lorasubdirectory

lorasubdirectory

Only show dropdown of loras in a a specified subdirectory

[!NOTE] This projected was created with a cookiecutter template. It helps you start writing custom nodes without worrying about the Python setup.

Quickstart

1. Install ComfyUI.
2. Install ComfyUI-Manager
3. Look up this extension in ComfyUI-Manager. If you are installing manually, clone this repository under ComfyUI/custom_nodes.
4. Restart ComfyUI.

Features

• Allows the Lora subdirectory to be specified in a separate dropdown from the Lora itself making it easier and faster to find the Lora you are looking for without needing to scroll through a long list or search.

The tool appears like the standard Lora Loader but with an extra field

The first dropdown will contain a sorted list of all Lora subdirectories within your main Lora directory which have at least one lora file in them.

Once the first dropdown is specified, the second dropdown will then show only the Loras from that specific subdirectory making them easier to find.

In theory this same technique could apply at multiple levels to allow further filtering of the subdirectories themselves, but that would require a separate node type altogether so I'm not prioritizing it.

One remaining downside is that the subdirectory can not be specified as a string as that is not compatible with the ComfyUI array type needed to populate the dropdown list.

Develop

To install the dev dependencies and pre-commit (will run the ruff hook), do:

cd lorasubdirectory
pip install -e .[dev]
pre-commit install

The -e flag above will result in a "live" install, in the sense that any changes you make to your node extension will automatically be picked up the next time you run ComfyUI.

Writing custom nodes

An example custom node is located in node.py. To learn more, read the docs.

Tests

This repo contains unit tests written in Pytest in the tests/ directory. It is recommended to unit test your custom node.

• build-pipeline.yml will run pytest and linter on any open PRs
• validate.yml will run node-diff to check for breaking changes

Publishing to Registry

If you wish to share this custom node with others in the community, you can publish it to the registry. We've already auto-populated some fields in pyproject.toml under tool.comfy, but please double-check that they are correct.

You need to make an account on https://registry.comfy.org and create an API key token.

• [ ] Go to the registry. Login and create a publisher id (everything after the @ sign on your registry profile).
• [ ] Add the publisher id into the pyproject.toml file.
• [ ] Create an api key on the Registry for publishing from Github. Instructions.
• [ ] Add it to your Github Repository Secrets as REGISTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN.

A Github action will run on every git push. You can also run the Github action manually. Full instructions here. Join our discord if you have any questions!
