
- const wf2 = Workflow.fromAugmented(baseJson)
248
- .output('gallery:SAVE_IMAGE') // key 'gallery'
249
- .output('KSamplerNode') // key 'KSamplerNode'
250
- .output('thumb','THUMBNAIL_NODE'); // key 'thumb'
251
-
252
- // Type exploration (IDE only):
253
- type Wf2Result = ReturnType<typeof wf2.typedResult>;
254
- // Wf2Result ~ {
255
- // gallery: { images?: any[] }; // SaveImage heuristic
256
- // KSamplerNode: { samples?: any }; // KSampler heuristic
257
- // thumb: any; // THUMBNAIL_NODE class not mapped yet
258
- // _promptId?: string; _nodes?: string[]; _aliases?: Record<string,string>; _autoSeeds?: Record<string,number>;
259
- // }
260
-
261
- const job = await api.run(wf2);
262
- const final = await job.done();
263
- final.gallery.images?.forEach(img => console.log(api.ext.file.getPathImage(img)));
264
- ```
265
-
266
- Supported output forms (all equivalent semantically; choose your style):
267
-
268
- ```ts
269
- wf.output('alias:NodeId');
270
- wf.output('alias','NodeId');
271
- wf.output('NodeId'); // raw key = node id
272
- ```
273
-
274
- If you declare *no* outputs the SDK still auto‑collects all `SaveImage` nodes.
275
-
276
- #### Per‑Node Output Shapes (Heuristics)
277
-
278
- Currently recognized:
279
-
280
- | class_type match | Inferred shape fragment |
281
- | ---------------- | ----------------------- |
282
- | `SaveImage`, `SaveImageAdvanced` | `{ images?: any[] }` |
283
- | `KSampler` | `{ samples?: any }` |
284
-
285
- All others are typed as `any` (you still get alias key inference). This table will expand; explicit contributions welcome.
286
-
287
- #### Combining With Result Metadata
288
-
289
- The object from `job.done()` (and `runAndWait`) is always the intersection:
290
-
291
- ```ts
292
- // final result shape (conceptual)
293
- { ...yourDeclaredOutputs, _promptId?: string, _nodes?: string[], _aliases?: Record<string,string>, _autoSeeds?: Record<string,number> }
294
- ```
295
-
296
- #### When to Use `Workflow.fromAugmented`
297
-
298
- Use it when you want IDE suggestions for sampler / scheduler *without* losing forward compatibility. The widened types are `TSamplerName | (string & {})` and `TSchedulerName | (string & {})` internally—any new upstream values are valid.
299
-
300
- #### Extracting a Stable Result Type
301
-
302
- If you want to export a type for downstream modules:
303
-
304
- ```ts
305
- export type MyGenerationResult = ReturnType<typeof wf.typedResult>;
306
- ```
307
-
308
- This stays accurate as long as all `output()` calls run before the type is captured.
309
-
310
- #### Limitations & Future Work
311
-
312
- - Output shapes are heuristic; not all node classes annotated yet.
313
- - Dynamic node creation using non‑strict `input()` cannot update the generic shape (TypeScript limitation). You can re‑wrap with `Workflow.fromAugmented` after structural edits if needed.
314
- - Potential future API: `wf.withOutputShapes({ MyCustomNode: { customField: string } })` for user overrides.
315

318
- ## Choosing: Workflow vs PromptBuilder
319
-
320
- | Criterion | Prefer Workflow | Prefer PromptBuilder |
321
- | --------- | --------------- | -------------------- |
322
- | Starting point | You already have a working JSON graph | You need to assemble nodes programmatically |
323
- | Change pattern | Tweak a handful of numeric/text inputs | Add/remove/re‑wire nodes dynamically |
324
- | Output declaration | Simple image node aliases | Complex multi‑node mapping / conditional outputs |
325
- | Validation needs | Light (auto collect `SaveImage`) | Strong: explicit mapping + cycle checks |
326
- | Type ergonomics | Progressive result typing via `.output()` + heuristics | Fully explicit generic parameters on construction |
327
- | Autocomplete | Sampler / scheduler (augmented mode) | Input & output alias keys / builder fluency |
328
- | Serialization | Not needed / reuse same base JSON | Need to persist & replay builder state |
329
- | Scheduling | Direct `api.run(wf)` | Usually wrapped in `CallWrapper` (or converted later) |
330
- | Learning curve | Minimal (few fluent methods) | Slightly higher (need to map inputs / outputs) |
331
- | Migration path | Can drop down later to builder if requirements grow | Can export to JSON & wrap with `Workflow.from(...)` for simpler tweaking |
332
-
333
- Rule of thumb: start with `Workflow`. Move to `PromptBuilder` when you feel friction needing structural graph edits or stronger pre‑submit validation.
334
-
335
-
336
- Pool variant (experimental):
337
-
338
- ```ts
339
- import { ComfyApi, ComfyPool, Workflow } from 'comfyui-node';
340
- import BaseWorkflow from './example-txt2img-workflow.json';
341
-
342
- const pool = new ComfyPool([
343
- new ComfyApi('http://localhost:8188'),
344
- new ComfyApi('http://localhost:8189')
345
- ]);
346
-
347
- const wf = Workflow.from(BaseWorkflow)
348
- .set('6.inputs.text', 'A macro photo of a dewdrop on a leaf')
349
- .output('9');
350
-
351
- // Run using one specific API (pool provided for scheduling context)
352
- const api2 = pool.clients[0];
353
- const job2 = await api2.run(wf, { pool });
354
- await job2.done();
355
- ```
356
-
357
- Notes:
358
-
359
- - Experimental surface: event names / helpers may refine before a stable minor release.
360
-
361
- ### PromptBuilder Validation & Serialization
362
-
363
- `PromptBuilder` now includes optional robustness helpers you can invoke before submission:
364
-
365
- ```ts
366
- builder
367
- .validateOutputMappings() // Ensures every declared output key maps to an existing node id
368
- .validateNoImmediateCycles(); // Guards against a node directly referencing itself in its input tuple
369
-
370
- // Serialize to persist / send over IPC
371
- const saved = builder.toJSON();
372
- // Later restore (types must line up with original generic parameters when casting)
373
- const restored = PromptBuilder.fromJSON(saved);
374
- ```
375
-
376
- If validation fails an `Error` is thrown with a concise list of offending mappings, e.g.
377
-
378
- ```text
379
- Error: Unmapped or missing output nodes: images:UNMAPPED
380
- ```
381
-
382
- Cycle detection currently targets immediate self‑cycles (a node whose input tuple references itself). Broader multi‑hop cycle detection can be layered later without breaking this API.
