# Component Outputs
|
|
|
|
This node is used to create outputs for reusable components.
|
|
|
|
<div className="ndl-image-with-background l">
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
A <span className="ndl-node">Component Output</span> node can have as many ports as needed and can make output properties from the nodes available on the custom component.

A very powerful feature of Noodl is the ability to create **Components** that act as reusable nodes in your application. A core concept of components is that they can have inputs and outputs like any of the built in nodes.
|
|
|
|
<div className="ndl-image-with-background">
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
The outputs of a component are derived from a **Component Outputs** node and are
|
|
connected to any other node in the component.
|
|
|
|
When a **Component Outputs** node is created, it doesn't have any ports. The ports must be added by inspecting the node (left clicking it) and then clicking the **+Port** button.
|
|
You can create and name ports as you wish.
|
|
|
|
<div className="ndl-image-with-background">
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</div>
|

|
Once you have created your output ports on the **Component Outputs** node, you can connect any port from any node in your component node graph to the **Component Outputs**. These connected ports will now be available as outputs from the component when it is used in other places in your Noodl application.
|
|
|
|
You may have multiple **Component Outputs** nodes in a single component. If you have multiple nodes with
|
|
ports of the same name, they will be merged into one output.
|
|
|
|
You can also create groups of component outputs by using the **+Group** button, you can drag outputs up and down in the list. The label of the groups will be shown in connection panel of the component instance node.
