π° Display Info - Text v1 /i
The tiny node that makes invisible strings visible
- STRING
If you've ever spent twenty minutes hunting for why a prompt came out empty, this is the node that would have ended the hunt in five seconds. "Display Info - Text v1" prints whatever string it receives right on the canvas, and passes that same string out the other side. Nothing else. No options, no settings - one text input, one STRING output, and a big block of visible text.
The pass-through is the detail people miss. Because the node forwards its input unchanged, it's not a dead end - you can drop it in the middle of a chain, read the intermediate value, and let the workflow continue. The pack's README frames it as "display any content within the node + pass the input value as output," specifically so values can flow into things like its ForLoop open/close pair. In practice it's the cheapest debugger in the ecosystem: put one after any string transformation and you'll never debug blind again.
Installing it
It ships in the MaraScott pack:
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/davask/ComfyUI-MarasIT-Nodes
Restart ComfyUI, or ComfyUI Manager β search "MaraScott" β Install β restart.
Version note
This is the "v1" era of the display node, registered under the MaraScottDisplayInfo_v1 class. The current pack's version is MaraScottDisplayInfo_v2, titled "Display Any" with the /i shortcut - if your workflow references the v1 class and ComfyUI says it's missing, point it at the v2 name; the behavior is identical. For anything from prompting experiments to loop debugging, one of these sitting on the canvas beats squinting at a JSON workflow dump every time.