383
-
384
- ### Common Validation Patterns
385
-
386
- ```ts
387
- function safeBuild(wf: any) {
388
- return new PromptBuilder(wf,["positive","seed"],["images"])
389
- .setInputNode("positive","6.inputs.text")
390
- .setInputNode("seed","3.inputs.seed")
391
- .setOutputNode("images","9")
392
- .input("positive","Hello world")
393
- .input("seed", seed())
394
- .validateOutputMappings()
395
- .validateNoImmediateCycles();
396
- }
397
- ```
398
-
399
- ## Result Object Anatomy
400
-
401
- All high‑level executions (`api.run(wf)` / `runWorkflow` / `runAndWait`) ultimately resolve to an object merging:
402
-
403
- 1. Declared / inferred output aliases (each key value is the raw node output JSON for that node)
404
- 2. Heuristic shape hints (currently only augmenting `SaveImage*` & `KSampler` nodes with friendly nested fields)
405
- 3. Metadata fields: `_promptId`, `_nodes`, `_aliases`, `_autoSeeds`
406
-
407
- Conceptual shape:
408
-
409
- ```ts
410
- type WorkflowResult = {
411
- // Your keys:
412
- [aliasOrNodeId: string]: any; // each node's output blob (heuristically narrowed)
413
- // Metadata:
414
- _promptId?: string;
415
- _nodes?: string[]; // collected node ids
416
- _aliases?: Record<string,string>; // nodeId -> alias
417
- _autoSeeds?: Record<string,number>; // nodeId -> randomized seed (when -1 sentinel used)
418
- };
419
- ```
420
-
421
- Example with heuristics:
422
-
423
- ```ts
424
- const wf = Workflow.fromAugmented(json)
425
- .output('gallery:SAVE_IMAGE')
426
- .output('sampler:KSampler');
427
- type R = ReturnType<typeof wf.typedResult>; // => { gallery: { images?: any[] }; sampler: { samples?: any }; _promptId?: ... }
428
- ```
429
-
430
- Heuristics are intentionally shallow – they provide just enough structure for IDE discovery without locking you into specific upstream node versions. Missing shape? You still get the alias key with `any` type; open a PR to extend the mapping.
431
-
432
- Access patterns:
433
-
434
- ```ts
435
- const job = await api.run(wf);
436
- job.on('output', id => console.log('node completed', id));
437
- const res = await job.done();
438
- console.log(res._promptId, Object.keys(res));
439
- for (const img of (res.gallery?.images || [])) {
440
- console.log(api.ext.file.getPathImage(img));
441
- }
442
- ```
443
-
444
- If you need a stable exported type for consumers:
445
-
446
- ```ts
447
- export type GenerationResult = ReturnType<typeof wf.typedResult>;
448
- ```
449
-
450
- Changing outputs later? Re‑generate the type after adding the new `.output()` call.
451
-
452
-
453
- ## Multi-Instance Pool
454
-
455
- The SDK ships two pooling layers:
456
-
457
- - **`WorkflowPool` (new, recommended)** – Manages its own queue (pluggable adapters), emits per-job events with consistent job ids, and handles smart failover / retry without depending on the ComfyUI server queue depth. Ideal for multi-tenant services or when integrating with Redis/BullMQ/RabbitMQ backends. **Features automatic health checks (v1.4.1+) to maintain stable connections during idle periods.**
458
- - **`ComfyPool` (legacy)** – Weighted, in-memory scheduler that delegates most coordination to the ComfyUI queue. Useful for lightweight scripts or when you need backwards compatibility with earlier SDK versions.
459
-
460
- ### WorkflowPool
461
-
462
- `WorkflowPool` is the recommended approach for production services that need:
463
-
464
- - **Reliable connection management** – Automatic health checks keep WebSocket connections alive during idle periods, preventing false disconnection alerts
465
- - **Queue flexibility** – Pluggable queue adapters (memory, Redis, BullMQ, RabbitMQ)
466
- - **Smart failover** – Per-workflow cooldowns prevent wasting retries on incompatible nodes
467
- - **Granular events** – Track job lifecycle (queued, assigned, progress, preview, completed, failed, cancelled)
468
- - **Priority & metadata** – Attach custom metadata and control execution order
469
-
470
- #### Quick Start
471
-
472
- ```ts
473
- import { ComfyApi, WorkflowPool, MemoryQueueAdapter } from "comfyui-node";
474
- import WorkflowJson from "./example-txt2img-workflow.json";
475
-
476
- // Initialize clients
477
- const clients = [
478
- new ComfyApi("http://localhost:8188"),
479
- new ComfyApi("http://localhost:8189")
480
- ];
481
-
482
- // Create pool with default settings (includes health checks)
483
- const pool = new WorkflowPool(clients, {
484
- queueAdapter: new MemoryQueueAdapter()
485
- });
486
-
487
- // Listen to events
488
- pool.on("job:progress", (ev) => {
489
- console.log(`job ${ev.detail.jobId} -> ${ev.detail.progress.value}/${ev.detail.progress.max}`);
490
- });
491
-
492
- pool.on("job:preview", (ev) => {
493
- console.log(`preview: ${ev.detail.preview.filename}`);
494
- });
495
-
496
- pool.on("client:blocked_workflow", (ev) => {
497
- console.warn(`client ${ev.detail.clientId} cooling off for workflow ${ev.detail.workflowHash.slice(0, 8)}`);
498
- });
499
-
500
- // Enqueue job
501
- const jobId = await pool.enqueue(WorkflowJson, {
502
- metadata: { tenant: "alpha", userId: "user123" },
503
- includeOutputs: ["9"], // collect output from node 9
504
- priority: 10
505
- });
506
-
507
- console.log("queued", jobId);
508
-
509
- // Get job status anytime
510
- const job = pool.getJob(jobId);
511
- console.log(job?.status); // "queued" | "assigned" | "executing" | "completed" | "failed" | "cancelled"
512
- ```
513
-
514
- #### Configuration Options
515
-
516
- ```ts
517
- import { WorkflowPool, WorkflowPoolOpts, SmartFailoverStrategy } from "comfyui-node";
518
-
519
- const pool = new WorkflowPool(clients, {
520
- // Queue adapter (default: MemoryQueueAdapter)
521
- queueAdapter: new MemoryQueueAdapter(),
522
-
523
- // Failover strategy (default: SmartFailoverStrategy)
524
- failoverStrategy: new SmartFailoverStrategy(),
525
-
526
- // Retry backoff delay in ms (default: 1000)
527
- retryBackoffMs: 2000,
528
-
529
- // Health check interval in ms (default: 30000)
530
- // Keeps connections alive by pinging idle clients
531
- // Set to 0 to disable (not recommended for production)
532
- healthCheckIntervalMs: 30000
533
- });
534
- ```
535
-
536
- #### Connection Stability (v1.4.1+)
537
-
538
- WorkflowPool now includes **automatic health checks** to maintain stable WebSocket connections:
539
-
540
- - **Prevents idle timeouts** – Pings inactive clients every 30 seconds (configurable) with lightweight `getQueue()` calls
541
- - **Non-intrusive** – Only pings idle (non-busy) clients to avoid interference with active jobs
542
- - **Early detection** – Identifies connection issues before they impact job execution
543
- - **Zero configuration** – Enabled by default with sensible settings
544
-
545
- If you experience connection instability (clients repeatedly disconnecting/reconnecting), ensure:
546
-
547
- 1. Health checks are enabled (default behavior in v1.4.1+)
548
- 2. Your ComfyUI server is reachable and not behind aggressive firewalls
549
- 3. Network doesn't have overly aggressive idle timeouts (<30s)
550
-
551
- For debugging connection issues:
552
-
553
- ```ts
554
- pool.on("client:state", (ev) => {
555
- console.log(`client ${ev.detail.clientId}: online=${ev.detail.online}, busy=${ev.detail.busy}`);
556
- });
557
- ```
558
-
559
- See `docs/workflow-pool.md` for full API and event reference.
