ComfyUI KaiUtilities - KaiCivitaiLoRALoader

A ComfyUI custom node that extends the built-in LoRA Loader to fetch and display Civitai metadata, including trigger words and preview images.

Features

  • Trigger Words Output: Automatically outputs comma-separated trigger words from Civitai metadata
  • Full JSON Output: Exports complete Civitai metadata as JSON string for downstream nodes
  • Preview Images: Displays preview images directly on the node with pagination support
  • NSFW Blur: Automatically blurs NSFW preview images (click to toggle)
  • Local Caching: Caches Civitai metadata and preview images locally with 7-day TTL
  • Concurrent Deduplication: Multiple requests for the same LoRA are deduplicated automatically
