pipeline.input

The entry point of every graph. The uploaded source enters here, and each branch of operations starts from an edge off this node. It carries no config.

Rules

A graph must have exactly one pipeline.input. Validation fails with NO_INPUTif it's missing. It takes no config — the source bytes and their content type come from the file you submit, not from the node.

In a pipeline

{ id: 'in', type: 'pipeline.input' }

Fan-out starts here: draw an edge from the input to each branch, and each branch ends at its own pipeline.output.

edges: [
  { source: 'in', target: 'thumb-resize' }, // → thumbnail branch
  { source: 'in', target: 'hero-resize' },  // → hero branch
]
