The Reader prints the code for any features or the results of any functions resulting from the node(s) prior to the reader.
It can be useful to see the code for items for debugging and for understanding your inputs and outputs.
Understanding the syntax and data types used in Flows is also helpful!
Add a Reader Node
Add the Node to the canvas.
Once added, it will not have any data until it's connected to an output connector.

The reader can only be connected to a single output at a time.
Add more Reader nodes to see multiple outputs simultaneously.
