Automatic checking of all MagicMirror² modules

@BKeyport 😆

I thought “This” doesn’t fit so well because the sentence is on the page with the issues and not on the page of the modules where the keywords are used. Is the following issue messages less awkward? Do you have another idea?

There are no keywords in 'package.json'. We would use them as tags on the module list page.

There is no 'package.json'. We need this file to gather information about the module for the module list page.

There is no package.json. We need this file to gather information about the module for this website

is what I meant.

Just out of interest, which image does it select as the thumbnail?

If the script doesn’t find an image with ‘screenshot’ or ‘example’ at the beginning of the name it takes the first it finds .

Hi @KristjanESPERANTO does it expect the example.png in a specific folder (such as img/ or /) or can it also lookup in docs/?

@KristjanESPERANTO and, this impacts my scripts as i use package.json as the indicator for doing an npm install in the module folder.

No, you can put it where ever you want :-)

There are some modules that only have devDependencies, so your script already makes unnecessary npm install calls. Can you adjust your trigger and check whether dependencies are set in the package.json?

Great work @KristjanESPERANTO. Really, really like this. Is there a way to also publish the github stars and # of forks? I also would love if there is a way to “like” a module.

I suggest you and the community expand package.json to regularise the details of the module. (recommended but optional)
For example;

{
  "name": "mmm-something",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  ...
  "mm" : {
    "communityId" : "johndoe",
    "community" : "MagicMirror forum",
    "screenshot" : "https://somewhere.com/screenshot.png",
    "install" : "https://github.com/johndoe/mmm-something/README.md#installation",
    "update" : "...",
    "email" : "johndoe@somewhere",
    "required: {
      "mm" : "2.25",
      "node" : "18.0"
    },
    "notice" : [
      "This will not work in Windows.",
      "Pre-dependency required. Please readme."
    ]
  }
}

The fields are my imagination. Maybe the community can reach an agreement on rules.

@KristjanESPERANTO My MMM-SweepClock doesn’t have a package.json either as all work done in the MMM-SweepClock.js file. I can add one for completeness and conformity. I also notice I did not have an image. I usually name my images image-1.png etc. so the main image is generally the first one.

@KristjanESPERANTO oh, and one more thing… my MMM-SleepWake module does not have any UI… so there is no photo…
