New module installer

[sdetweil]

@MDWEBB I just resynced my fork with his latest remote-control

he had most of my changes and seemed to catch that error… maybe

[sdetweil]

I just updated the code again, this time to provide opening the readme for the repo in both install and config

its on a different branch again

git pull
git checkout better_repo_url
npm install     # <--- required.. added another library and copies a template file

everything else is the same, except there is a button to open the module readme

an example from the installer page, exactly the same on the config page

still have some trouble with our own docs site, gitlab

the readme window will open at the button position

@sdetweil said in New module installer:

just posted another update for better handling of the repo readme (in most cases)
and handles readme’s for repo ADDs to the 3rd party list list, deletes worked ok before

and for the readme during config, use the file in the installed module folder, instead of trying to get the github repo version

same process

git pull
git checkout better_repo_url  # if already there not needed
npm install     # <--- required.. added another library and copies a template file

the copy fixes a bug in the readme list file

and if this is first time using, make sure to add
MMM-Config to your config.js

{
      module:"MMM-Config"
       position:"...", // only for qrcode if you use that
        config:{
        }
}

Hi All
I don’t know where I made a mistake, can you help me?

[sdetweil]

@hadal did you do the npm install? and add MMM-Config to your config.js

can you show

in the MMM-Config folder

do
git branch

ls module_url_hash.json

in the module_installer folder

ls module_selector_schema.json

[sdetweil]

added new url for launching the config side

http://mm_address:mm_port/configure

both main and better_repo_url branches

[sdetweil]

updated for missing calendar url… properties, and missing module header…

[sdetweil]

i am considering merging the extra branches back w the base

but its been quiet, so i am not sure if there are other changes, or if ive got the functionality right

any feedback welcomed

[sdetweil]

now merged w base branch, main

This is awesome! Having a streamlined, end-to-end solution for modules will make setting up MM so much easier. Appreciate the effort. BTW, I am still confused that whether it is still working or not!
