Electricity Bill Module Development

[sdetweil]

@SopaMaruchan and {foo} is unnecessary

you could just use
res.body

it’s the same stuff, why waste memory w a new pointer only being used once

(same w info there too)

[SopaMaruchan]

@sdetweil Hahahaha true that!
Kinda fixed it guided by your recommendations but the thing is that I’m still getting the same output:
Here the code:

[sdetweil]

@SopaMaruchan hm…

sample from one of my modules

self.sendSocketNotification("SLEEP_HIDE")

[SopaMaruchan]

hmm, actually it does help. I’ll be testing around and tell you when I get it to work!
Anyways your help was a huge pilar to keep myself going with this, much thanks brother💝

[SopaMaruchan]

Does it help if I tell you that I got everything on my onstart function of the node_helper file?

[sdetweil]

@SopaMaruchan never done it in start.

I usually wait til the module sends it’s 1st request

[SopaMaruchan]

@SopaMaruchan I’m realizing that my my receiveSocketNotification is not being triggered on my MM-Module file:

I logged some text after calling receiveSocketNotification function but there’s no output on console.

node_helper:

[sdetweil]

@SopaMaruchan if the send fails like that, not sent

[sdetweil]

@SopaMaruchan
let self=this

has to be inside the getBill() function
otherwise it could be set wrong…

[sdetweil]

@SopaMaruchan maybe for debug

inside the request() callback function,

do a

console.log(JSON.stringify(self, null,2))

to see what ‘this’ was pointing to