560
-
561
- ### Legacy Pool (`ComfyPool`)
562
-
563
- The legacy `ComfyPool` is a simpler, in-memory scheduler that relies on the server's queue depth for load balancing.
564
-
565
- #### ComfyPool Modes
566
-
567
- | Mode | Enum | Behavior | When to use |
568
- | ---- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
569
- | Pick zero queue | `EQueueMode.PICK_ZERO` (default) | Choose any online client whose reported `queue_remaining` is 0 (prefers idle machines). Locks a client until it emits an execution event. | Co-existence with the ComfyUI web UI where queue spikes are common. |
570
- | Lowest queue | `EQueueMode.PICK_LOWEST` | Choose the online client with the smallest `queue_remaining` (may still be busy). | High throughput batch ingestion; keeps all nodes saturated. |
571
- | Round-robin | `EQueueMode.PICK_ROUTINE` | Simple rotation through available online clients irrespective of queue depth. | Latency balancing; predictable distribution. |
572

575
- ## High‑Level Workflow Tutorial (New Users of This SDK)
576
-
577
- Audience: You already understand ComfyUI graphs & node JSON, but are new to this TypeScript SDK.
578
-
579
- Goals after this section you can: (a) clone a base workflow, (b) modify its parameters, (c) name your desired outputs, (d) track progress & previews, and (e) retrieve final image paths – with minimal boilerplate.
580
-
581
- ### 1. Prepare a Base Workflow JSON
582
-
583
- Export or copy a working ComfyUI txt2img graph (e.g. the one in `test/example-txt2img-workflow.json`). Ensure you know the node ID of the final `SaveImage` (here we assume `9`).
584
-
585
- ### 2. Initialize the API
586
-
587
- `api.ready()` handles connection & feature probing. It is idempotent (can be safely called multiple times). You can override the host using `COMFY_HOST`.
588
-
589
- ### 3. Mutate Parameters & Declare Outputs
590
-
591
- Use `.set('<nodeId>.inputs.<field>', value)` to change values. Call `.output('alias:nodeId')` to collect that node's result under a friendly key (`alias`). If you omit alias (`.output('9')`) the key will be the node ID. If you omit all outputs the SDK tries to collect every `SaveImage` node automatically.
592
-
593
- Auto seed: If any node has an input field literally named `seed` with value `-1`, the SDK will replace it with a random 32‑bit integer before submission and expose the mapping in the final result under `_autoSeeds` (object keyed by node id). This lets you keep templates with `-1` sentinel for “random every run”.
594
-
595
- ### 4. Run & Observe Progress
596
-
597
- `api.run(workflow, { autoDestroy: true })` executes and (optionally) closes underlying sockets once finished/failed so the process can exit without manual cleanup. The returned `WorkflowJob` is an EventEmitter‑like object AND a Promise: `await job` works just like `await job.done()`.
598
-
599
- ### 5. Extract Image Paths
600
-
601
- Final structure includes your alias keys plus `_promptId`, `_nodes` and `_aliases` metadata. Use `api.ext.file.getPathImage(imageInfo)` to build a fetchable URL.
602
-
603
- ### Complete Example
604
-
605
- ```ts
606
- import { ComfyApi, Workflow } from 'comfyui-node';
607
- import BaseWorkflow from './example-txt2img-workflow.json';
608
-
609
- async function main() {
610
- const api = await new ComfyApi(process.env.COMFY_HOST || 'http://127.0.0.1:8188').ready();
611
-
612
- const wf = Workflow.from(BaseWorkflow)
613
- .set('4.inputs.ckpt_name', process.env.COMFY_MODEL || 'SDXL/realvisxlV40_v40LightningBakedvae.safetensors')
614
- .set('6.inputs.text', 'A dramatic cinematic landscape, volumetric light')
615
- .set('7.inputs.text', 'text, watermark')
616
- .set('3.inputs.seed', Math.floor(Math.random() * 10_000_000))
617
- .set('3.inputs.steps', 8)
618
- .set('3.inputs.cfg', 2)
619
- .set('3.inputs.sampler_name', 'dpmpp_sde')
620
- .set('3.inputs.scheduler', 'sgm_uniform')
621
- .set('5.inputs.width', 1024)
622
- .set('5.inputs.height', 1024)
623
- .output('images:9'); // alias 'images' -> node 9
624
-
625
- const job = await api.runWorkflow(wf, { autoDestroy: true });
626
-
627
- job
628
- .on('pending', id => console.log('[queue]', id))
629
- .on('start', id => console.log('[start]', id))
630
- .on('progress_pct', pct => process.stdout.write(`\rprogress ${pct}% `))
631
- .on('preview', blob => console.log('\npreview frame bytes=', blob.size))
632
- .on('failed', err => console.error('\nerror', err));
633
-
634
- const result = await job; // or await job.done();
635
- console.log('\nPrompt ID:', result._promptId);
636
- for (const img of (result.images?.images || [])) {
637
- console.log('image path:', api.ext.file.getPathImage(img));
638
- }
639
- }
640
-
641
- main().catch(e => { console.error(e); process.exit(1); });
642
- ```
643
-
644
- ### Key Options Recap
645
-
646
- | Option | Where | Purpose |
647
- | ------ | ----- | ------- |
648
- | `autoDestroy` | `api.run(...)` | Automatically `destroy()` the client on finish/fail |
649
- | `includeOutputs` | `api.run(wf,{ includeOutputs:['9'] })` | Force extra node IDs (in addition to `.output(...)`) |
650
- | `pool` | (advanced) | Execute through a `ComfyPool` for multi‑instance scheduling |
651
-
652
- ### Event Cheat Sheet (WorkflowJob)
653
-
654
- | Event | Payload | Description |
655
- | ----- | ------- | ----------- |
656
- | `pending` | promptId | Enqueued, waiting to start |
657
- | `start` | promptId | Execution began |
658
- | `progress` | raw `{ value,max }` | Low‑level progress data |
659
- | `progress_pct` | number (0‑100) | Deduped integer percentage (fires on change) |
660
- | `preview` | `Blob` | Live image preview frame |
661
- | `output` | nodeId | Partial node output arrived |
662
- | `finished` | final object | All requested outputs resolved |
663
- | `failed` | `Error` | Execution failed / interrupted |
664
-
665
- ### Execution Flow & Await Semantics
666
-
667
- `await api.run(wf)` resolves AFTER the job has been accepted (queued) and returns a `WorkflowJob` handle you can attach events to. You then explicitly `await job.done()` for final outputs.
