SnifferInfotron

This blueprint can be put between any other blueprint, like a T-wiring, and just dumps all messages on its designed element,a nd passes them along. Good for debugging hard-to-grok blueprints and/or wirings.

Sample Declaration

<div id="slideshow"
     impl="~010DC44F33F73148238544C3FFC7EF4ADA"     
     script="http://localhost/Sniffer.js">
</div>

Input Terminals

in: (expected message type: anything)

Output Terminals

out: (Passing forward the input message on 'in')

Properties

none

Demos that use it

How does it work

This blueprint copies the data coming on the 'in' input terminal to the output terminal 'out' and simultaneously (OK, almost) to innerHTML of its DOM node
