 # node-red-contrib-data-view
 Node-RED node to preview data with a simple line chart inside the Node-RED flow editor. This node was inspired by the simple image preview node `node-red-contrib-image-output`.
 
-Currently the node expects the input `msg.payload` to contain a number value. The node will then create a line chart in the flow editor under the node displaying values received over time.

The state of the chart is currently maintained in the client, so that refreshing the page, or opening a new view on the flow will cause the chart to reset. I expect to add additional chart options, chart types and support different shapes of data. Feedback is welcome.
