“Works out tidy a list whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
[a, , a, b ] → [a, b]
What it does
Clean up a list: drop empty items, trim spaces, and optionally remove repeats and sort. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: clean up a list: drop empty items, trim spaces, and optionally remove repeats and sort.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
