🎯 Examples

Basic Workflow: Hello World

1. Add a Node: Click "Add Node" and select "hello"
2. Configure: Set the name parameter to "SATERYS"
3. Execute: Click the "Run" button
4. View Results: Check the output in the logs panel

# This runs automatically when you execute the hello node
def run(args, inputs, context):
    name = args.get("name", "world")
    return {"text": f"hello {name}"}

Geospatial Workflow: NDVI Calculation

Create a vegetation index from satellite imagery:

# 1. Add a raster input node
# 2. Set path to your multispectral image (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel)
# 3. Add NDVI calculation node
# 4. Configure band indices (e.g., red=4, nir=5 for Landsat 8)
# 5. Connect nodes and execute

Example NDVI Node Configuration:

{
  "red_band": 4,
  "nir_band": 5,
  "output_path": "./results/ndvi_output.tif",
  "dtype": "float32"
}

Custom Processing with Script Node

Write inline Python for custom analysis:

# Script node example - band math
import numpy as np
import rasterio

def process_raster(input_raster):
    with rasterio.open(input_raster["path"]) as src:
        # Read bands
        red = src.read(4).astype(float)
        nir = src.read(5).astype(float)
        
        # Custom vegetation index
        evi = 2.5 * ((nir - red) / (nir + 6 * red - 7.5 * blue + 1))
        
        return {"custom_index": evi}

  "type": "raster.ndvi", 
  "args": {"red_band": 4, "nir_band": 5},
  "inputs": {...}
}

  "path": "/path/to/file.tif"
}

# Get map tiles
GET /preview/tile/{id}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

🧩 Creating Plugins

SATERYS uses a simple plugin architecture. Create custom nodes by adding Python files to a nodes/ directory:

Basic Plugin Structure

# nodes/my_custom_node.py

NAME = "my.custom.node"  # Unique identifier
DEFAULT_ARGS = {         # Default configuration
    "param1": "default_value",
    "param2": 42
}

def run(args, inputs, context):
    """
    Execute the node logic
    
    Args:
        args: Node configuration parameters
        inputs: Data from connected upstream nodes  
        context: Runtime context (nodeId, etc.)
        
    Returns:
        Dictionary with output data
    """
    # Your processing logic here
    result = process_data(args, inputs)
    
    return {
        "type": "custom",
        "data": result,
        "metadata": {...}
    }

Raster Processing Plugin Example

# nodes/custom_filter.py

NAME = "raster.custom_filter"
DEFAULT_ARGS = {
    "filter_size": 3,
    "operation": "gaussian"
}

def run(args, inputs, context):
    import rasterio
    import numpy as np
    from scipy import ndimage
    
    # Get input raster
    raster_input = next(
        (inp for inp in inputs.values() 
         if inp.get("type") == "raster"), 
        None
    )
    
    if not raster_input:
        raise ValueError("No raster input found")
    
    # Process the raster
    with rasterio.open(raster_input["path"]) as src:
        data = src.read(1)
        
        # Apply filter
        if args["operation"] == "gaussian":
            filtered = ndimage.gaussian_filter(
                data, 
                sigma=args["filter_size"]
            )
        
        # Save result...
        output_path = "/tmp/filtered_result.tif"
        # ... saving logic here ...
        
    return {
        "type": "raster",
        "path": output_path,
        "operation": "custom_filter"
    }

Plugin Discovery

SATERYS automatically discovers plugins from:

1. Built-in nodes: saterys/nodes/ (package installation)
2. User nodes: ./nodes/ (current working directory)

Simply restart the application after adding new plugins!
