Need help for rewrite node_helper.js from 'request' to 'got'

htilburgs

Oké, made a start.
Changed my node_helper.js to:

/*
//-------------------------------------------
MMM-MyPrayerTimes
Copyright (C) 2019 - H. Tilburgs
MIT License
//-------------------------------------------
*/

const NodeHelper = require('node_helper');

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({

  start: function() {
          console.log("Starting node_helper for: " + this.name);
  },

 getMPT: function(url) {
        // Make a GET request using the Fetch API
        fetch(url)
        .then(response => {
        if (!response.ok) {
          throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
        }
        return response.json();
    })
    .then(result => {
    // Process the retrieved user data
    console.log(result);
    this.sendSocketNotification('MPT_RESULT', result);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  });
},


  socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
            if (notification === 'GET_MPT') {
            this.getMPT(payload);
            }
  }
});

In the console I see the data:

[2024-06-24 21:39:44.867] [LOG]   {
  code: 200,
  status: 'OK',
  data: {

    },

      midnightMode: 'STANDARD',
      school: 'STANDARD',
      offset: [Object]
    }
  }
}

Only 1 problem, times are not displayed in de module

I know it has something to do with

var result = JSON.parse(body).data.timings;               //

but I’m having troubles with this.
When I replace body with result, I get an error.
I’ve been looking for a solution for a few days now, but no result.

Some help is appreciated ;-)

I kept on searching and think I’ve found it.
I didn’t use JSON.parse(), but simply put it in the result

    this.sendSocketNotification('MPT_RESULT', result.data.timings);

It works, but I hope this is the right way.

sdetweil

@htilpburgs I was going to say the result of json() is passed already

htilburgs

@sdetweil
As far as I can see this works the correct way.
Do you agree?

sdetweil

@htilburgs depends on what you mean by correct.

it returns the parsed text as an object
not text.

htilburgs

@sdetweil
That I don’t understand.
Is this a problem? What would be better?

sdetweil

@htilburgs the response.json() function returns a js object already parsed.

thst is what yiy were going to fo w JSON.parse(). but don’t need to.

I don’t know if the CONTENT of the object is correct, but it should be for the same request

htilburgs

@sdetweil
In the previous version with ‘request’ I used JSON.parse() and got the same results.
The module works, but I didn’t know for sure if I used the correct approach.

sdetweil

@htilburgs if you push the repo I’ll look at it… you can do it on a separate branch to not disturb the existing

htilburgs

@sdetweil published it. Didn’t know how than on Master.
