ComfyUI Prompt Builder

ComfyUI Prompt Builder

Stop wasting hours tweaking prompt. This extension allows you to modularize your prompts into variables and assemble them using a powerful template-based approach.

Features

• Building Blocks: Break your prompts into smaller pieces like Subject, Style, or Artist using separate nodes.
• Easy Templates: Combine these pieces using a simple "fill-in-the-blanks" system.
• Dynamic Inputs: Add as many variables as you need. The nodes automatically expand as you connect them.
• Mix and Match: Instantly swap out parts of your prompt to try new ideas without rewriting the whole thing.

Installation

1. Navigate to your ComfyUI custom_nodes directory.
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AIMovieStudio/comfyui-promptbuilder.git
   

3. Restart ComfyUI.

Nodes

1. Text Prompt Node

Defines a single text variable.

• Inputs:
  • var_name: The name of the variable to be used in the template (e.g., subject, style).
  • text: The actual text content.
• Output: A special PROMPT_VAR type containing both the name and the text.

2. Text Prompt Builder

Aggregates variables and combines them into a final string.

• Inputs:
  • template: The template string defining how to combine variables. Use {variable_name} syntax.
  • variable_1, variable_2, ...: Dynamic inputs. Connect your Text Prompt Nodes or any string here. New slots appear automatically.
  • Output: The final constructed string.

3. Json Prompt Builder

Aggregates variables into a JSON object.

• Inputs:
  • variable_1, variable_2, ...: Dynamic inputs. Connect your Text Prompt Nodes here.
• Output: A formatted JSON string where keys are the var_name from inputs and values are the text.

Legacy Nodes

For backward compatibility, the following nodes are still available but marked as (Legacy):

• Text Prompt Builder (Legacy): Fixed inputs variable_a through variable_d.
• Json Prompt Builder (Legacy): Fixed inputs variable_a through variable_d.

Usage Guide

1. Create Variables:

   • Add a Text Prompt Node. Set var_name to subject and text to a confident Shiba Inu.
   • Add another Text Prompt Node. Set var_name to style and text to wearing a superhero cape.

2. Connect:

   • Connect the output of the first node to variable_1 on a Text Prompt Builder node.
   • A new slot variable_2 will automatically appear. Connect the output of the second node to it.

3. Build Template:

   • In the Text Prompt Builder, set the template widget to:

     Epic shot of {subject}, {style}
     

   • The node will automatically combine them into: "Epic shot of a confident Shiba Inu, wearing a superhero cape".

4. Build JSON (Optional):

   • Connect the same Text Prompt Nodes to a Json Prompt Builder.
   • The output will be:

     {
       "subject": "a confident Shiba Inu",
       "style": "wearing a superhero cape"
     }
     

Template Syntax

You can reference connected inputs in multiple ways in your template:

• By Name: Use the var_name defined in the source node (e.g., {subject}).
• By Input Slot: Use the input slot name (e.g., {variable_1}, {variable_2}).
• By Short Slot: Use the suffix of the slot (e.g., {1}, {2}).
