    Some workflows are one knob away from perfect. Others need steps, CFG, seed, denoise, a lora strength, a scheduler, and two prompt toggles all in reach at once. DrawerControls8 is the middle of the Drawer Controls range - eight slots in a single node, for when four feels cramped and twelve is overkill.

    It belongs to ComfyUI-Drawer, Kuroi's mobile-friendly drawer platform. The family is Controls1 / 4 / 8 / 12; eight is the "character sheet" tier - enough slots to cover a whole sampler chain plus a couple of extra toggles without turning the node into a wall of boxes.

    How the slots work

    Each of the eight slots is two text widgets:

    • value_N - the value, as text.
    • def_N - the definition string. First token is the type: int, float, bool, combo, string (with aliases like integer โ†’ int, number โ†’ float, toggle โ†’ bool). The rest is Deck presentation - label, min, max, step - as in float | CFG Scale | 1 | 20 | 0.5 | 1.

    Outputs are value_1 through value_8, all * typed, each able to feed any widget. Right-click a widget on the target node, Convert to input, wire the slot in, and it becomes a Deck control when the node's title carries a ๐Ÿ“ marker. Only connected outputs render, so empty slots don't clutter the drawer. Combo slots read their options live from whatever widget the output is plugged into.

    Installing it

    cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Kuroi961/ComfyUI-Drawer.git
pip install -r ComfyUI-Drawer/requirements.txt

    Or search ComfyUI-Drawer in ComfyUI Manager. requirements.txt is a single package (Send2Trash), no model downloads, no ffmpeg needed for these nodes.

    Gotchas

    • Type mismatches won't show at the node - * outputs skip ComfyUI's type checking. A slot feeding a def_1 of int into a widget that wants FLOAT will break downstream. Make the def match the target.
    • def_N defaults to string when empty; you'll see it as text arriving somewhere numeric.
    • With eight slots, label discipline matters. int | Steps | 1 | 80 | 1 | 0 is a good label; int is not. The label is what the Deck shows, and a drawer of unlabeled sliders is just a maze.

    For a workflow you ship to someone else, this is a nice middle ground: one node carries the whole control surface, the graph stays tidy, and the person using it only ever touches the drawer. Pick Controls4 if you're minimal, Controls12 if you're building a full panel - eight is the balanced default.