668
-
669
- ```ts
670
- const job = await api.run(wf); // acceptance barrier reached -> you have prompt id via 'pending' event
671
- job
672
- .on('progress_pct', pct => console.log('progress', pct))
673
- .on('preview', blob => console.log('preview frame', blob.size));
674
-
675
- const outputs = await job.done(); // final mapped outputs + metadata
676
- ```
677
-
678
- This two‑stage await keeps early feedback (events available immediately after acceptance) while still letting you write linear code for final result consumption.
679
-
680
- Auto‑generated metadata keys:
681
-
682
- | Key | Meaning |
683
- | --- | ------- |
684
- | `_promptId` | Server prompt id assigned |
685
- | `_nodes` | Array of collected node ids |
686
- | `_aliases` | Mapping nodeId -> alias (where provided) |
687
- | `_autoSeeds` | Mapping nodeId -> randomized seed (only when you used -1 sentinel) |
688
-
689
- ---
690
-
691
- ### Job Weighting
692
-
693
- Jobs are inserted into an internal priority queue ordered by ascending weight. Lower weight runs earlier. By default the weight is set to the queue length at insertion (FIFO). You can override:
694
-
695
- ```ts
696
- await Promise.all([
697
- pool.run(doSomethingHeavy, 10), // runs later
698
- pool.run(doSomethingQuick, 1), // runs first
699
- pool.run(anotherTask, 5)
700
- ]);
701
- ```
702
-
703
- ### Include / Exclude Filters
704
-
705
- Target or avoid specific client IDs:
706
-
707
- ```ts
708
- await pool.run(taskA, undefined, { includeIds: ["gpu-a"] }); // only gpu-a
709
- await pool.run(taskB, undefined, { excludeIds: ["gpu-b"] }); // any except gpu-b
710
- ```
711
-
712
- ### Failover & Retries
713
-
714
- `run()` attempts transparent failover when a job throws. It excludes the failing client and retries another (up to `maxRetries`).
715
-
716
- ```ts
717
- await pool.run(doGenerate, undefined, undefined, { maxRetries: 3, retryDelay: 1500 });
718
- ```
719
-
720
- Disable failover:
721
-
722
- ```ts
723
- await pool.run(doGenerate, undefined, undefined, { enableFailover: false });
724
- ```
725
-
726
- ### Pool Events
727
-
728
- `ComfyPool` is an `EventTarget` emitting high‑level orchestration signals:
729
-
730
- | Event | Detail Payload | When |
731
- | ----- | -------------- | ---- |
732
- | `init` | – | All clients added & initial processing pass done |
733
- | `added` / `removed` | `{ client, clientIdx }` | Client lifecycle changes |
734
- | `ready` | `{ client, clientIdx }` | Individual client fully initialized |
735
- | `executing` / `executed` | `{ client, clientIdx }` | A job starts / finishes on a client |
736
- | `execution_error` | `{ client, clientIdx, error, willRetry, attempt, maxRetries }` | A job threw; may retry |
737
- | `execution_interrupted` | `{ client, clientIdx }` | Underlying API emitted interruption |
738
- | `connected` / `disconnected` / `reconnected` | `{ client, clientIdx }` | WebSocket state relayed from `ComfyApi` |
739
- | `terminal` | `{ clientIdx, line }` | Terminal log pass‑through |
740
- | `system_monitor` | `{ clientIdx, data }` | Crystools monitor snapshot (when supported) |
741
- | `add_job` | `{ jobIdx, weight }` | Job inserted into internal queue |
742
- | `change_mode` | `{ mode }` | Queue selection mode altered |
743
- | `have_job` | `{ client, remain }` | A client reports pending queue > 0 |
744
- | `idle` | `{ client }` | A previously busy client reports queue 0 |
745
-
746
- ### Cleaning Up
747
-
748
- Always invoke `destroy()` when finished to clear intervals, event listeners & underlying client connections:
749
-
750
- ```ts
751
- pool.destroy();
752
- ```
753
-
754
- ### Combined Orchestration Example (Auth + Pool + Validation + Retry)
755
-
756
- ```ts
757
- import { ComfyApi, ComfyPool, EQueueMode, PromptBuilder, CallWrapper, seed } from "comfyui-node";
758
-
759
- const pool = new ComfyPool([
760
- new ComfyApi(process.env.C1!,"c1", { credentials: { type: "bearer_token", token: process.env.C1_TOKEN! } }),
761
- new ComfyApi(process.env.C2!,"c2")
762
- ], { mode: EQueueMode.PICK_LOWEST });
763
-
764
- async function generate(api: ComfyApi, text: string) {
765
- const wf = /* load / clone a base workflow JSON */ {} as any;
766
- const builder = new PromptBuilder(wf,["positive","seed"],["images"])
767
- .setInputNode("positive","6.inputs.text")
768
- .setInputNode("seed","3.inputs.seed")
769
- .setOutputNode("images","9")
770
- .input("positive", text)
771
- .input("seed", seed())
772
- .validateOutputMappings();
773
-
774
- return await new Promise<string[]>((resolve, reject) => {
775
- new CallWrapper(api, builder)
776
- .onFinished(d => resolve((d.images?.images||[]).map((img:any)=> api.ext.file.getPathImage(img))))
777
- .onFailed(err => reject(err))
778
- .run();
779
- });
780
- }
781
-
782
- // Weighted submission with retry semantics
783
- const tasks = ["cat portrait","cyberpunk city","forest at dawn"].map(txt => (api: ComfyApi) => generate(api, txt));
784
- const results = await Promise.all(tasks.map((fn,i)=> pool.run(fn, i))); // lower weight = earlier
785
- console.log(results.flat());
786
- pool.destroy();
787
- ```
788
-
789
- ### Choosing a Mode
790
-
791
- | Goal | Suggested Mode |
792
- | ---- | -------------- |
793
- | Minimize latency spikes | `PICK_ZERO` |
794
- | Maximize throughput | `PICK_LOWEST` |
795
- | Deterministic striping | `PICK_ROUTINE` |
796
-
797
- You can change dynamically:
798
-
799
- ```ts
800
- pool.changeMode(EQueueMode.PICK_LOWEST);
801
- ```
802
-
803
- ### Observability Tips
804
-
805
- Listen for `execution_error` with `willRetry=true` to surface transient node failures; attach Prometheus / metrics counters externally from these events if desired.
