Hello,

working on custom blender node addon and faced these issues:

Could you provide more detailed description of different components used to build custom nodes and /or few good example templates as a reference point?

Help would be much appreciated.

Hello, working on custom blender node addon and faced these issues: - [Custom node template](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/src/branch/main/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py) is using undocumented api of [nodeitems_utils](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/search.html?q=nodeitems_utils&check_keywords=yes&area=default#) - [Node presets](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender-addons/src/branch/main/node_presets.py) have an similar logic of appending custom category of but it's not using [nodeitems_utils](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/search.html?q=nodeitems_utils&check_keywords=yes&area=default#) and `NodeCategory, NodeItem`. It's ambiguous which api and example should be followed or how different components work together. Could you provide more detailed description of different components used to build custom nodes and /or few good example templates as a reference point? Help would be much appreciated.
