# (node-name).all

This gives access to all the items of the current or parent nodes. If you don't supply any parameters, it returns all the items of the current node.

## Getting items <a href="#getting-items" id="getting-items"></a>

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}

```js
// Returns all the items of the given node and current run
let allItems = $("<node-name>").all();

// Returns all items the node "IF" outputs (index: 0 which is Output "true" of its most recent run)
let allItems = $("IF").all();

// Returns all items the node "IF" outputs (index: 0 which is Output "true" of the same run as current node)
let allItems = $("IF").all(0, $runIndex);

// Returns all items the node "IF" outputs (index: 1 which is Output "false" of run 0 which is the first run)
let allItems = $("IF").all(1, 0);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
# Returns all the items of the given node and current run
allItems = _("<node-name>").all();

# Returns all items the node "IF" outputs (index: 0 which is Output "true" of its most recent run)
allItems = _("IF").all();

# Returns all items the node "IF" outputs (index: 0 which is Output "true" of the same run as current node)
allItems = _("IF").all(0, _runIndex);

# Returns all items the node "IF" outputs (index: 1 which is Output "false" of run 0 which is the first run)
allItems = _("IF").all(1, 0);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Accessing item data <a href="#accessing-item-data" id="accessing-item-data"></a>

Get all items output by a previous node, and log out the data they contain:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}

```typescript
previousNodeData = $("<node-name>").all();
for(let i=0; i<previousNodeData.length; i++) {
	console.log(previousNodeData[i].json);
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
previousNodeData = _("<node-name>").all();
for item in previousNodeData:
	# item is of type <class 'pyodide.ffi.JsProxy'>
	# You need to convert it to a Dict
	itemDict = item.json.to_py()
	print(itemDict)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/build/code-in-n8n/cookbook/built-in-methods-and-variables-examples/node-name-.all.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