806
-
807
- ### Relation to `CallWrapper`

- `ComfyPool` does not abstract prompt construction or execution detail; each job decides how to use `CallWrapper`, direct `api.ext.queue.*` calls or even file operations before enqueueing.

812
-
813
- - Global circuit breaker (temporarily exclude flapping client)
814
- - Adaptive weight assignment based on rolling execution duration
815
- - Pluggable selection strategies via user callback
816
-
817
- If you build one, open a PR – keep the core minimal & dependency‑free.

864
- ## Events
865
-
866
- Both `ComfyApi` and `ComfyPool` expose strongly typed event maps. Import the key unions or event maps for generic helpers:
867
-
868
- ```ts
869
- import { ComfyApi, ComfyApiEventKey, TComfyAPIEventMap } from 'comfyui-node';
870
-
871
- const api = new ComfyApi('http://localhost:8188');
872
- api.on('progress', (ev) => {
873
- console.log(ev.detail.value, '/', ev.detail.max);
874
- });
875
-
876
- function handleApiEvent<K extends ComfyApiEventKey>(k: K, e: TComfyAPIEventMap[K]) {
877
- if (k === 'executed') {
878
- console.log('Node executed:', e.detail.node);
879
- }
880
- }
881
- ```
882
-
883
- Pool usage:
884
-
885
- ```ts
886
- import { ComfyPool, ComfyPoolEventKey } from 'comfyui-node';
887
-
888
- pool.on('execution_error', (ev) => {
889
- if (ev.detail.willRetry) console.warn('Transient failure, retrying...');
890
- });
891
- ```
892

895
- ## Preview Metadata
896
-
897
- When the server advertises the `supports_preview_metadata` feature flag, binary preview frames are sent using a richer protocol (`PREVIEW_IMAGE_WITH_METADATA`). The SDK decodes these frames and exposes both legacy and richer events.
898
-
899
- What you get:
900
-
901
- - Low-level API events on `ComfyApi`:
902
- - `b_preview` – existing event with `Blob` image only (kept for backward compatibility)
903
- - `b_preview_meta` – new event with `{ blob: Blob; metadata: any }`
904
-
905
- - High-level `WorkflowJob` events:
906
- - `preview` – existing event with `Blob`
907
- - `preview_meta` – new event with `{ blob, metadata }`
908
-
909
- Server protocol (per ComfyUI `protocol.py`):
910
-
911
- - Binary event IDs:
912
- - `1` = `PREVIEW_IMAGE` (legacy)
913
- - `4` = `PREVIEW_IMAGE_WITH_METADATA`
914
- - For type `4`, payload format after the 4-byte type header:
915
- - 4 bytes: big-endian uint32 `metadata_length`
916
- - N bytes: UTF-8 JSON metadata
917
- - remaining: image bytes (PNG or JPEG)
918
-
919
- The SDK reads `metadata.image_type` to set the Blob MIME type.
920
-
921
- Example – low-level API usage:
922
-
923
- ```ts
924
- api.on('b_preview_meta', (ev) => {
925
- const { blob, metadata } = ev.detail;
926
- console.log('[b_preview_meta]', metadata, 'bytes=', blob.size);
927
- });
928
- ```
929
-
930
- Example – high-level Workflow API usage:
931
-
932
- ```ts
933
- const job = await api.run(wf, { autoDestroy: true });
934
-
935
- job
936
- .on('preview', (blob) => console.log('preview bytes=', blob.size))
937
- .on('preview_meta', ({ blob, metadata }) => {
938
- console.log('mime:', metadata?.image_type, 'size=', blob.size);
939
- // other metadata fields depend on the server implementation
940
- });
941
- ```
942
-
943
- Backwards compatibility:
944
-
945
- - If the server only emits legacy frames, you will still receive `preview` / `b_preview` events as before.
946
- - When metadata frames are present, both are emitted: `b_preview` and `b_preview_meta` (and at the high level, `preview` and `preview_meta`).
947
-
948
- Troubleshooting:
949
-
950
- - Ensure your ComfyUI build supports `PREVIEW_IMAGE_WITH_METADATA` and that the feature flag is enabled. The SDK announces support via WebSocket on connect.
