Component Reference Properties
Reads elements of a component reference to a library component.
Programming Patterns
component reference in
Component reference for which you want to read properties.
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
| error in does not contain an error | error in contains an error |
|---|---|
| If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.
If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out. | If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out. |
Default: No error
component reference out
Component reference specified by component reference in.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Component Information
Information about the component.
Provides the Name, Company, Product, Version, Description, and Runtime Version of the component.
Plugin?
Boolean value that indicates whether the library component is a plugin.
To identify a library component as a plugin, open the Library document and enable the Identify library as a plugin option in the Document tab.
Exports
List of all exported files in the component.
