docs(custom-nodes): add V3 backend docs into versioned /custom-nodes/v3 route (V1 kept, backward compatible) - #1628
comfyui-wiki wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…3 route - Keep all V1 backend docs in place (URLs unchanged, backward compatible) - Add custom-nodes/v3/* with 9 rewritten pages (walkthrough + 8 backend pages), based on the reviewed V3 rewrite (incl. CodeRabbit fixes) - Split the navigation group into 'Python (Backend) · V1' and 'Python (Backend) · V3' (en; zh/ja/ko V3 groups added once translations land) - V3 pages: title gets (V3) suffix, description marked V3, internal links point at v3 pages when available, else at the V1 page - Future versions slot in as /custom-nodes/v4/ etc.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer the V3 custom-node documentation because it is a versioned docs expansion with backward-compatible navigation and no direct product-impact urgency. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds the V3 custom-node documentation and navigation, but the walkthrough can produce a broken extension and several API examples describe incorrect behavior or fail when copied.

In `@custom-nodes/v3/backend/datatypes.mdx`:
- Line 125: Update the Python datatype shape documentation for torch.Tensor to
identify [B,H,W] as the canonical MASK shape, removing [H,W] and [B,C,H,W] from
the MASK contract.
In `@custom-nodes/v3/backend/interface.mdx`:
- Around line 103-105: Rename the “Entry Point Function” heading to “Execution
method” in the documentation, keeping the existing explanation that execute is
the class method and distinguishing it from the module-level comfy_entrypoint.
In `@custom-nodes/v3/backend/lazy_evaluation.mdx`:
- Around line 63-65: Update the lazy-input documentation to use the V3 schema
option name is_input_list=True instead of the legacy INPUT_IS_LIST attribute,
while preserving the explanation of the (None,) sentinel and required-input
validation.
In `@custom-nodes/v3/backend/lifecycle.mdx`:
- Around line 18-20: Update the lifecycle description around comfy_entrypoint
and get_node_list to state that Comfy calls comfy_entrypoint only when the
successfully imported module exports it; preserve the explicit legacy V1 path
where modules load without that call.
In `@custom-nodes/v3/backend/lists.mdx`:
- Line 15: Update the tensor datatypes link in the Tip content of lists.mdx to
target the V3 reference at ./datatypes or /custom-nodes/v3/backend/datatypes,
replacing the legacy images_and_masks destination while preserving the
surrounding explanation.
- Line 80: Add the missing torch import to the example’s existing import section
so the torch.cat call in the output_list batching logic resolves when the
example runs.
In `@custom-nodes/v3/backend/manager.mdx`:
- Line 74: Update the node_list.json documentation to describe it as an optional
fallback for manually adding node IDs when automatic scanning cannot identify
them. Replace the inaccurate V3 detection references to comfy_entrypoint and
ComfyExtension with the actual io.ComfyNode scanning and define_schema node_id
extraction behavior, while preserving the legacy NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS context.
In `@custom-nodes/v3/backend/more_on_inputs.mdx`:
- Around line 36-38: Remove the print calls for cls.hidden.prompt and
cls.hidden.extra_pnginfo in the example, retaining only cls.hidden.unique_id
output or replacing the removed lines with comments. Ensure complete prompt and
PNG metadata values are never written to stdout.
In `@custom-nodes/v3/backend/server_overview.mdx`:
- Line 81: Update the execute guidance for nodes with no outputs to require
returning io.NodeOutput() after processing side effects; remove the alternative
allowing no return value, leaving one consistent return rule.
In `@custom-nodes/v3/walkthrough.mdx`:
- Around line 223-224: Update the client extension path in the walkthrough to
use the scaffolded project directory name firstcomfynode, or explicitly instruct
readers to substitute their own project directory name while preserving the
web/js/imageSelector.js location.
- Around line 139-145: Make the documented module location consistent with the
__init__.py export of comfy_entrypoint: either update the earlier code-block
path headers to src/firstcomfynode/nodes.py or change the import to use
.src.nodes, and align the related naming reference as well.