951

954
- ## API Nodes (Comfy.org paid)
955
-
956
- Some workflows use paid API nodes (for example, Luma/Photon) that communicate progress and results via additional binary WebSocket frames. This SDK supports those nodes by:
957
-
958
- - Allowing you to pass your Comfy.org API key to the server with each job
959
- - Emitting low-level events for binary/text frames so you can surface progress and result URLs
960
-
961
- ### Enabling API-node runs
962
-
963
- Provide your key through the `comfyOrgApiKey` client option (recommended to source it from an environment variable):
964
-
965
- ```ts
966
- import { ComfyApi, Workflow } from 'comfyui-node';
967
- import LumaPhoton from './your-luma-photon-workflow.json';
968
-
969
- const api = await new ComfyApi(
970
- process.env.COMFY_HOST || 'http://127.0.0.1:8188',
971
- undefined,
972
- {
973
- comfyOrgApiKey: process.env.COMFY_ORG_API_KEY,
974
- wsTimeout: 30000, // API nodes may take longer; increase if needed
975
- debug: true // optional: structured socket + polling logs
976
- }
977
- ).ready();
978
-
979
- // Minimal example: set prompt/seed, declare output, observe events
980
- const wf = Workflow.fromAugmented(LumaPhoton)
981
- .input('LUMA', 'prompt', 'Old photograph of the Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, aerial view')
982
- .input('LUMA', 'seed', -1) // -1 => randomized; see _autoSeeds in result
983
- .output('final_images', '2'); // alias, nodeId (auto-corrects if swapped)
984
-
985
- // Low-level API-node events (binary channel text + raw preview bytes)
986
- api.on('b_text', (ev) => {
987
- const text = (ev as any).detail as string;
988
- if (typeof text === 'string') console.log('[api-node text]', text.slice(0, 200));
989
- });
990
- api.on('b_text_meta', (ev) => {
991
- // { channel: number, text: string }
992
- console.log('[api-node text meta]', (ev as any).detail);
993
- });
994
- api.on('b_preview_raw', (ev) => {
995
- const bytes = (ev as any).detail as Uint8Array;
996
- console.log('[api-node preview raw bytes]', bytes?.byteLength);
997
- });
998
-
999
- const job = await api.run(wf, { autoDestroy: true });
1000
-
1001
- job
1002
- .on('start', (id) => console.log('[start]', id))
1003
- .on('progress_pct', (p) => process.stdout.write(`\rprogress ${p}% `))
1004
- .on('preview', (blob) => console.log('\npreview bytes=', blob.size))
1005
- .on('failed', (e) => console.error('\nfailed', e));
1006
-
1007
- const result = await job.done();
1008
- console.log('\nPrompt ID:', result._promptId);
1009
- for (const img of (result.final_images?.images || [])) {
1010
- console.log('image path:', api.ext.file.getPathImage(img));
1011
- }
1012
- ```
1013
-
1014
- Notes:
1015
-
1016
- - API-node text frames often include human-readable progress and a final “Result URL:” line. The SDK exposes the raw text via `b_text` and `{ channel, text }` via `b_text_meta` so you can parse or display them as desired.
1017
- - For long-running API calls, increase `wsTimeout` and consider enabling `debug` or setting `COMFY_DEBUG=1` to troubleshoot reconnection/polling.
1018
- - Output declaration accepts any of: `'alias:NodeId'`, `('alias','NodeId')`, or `'NodeId'`. If you accidentally swap the alias/id parameters, the SDK will auto-correct and warn.
1019
-
1020
- Security tip: Never print your API key. The built-in debug logger redacts common key/authorization fields automatically.
1021

1024
- ## Image Inputs: Attach Files (DX)
1025
-
1026
- When a workflow references images (e.g., `LoadImage.image = "IMAGE_A.png"` or folder loaders such as `LoadImageSetFromFolderNode`), you can attach local buffers directly to the `Workflow` and let the SDK handle uploads before execution.
1027
-
1028
- Helpers:
1029
-
1030
- - `wf.attachImage(nodeId, inputName, data, fileName, opts?)`
1031
- - Uploads `data` (Blob/Buffer/ArrayBuffer/Uint8Array) and sets the node input to `fileName` automatically.
1032
- - Options: `{ subfolder?: string; override?: boolean }`.
1033
- - `wf.attachFolderFiles(subfolder, files[], opts?)`
1034
- - Upload multiple files into a server subfolder; ideal for folder‑based loaders.
1035
-
1036
- Example (see `scripts/image-loading-demo.ts`):
1037
-
1038
- ```ts
1039
- import { ComfyApi, Workflow } from 'comfyui-node';
1040
- import Graph from './ImageLoading.json';
1041
- import * as fs from 'node:fs/promises';
1042
- import * as path from 'node:path';
1043
-
1044
- const api = await new ComfyApi(process.env.COMFY_HOST || 'http://127.0.0.1:8188').ready();
1045
- const wf = Workflow.from(Graph);
1046
-
1047
- // Attach two individual images for LoadImage nodes 2 and 4
1048
- const dir = path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'scripts', 'example_images');
1049
- const a = await fs.readFile(path.join(dir, 'IMAGE_A.png'));
1050
- const b = await fs.readFile(path.join(dir, 'IMAGE_B.png'));
1051
- wf.attachImage('2', 'image', a, 'IMAGE_A.png', { override: true })
1052
- .attachImage('4', 'image', b, 'IMAGE_B.png', { override: true });
1053
-
1054
- // Attach an entire folder for node 5 (LoadImageSetFromFolderNode)
1055
- const files = (await fs.readdir(dir))
1056
- .filter(f => /\.(png|jpe?g|webp)$/i.test(f))
1057
- .map(async f => ({ fileName: f, data: await fs.readFile(path.join(dir, f)) }));
1058
- wf.attachFolderFiles('EXAMPLE_IMAGES', await Promise.all(files), { override: true });
1059
- wf.set('5.inputs.folder', 'EXAMPLE_IMAGES');
1060
-
1061
- // Collect a simple output target for demonstration
1062
- wf.output('1');
1063
-
1064
- const job = await api.run(wf, { autoDestroy: true });
1065
- job.on('progress_pct', p => process.stdout.write(`\rprogress ${p}% `));
1066
- await job.done();
1067
- ```
1068
-
1069
- Notes:
1070
-
1071
- - The inputs are updated to point at the uploaded filenames; subfolders are handled server‑side.
1072
- - Use `override: true` to replace existing files with the same name if needed.
1073

1139
- ## Reference Overview
1140
-
1141
- Core (non‑deprecated) `ComfyApi` methods: `init`, `waitForReady`, event registration (`on`/`off`/`removeAllListeners`), `fetchApi`, `pollStatus`, `ping`, `reconnectWs`, `destroy`, and modular surface via `ext`.
1142
-
1143
- Supporting classes:
1144
-
1145
- - `PromptBuilder` – graph construction & value injection
1146
- - `CallWrapper` – prompt execution lifecycle helpers
1147
- - `ComfyPool` – multi‑instance scheduler
1148
-
1149
- Enums & Types: `EQueueMode`, sampler / scheduler unions, `OSType`, plus exported response types found under `types/*`.
1150
-
1151
- ## Monitoring: System vs Job Progress
1152
-
1153
- "Monitoring" in this SDK refers to two unrelated event domains:
1154
-
1155
- | Type | Source | Requires Extension | Events | Usage |
1156
- | ---- | ------ | ------------------ | ------ | ----- |
1157
- | System Monitoring | Crystools extension | Yes (ComfyUI-Crystools) | `system_monitor` (pool) + feature internals | Host CPU/GPU/RAM telemetry |
1158
- | Job Progress | Core ComfyUI | No | `executing`, `progress`, `executed`, `execution_success`, `execution_error`, `execution_interrupted`, `b_preview` | Per‑job progress %, live image previews |
1159
-
1160
- System monitoring is toggled via env flags in the smoke script (`COMFY_MONITOR`, `COMFY_MONITOR_STRICT`, `COMFY_MONITOR_FORCE`) and is surfaced under `api.ext.monitor`.
