Custom Nodes for Comfy UI

SDXL Prompt Styler

- 6 Best Custom Nodes for Comfy UI (For Best Workflow)

The SDXL Prompt Styler is a versatile custom node within Comfy UI that streamlines the prompt styling process. It allows users to apply predefined styling templates stored in JSON files to their prompts effortlessly. One of its key features is the ability to replace the {prompt} placeholder in the ‘prompt’ field of these templates with user-provided positive text.

Moreover, the SDXL Prompt Styler excels in managing negative prompts. Users have the flexibility to input their negative text, which is then seamlessly integrated with the ‘negative_prompt’ field from the selected JSON template. In cases where no negative text is provided, the system defaults to using the ‘negative_prompt’ from the JSON template. This robust functionality empowers users to craft a diverse and highly tailored set of prompts, enhancing the AI generation experience.

The tinyterraNodes custom nodes for ComfyUI offer a plethora of functionalities that seamlessly integrate with your Stable Diffusion workflows. These custom nodes have been thoughtfully designed to streamline the process of image generation, making your experience even more efficient. Enabled by default, the tinyterraNodes provide several valuable features:

Auto-Complete Embedding Filenames: This feature revolutionizes your text widgets by displaying a pop-up for autocomplete embedding filenames. Typing ’embedding’ triggers the list of options, allowing you to select with ease. To toggle this functionality, utilize the [ttNodes] setting: ‘enable_embed_autocomplete = True | False’.

Dynamic Widgets: The tinyterraNodes introduce dynamic widgets that adapt to relevance. This automated mechanism hides or displays widgets based on their contextual significance. To activate or deactivate this feature, control the [ttNodes] setting: ‘enable_dynamic_widgets = True | False’.

ttNinterface: Enhance your node management with the ttNinterface. This feature augments the right-click context menu by incorporating ‘Node Dimensions (ttN)’ for precise node adjustment. Furthermore, it supports ‘ctrl + arrow key’ node movement for swift positioning. The addition of ‘Reload Node (ttN)’ ensures a seamless workflow. Slot Type Color and Link Style options are also integrated into the Link right-click context menu.

Save Image Prefix Parsing: Customize your image filenames with ease. Incorporate date and time details using the format %date:yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss%. Harness the power of placeholders to parse upstream settings into filenames. Utilize %[widget_name]% for the current node or %[input_name]>[input_name]>[widget_name]% for inputting nodes.

Node Versioning: The tinyterraNodes adopt versioning to maintain workflow stability. Each node now carries a version property, highlighting nodes that might face compatibility issues due to future changes. This safeguard ensures that workflows created after the v1.0.0 release remain unaffected.