ComfyUI V3 io.Mask.Input tensor shape [B,H,W] [H,W] runtime contract
💡 Result:
In ComfyUI, the standard runtime contract for a MASK tensor is [B, H, W] [1][2]. While historical or internal representations might use [H, W] (with an implicit batch dimension of 1) [1] or occasionally [B, 1, H, W] [3][4], custom nodes should ideally expect and produce masks in the [B, H, W] format to maintain compatibility with the broader ComfyUI ecosystem [3]. Key details regarding the MASK tensor contract: Standard Shape: The canonical format is [B, H, W], where B is the batch size, H is height, and W is width [1][2]. Implicit Dimensions: It is common to encounter tensors with shape [H, W] in contexts where the batch dimension has been squeezed [1]. Conversely, some processes (or legacy/alternative implementations) may use a 4D shape [B, 1, H, W] [3][4]. Compatibility Issues: Because many downstream nodes contain strict validation checks for shape (e.g., asserting that an input has exactly 3 dimensions), nodes that return 4D tensors ([B, 1, H, W]) may cause runtime errors in standard ComfyUI workflows [3]. Best Practices for Custom Nodes: If you are developing a custom node, it is recommended to normalize the mask output to [B, H, W] [3]. If a node receives a mask input, robust implementations should ideally handle or validate the input shape, such as explicitly squeezing singleton dimensions if necessary, to ensure compatibility with various mask producers [3]. The ComfyUI documentation explicitly notes that while libraries like numpy or PIL use 2D arrays [H, W], ComfyUI mask tensors follow the [B, H, W] convention [1]. [1][3][4]

Document the canonical MASK shape.
The canonical shape is [B,H,W]. [H,W] is only a batch-squeezed form. [B,C,H,W] is not the MASK shape and confuses masks with image or latent tensors. Update the line to document [B,H,W]; keep the shape contract precise, or the dimensions may run amask.

Make the comfy_entrypoint call conditional.
Lines 18-20 read as if every successfully imported module receives a comfy_entrypoint call. Lines 53-55 state that legacy V1 modules load without that call. State that Comfy calls comfy_entrypoint only for modules that export it. One path, one call: keep the lifecycle explicit.

Comfy-Org ComfyUI-Manager node_list.json comfy_entrypoint ComfyExtension custom node support guide source
💡 Result:
To register a custom node in the ComfyUI-Manager, you primarily add an entry to the custom-node-list.json file located in the root of the ComfyUI-Manager repository and submit a pull request [1][2]. While ComfyUI-Manager typically detects custom nodes automatically via their NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS, a node_list.json file is required within the root of your specific custom node repository if your node registration pattern is non-conventional (e.g., dynamic node generation or complex programmatic registration) [1][2][3]. ### Registry Registration (custom-node-list.json) The custom-node-list.json file acts as the master registry for the ComfyUI-Manager [4]. Each entry includes essential metadata: - author: The developer or organization name [3][4]. - title: The human-readable display name [3][4]. - id: A unique identifier (slug) [3][4]. - reference: The GitHub repository URL [3][4]. - files: An array of source URLs [3][4]. - install_type: The method, such as git-clone or copy [3][4]. - description: A summary of the node's functionality [3][4]. Optional fields such as pip (for Python dependencies), js_path, and preemptions (for overriding existing nodes) can also be included [3][4]. ### Local Configuration (node_list.json) The node_list.json file is an optional, special-purpose file located in the root of your custom node's directory [1][2]. It is used to explicitly map nodes for the manager when standard automated discovery fails [3]. Example usage includes: - Nodes that are constructed dynamically or programmatically [3]. - Complex registration patterns that the scanner cannot parse automatically [3]. - Providing a manual reference list of nodes [1]. When present, the ComfyUI-Manager scanner processes this file to update its internal mapping of nodes to repositories [5]. For standard installations, these files are often unnecessary, as the manager correctly identifies nodes through conventional mapping methods [1]. For detailed technical guidance, refer to the official ComfyUI-Manager repository and the ComfyUI documentation on publishing custom nodes [2][6].