1161
-
1162
- Job progress monitoring is always active: subscribe directly (`api.on("progress", ...)`) or use higher‑level helpers:
1163
-
1164
- ```ts
1165
- new CallWrapper(api, builder)
1166
- .onProgress(p => console.log(p.value, '/', p.max))
1167
- .onPreview(blob => /* show transient image */)
1168
- .onFinished(out => /* final outputs */)
1169
- .run();
1170
- ```
1171
-
1172
- The published smoke test now logs job progress automatically and counts preview frames. Set `COMFY_PROGRESS_VERBOSE=1` to force log every step (not just percentage changes).
1173
-
1174
- If you only need generation progress & previews you do NOT need the Crystools extension.
1175
-
1176
- ## Examples
1177
-
1178
- See the `examples` directory for text-to-image, image-to-image, upscaling and pool orchestration patterns. For an end-to-end WorkflowPool + WebSocket demo, open `demos/recursive-edit/` and run the recursive image editing server + web client.
1179
-
1180
- ## Errors & Diagnostics
1181
-
1182
- The SDK raises specialized subclasses of `Error` to improve debuggability during workflow submission and execution:
1183
-
1184
- | Error | When | Key Extras |
1185
- | ----- | ---- | ---------- |
1186
- | `EnqueueFailedError` | HTTP `/prompt` (append/queue) failed | `status`, `statusText`, `url`, `method`, `bodyJSON`, `bodyTextSnippet`, `reason` |
1187
- | `ExecutionFailedError` | Execution finished but not all mapped outputs arrived | missing outputs context |
1188
- | `ExecutionInterruptedError` | Server emitted an interruption mid run | cause carries interruption detail |
1189
- | `MissingNodeError` | A declared bypass or output node is absent | `cause` (optional) |
1190
- | `WentMissingError` | Job disappeared from queue and no cached output | – |
1191
- | `FailedCacheError` | Cached output retrieval failed | – |
1192
- | `CustomEventError` | Server emitted execution error event | event payload in `cause` |
1193
- | `DisconnectedError` | WebSocket disconnected mid‑execution | – |
1194
-
1195
- ### Error Codes
1196
-
1197
- Every custom error exposes a stable `code` (enum) to enable branch logic without string matching message text:
1198
-
1199
- ```ts
1200
- import { ErrorCode, EnqueueFailedError } from "comfyui-node";
1201
-
1202
- try { /* run call wrapper */ } catch (e) {
1203
- if ((e as any).code === ErrorCode.ENQUEUE_FAILED) {
1204
- // inspect structured diagnostics
1205
- }
1206
- }

- ### EnqueueFailedError Details
1210
-
1211
- When the server rejects a workflow submission the SDK now attempts to surface the underlying cause:
1212
-
1213
- ```ts
1214
- try {
1215
- await new CallWrapper(api, workflow).run();
1216
- } catch (e) {
1217
- if (e instanceof EnqueueFailedError) {
1218
- console.error('Status:', e.status, e.statusText);
1219
- console.error('Reason:', e.reason);
1220
- console.error('Body JSON:', e.bodyJSON);
1221
- console.error('Snippet:', e.bodyTextSnippet);
1222
- }
1223
- }
1224
- ```
1225
-
1226
- `reason` is resolved using (in order): `bodyJSON.error`, `bodyJSON.message`, falling back to a truncated textual body (first 500 chars). Raw JSON (if parseable) and a short text snippet are both retained to help rapidly identify mis‑shaped prompts, missing extensions, permission issues or model path problems.
1227
-
1228
- If the response body is not JSON, `bodyTextSnippet` contains the first 500 characters of the returned text, which is also copied into `reason`.
1229
-
1230
- These enriched diagnostics are only attached for the enqueue phase; downstream execution issues still rely on event‑level errors.
1231
-
1232
- ### Execution Failure vs Interruption
1233
-
1234
- - `ExecutionFailedError`: The workflow ran but one or more declared output nodes never produced data (often due to an upstream node error not surfaced as a global event). Revisit your output mappings or inspect per‑node errors.
1235
- - `ExecutionInterruptedError`: The server (or user action) actively interrupted execution; retrying may succeed if the interruption cause was transient.
1236
-
1237
- ### Persisting & Replaying Builder State
1238
-
1239
- You can store builder state in a database / job queue:
1240
-
1241
- ```ts
1242
- const snapshot = builder.toJSON();
1243
- // later
1244
- const restored = PromptBuilder.fromJSON(snapshot)
1245
- .validateOutputMappings();
1246
- ```
1247
-
1248
- This is useful for deferred execution, cross‑process scheduling, or audit logging of the exact prompt graph sent to the server.
1249

1250
- ## Testing & Coverage
1251
-
1252
- This repository uses Bun's built-in test runner. Common scripts:
1253
-
1254
- ```bash
1255
- bun test # unit + lightweight integration tests
1256
- bun run test:real # real server tests (COMFY_REAL=1)
1257
- bun run test:full # comprehensive real server tests (COMFY_REAL=1 COMFY_FULL=1)
1258
- bun run coverage # text coverage summary (lines/functions per file)
1259
- bun run coverage:lcov # generate coverage/lcov.info (for badges or external services)
1260
- bun run coverage:enforce # generate LCOV then enforce thresholds
1261
- ```
1262
-
1263
- Environment flags:
1264
-
1265
- - `COMFY_REAL=1` enables `test/real.integration.spec.ts` (expects a running ComfyUI at `http://localhost:8188` unless overridden via `COMFY_HOST`).
1266
- - `COMFY_FULL=1` additionally enables the extended `test/real.full.integration.spec.ts` suite.
1267
- - `COMFY_HOST=http://host:port` to point at a non-default instance.
