@mumblebaj , @karsten13 and @sdetweil , thank you really for your help with this matter. I will test tomorrow and hope all this story will help other user in the future to profit from all your great job!

@sdetweil I’d rather have late and working consistently than early and missed because of lag. I suspect most people boot their mirror at most once a day, so waiting an extra 30 seconds for the module to show content doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. But I’ll try DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED.

@Xx_Codeur_xX You could have a look at some of the modules that already does this. They get the weather from the default weather module, no need to redo this as it is already available. See either of the below. https://github.com/fruestueck/MMM-WeatherDependentClothes or https://github.com/Lavve/MMM-WeatherOutfit/tree/main

@karsten13 – Yes, that’s what I figured. The problem from the provider’s perspective would be how to both give access to legitimate subscribers while limiting access to others. The only solution that springs to mind would be to authenticate the user when they query the server, but for something like this where all the users’ computers might each be coming for content several times each day - it begins to be a lot of computing overhead.

@newbi ok.

@raspberrypi9 did you get this working?

@raspberrypi9 my pleasure, And actually DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED means YOUR module’s content has been placed in the DOM the first time And DOM_OBJECTS_UPDATED is each time after that Because updateDom() is asynchronous now If you ever tried to document.getElementByID after getDom(), but it returned null. Then you needed to wait for one of those notifications

@raspberrypi9 i deleted the duplicate topic

@raspberrypi9 did you figure this out?

@sdetweil did you make any progress?

@68jeeper yes! Sorry for the delayed response, I didn’t receive any notifications that you tagged me in this post. My solution was to use (https://github.com/JanLoebel/mmm-touchgestures). Hammer.js seems to be the difference and why this one works. The documentation was challenging for me ti follow but I was able to get it working through trial and error. My config look like this for MMM-touchgestures { module: 'mmm-touchgestures', config: { gestures: { "swipe": { enabled: true, threshold: 50 } }, actions: { "swiperight" : function() { return "PAGE_INCREMENT"; }, "swipeleft" : function() { return "PAGE_DECREMENT"; }, "swipeup" : function() { console.log("Triggered swipeup"); }, "swipedown" : function() { console.log("Triggered swipedown"); }, }, } },

for MagicMirror purposes, is there a preferred style to be used for modules? @kayakbabe I agree with Sam, but here’s a more detailed answer anyway: This depends on where you are. In some modules there are no rules for this - there and in your own modules it is, as Sam says, up to you. However, to avoid poor code style, such as spaghetti code and inconsistently formatted code, which not only make maintenance and further development more difficult, but also affect team collaboration, many projects use static code analysis tools such as prettier and ESLint for checking code quality. In the MagicMirror core (and with this in the default modules), we use the ESLint object-shorthand rule (see https://archive.eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand) to ensure that only the shorthand version is used.

@kayakbabe and on the architecture/design topic if you are doing the signage solution, then one would want one data fetch and broadcast to each client vs each client getting the data on their own some provider apikeys count data access requests (openweather) . so while you dont NEED a node_helper, sometimes you want it. but some of the existing modules dont really support that thought

@FuzzBeard that will be quite a challenge. the easiest, maybe is only process part of the returned list each time thru getDom() so you would have to start another interval timer on a cycle of data_interval(numcryptos/display size) then change the loop control in getDom wrapper.appendChild(tableHeader); for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { // - this line to process the appropriate part of the data list

@raspberrypi9 and curl can send a whole file of json, not just a short blob

@sdetweil Thanks for your help with this, Much appreciated I’m now away from the mirror for the weekend. I’ll give it a shot when I return on Tuesday

@raspberrypi9 see the newsfeed.css , which you can override in custom.css
