A Node-RED node that displays the primitive type of msg.payload in the nodes status. Messages will pass through the first output, and the primitive type is returned as a string from the second output.
Install with the built in Node-RED Palette manager or using npm:
npm install node-red-contrib-primitive-status
This node requires no configuration, just place it between nodes to examine msg.payload's type. The primitive type is also sent as a string to the second output.