1268
-
1269
- Coverage thresholds are enforced by `scripts/coverage-check.ts` (baseline intentionally modest to allow incremental improvement):
1270
-
1271
- Default thresholds:
1272
-
1273
- - Lines: `>= 25%`
1274
- - Functions: `>= 60%`
1275
-
1276
- Override thresholds ad hoc (CI example):
1277
-
1278
- ```bash
1279
- COVERAGE_MIN_LINES=30 COVERAGE_MIN_FUNCTIONS=65 bun run coverage:enforce
1280
- ```
1281
-
1282
- or in PowerShell:
1283
-
1284
- ```powershell
1285
- $env:COVERAGE_MIN_LINES=30; $env:COVERAGE_MIN_FUNCTIONS=65; bun run coverage:enforce
1286
- ```
1287
-
1288
- ### Improving Coverage
1289
-
1290
- Current low-coverage areas (see `bun test --coverage` output):
1291
-
1292
- - `src/client.ts` – large surface; break out helpers & add unit tests for fetch error branches and WebSocket reconnect logic.
1293
- - `src/call-wrapper.ts` – test error paths (enqueue failure, execution interruption, missing outputs) with mocked `fetch` & event streams.
1294
- - Feature modules with toleration logic (`monitoring`, `manager`, `terminal`) – add mocks to simulate absent endpoints & successful responses.
1295
-
1296
- Incremental strategy:
1297
-
1298
- 1. Extract pure helper functions from monolithic classes (e.g., parsing, polling backoff) into modules you can unit test in isolation.
1299
- 2. Add fine-grained tests for error branches (simulate non-200 responses & malformed JSON bodies) to raise line coverage quickly.
1300
- 3. Introduce deterministic mock WebSocket that replays scripted events (connection drop, progress, output) to cover reconnect & event translation.
1301
- 4. Gradually raise `COVERAGE_MIN_LINES` by 5% after each meaningful set of additions.
1302
-
1303
- Skipping heavy real-image generation: full suite internally tolerates missing models & will skip or soften assertions rather than fail—use it sparingly in CI (nightly job) if runtime is a concern.

- If contributing, please run at least:
1306
-
1307
- ```bash
1308
- bun test && bun run coverage
1309
- ```
1310
-
1311
- before opening a PR, and prefer adding tests alongside new feature code.

- ## Troubleshooting
1314
-
1315
- | Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
1316
- | ------- | ------------ | ---- |
1317
- | `progress_pct` never fires | Only listening to raw `progress` (or run finished instantly) | Subscribe to `progress_pct`; ensure workflow isn't trivially cached / instant |
1318
- | Empty `images` array | Wrong node id in `.output()` or no `SaveImage` nodes detected | Verify node id in base JSON; omit outputs to let auto-detect run |
1319
- | `_autoSeeds` missing | No `seed: -1` inputs present | Set seed field explicitly to `-1` on nodes requiring randomization |
1320
- | Autocomplete missing for sampler | Used `Workflow.from(...)` not `fromAugmented` | Switch to `Workflow.fromAugmented(json)` |
1321
- | Type not updating after new `.output()` | Captured type alias before adding the call | Recompute `type R = ReturnType<typeof wf.typedResult>` after the last output declaration |
1322
- | Execution error but no missing outputs | Underlying node error surfaced via `execution_error` event | Listen to `failed` + inspect error / server logs |
1323
- | Job hangs waiting for output | Declared non-existent node id | Run with fewer outputs or validate JSON; inspect `_nodes` metadata |
1324
- | Random seed not changing between runs | Provided explicit numeric seed | Use `-1` sentinel or generate a random seed before `.set()` |
1325
- | Preview frames never appear | Workflow lacks preview-capable nodes (e.g. KSampler) | Confirm server emits `b_preview` events for your graph |
1326
- | Pool never selects idle client | Mode set to `PICK_LOWEST` with constant queue depth | Switch to `PICK_ZERO` for latency focus |
1327
- | High-level run returns immediately | Accessed `await api.run(wf)` only (acceptance barrier) | Await `job.done()` or events to completion |
1328

1329
- Diagnostic tips:
1330
-
1331
- - Enable verbose progress: set `COMFY_PROGRESS_VERBOSE=1` before running the smoke script.
1332
- - For enqueue failures inspect `EnqueueFailedError` fields (`status`, `reason`, `bodyTextSnippet`).
1333
- - Use `_aliases` metadata to confirm alias -> node id mapping at runtime.
1334
- - Log `_autoSeeds` to verify sentinel replacement behavior in batch runs.
1335
- - If types feel stale, close & reopen the file – TypeScript sometimes caches deep conditional expansions.
1336
-
1337
-
1338
- ## Published Smoke Test
1339
-
1340
- The script `scripts/published-e2e.ts` offers a zero‑config verification of the published npm artifact with **Bun auto‑install**. It dynamically imports `comfyui-node`, builds a small txt2img workflow (optionally an upscale branch), waits for completion and prints output image URLs.
1341
-
1342
- ### Quick Run (Auto‑Install)
1343
-
1344
- ```bash
1345
- mkdir comfyui-node-smoke
1346
- cd comfyui-node-smoke
1347
- curl -o published-e2e.ts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorls/comfyui-node/main/scripts/published-e2e.ts
1348
- COMFY_HOST=http://localhost:8188 bun run published-e2e.ts
1349
- ```
1350
-
1351
- ### Optional Explicit Install
1352
-
1353
- ```bash
1354
- mkdir comfyui-node-smoke
1355
- cd comfyui-node-smoke
1356
- bun add comfyui-node
1357
- curl -o published-e2e.ts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorls/comfyui-node/main/scripts/published-e2e.ts
1358
- COMFY_HOST=http://localhost:8188 bun run published-e2e.ts
1359
- ```
1360
-
1361
- ### Environment Variables
1362

1365
- | `COMFY_HOST` | `http://127.0.0.1:8188` | Base ComfyUI server |
1366
- | `COMFY_MODEL` | `SDXL/sd_xl_base_1.0.safetensors` | Checkpoint file name (must exist) |
1367

1368
- | `COMFY_NEGATIVE_PROMPT` | `text, watermark` | Negative text |
1369

1375
- | `COMFY_UPSCALE` | unset | If set, adds RealESRGAN upscale branch |
1376
- | `COMFY_MONITOR` | unset | If set, attempt to enable Crystools system monitor & log first event |
1377
- | `COMFY_MONITOR_STRICT` | unset | With monitor enabled, fail (exit 5) if no events received |
1378
-
1379
- Exit codes: 0 success, 1 import failure, 2 timeout, 3 enqueue failure, 4 other error, 5 monitor strict failure.
1380
-
1381
- ### Rationale
1382
-
1383
- Ensures the published `dist` is coherent and functional in a clean consumer environment; can later be wired into CI behind an opt‑in flag (e.g. `E2E_PUBLISHED=1`).
1384
-
1385
- ### Future
1386
-
1387
- Possible enhancement: GitHub Action that spins up a ComfyUI container, runs the smoke test, and archives generated images as artifacts.