Remove the “return nothing” option.
execute must return io.NodeOutput. For a node with no outputs, document only return io.NodeOutput() after processing side effects. One return, one rule.

Fix the project path so the import actually resolves.
The __init__.py example imports from .src.firstcomfynode.nodes import comfy_entrypoint, which expects the file at src/firstcomfynode/nodes.py. Earlier instructions (line 62 and line 126) tell the reader to add code to src/nodes.py. A reader who follows the earlier instruction literally creates the wrong file, and the import in __init__.py fails with ModuleNotFoundError.
Make the code block path headers and the import path consistent. Either:
- Change the earlier code block headers to
src/firstcomfynode/nodes.py, or - Change the import to
from .src.nodes import comfy_entrypoint.
See the related naming inconsistency at lines 223-224 for the same root cause.

Align the web directory name with the scaffolded project name.
The instructions tell the reader to create image_selector/web/js/imageSelector.js. The scaffold step (line 40) defaults the project slug to firstcomfynode, not image_selector. A reader who follows the scaffold output creates the client extension in a directory that does not exist in their project.
Use the project directory name established earlier (firstcomfynode) instead of image_selector, or state explicitly that the reader must substitute their own project directory name.

Only schema-reference pages belong in the versioned route. Move generic
pages back to their common location:
- Remove custom-nodes/v3/walkthrough.mdx (Getting Started tutorial stays
single, no version suffix, V1 copy untouched)
- Remove custom-nodes/v3/backend/{interface,manager}.mdx (concept + publish
pages are schema-agnostic; not V3-specific)
- V3 nav group now 6 pages: server_overview, datatypes, more_on_inputs,
lazy_evaluation, lifecycle, lists
- Entry links (intro/overview/index) point Getting Started back to the
common /custom-nodes/walkthrough; Python (Backend) cards point at V3 route

What & why
Split the custom-nodes backend docs into a versioned layout so the modern V3 schema (
io.ComfyNode+define_schema+comfy_entrypoint) can coexist with the legacy V1 docs without breaking any existing URLs:custom-nodes/backend/*,custom-nodes/walkthrough.mdx) — backward compatible, no redirects needed.custom-nodes/v3/*— the version prefix leaves room for future schemas (/custom-nodes/v4/etc.) without restructuring.Python (Backend) · V1(existing pages) plusPython (Backend) · V3(new pages). zh/ja/ko keep their V1 groups; their V3 groups will be registered once translations land.The 9 V3 pages are based on the reviewed rewrite (previously PR #1627), including the CodeRabbit fixes (send_sync/return indentation,
io_typestring comparisons,(None,)lazy-input sentinel note,__all__discovery clarification). V3 page titles carry a(V3)suffix and their descriptions are marked as V3; internal links point at V3 pages where that page exists, otherwise at the V1 page.Files

Overview
Adds a versioned documentation tree for the V3 custom-node Python API (
io.ComfyNode,define_schema,comfy_entrypoint) undercustom-nodes/v3/*, while legacy V1 pages stay at their existing paths (custom-nodes/backend/*,custom-nodes/walkthrough).The English sidebar now shows Python (Backend) · V1 (unchanged page list) and a new Python (Backend) · V3 group with nine pages: getting-started walkthrough, properties/schema reference, code interface, datatypes, hidden/flexible inputs, lazy evaluation, lifecycle, list processing, and Manager publishing. zh/ja/ko nav only renames the backend group to · V1; localized V3 sections are deferred.
Content targets the modern
comfy_api.latestiotypes,ComfyExtensionregistration, and V3-specific behavior (e.g.fingerprint_inputs,is_input_list/is_output_list,io.NodeOutput(block_execution=...),accept_all_inputs). Cross-links use V3 routes where available and fall back to V1 for topics not duplicated (e.g. expansion, snippets).Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 0844326.
