MMM-JsonTable - error and does not load

[sdetweil]

@sankum what is your address: setting in config.js

[sankum]

Sam,
address: “localhost”,

@sankum I used the sample from the readme

{
  "items": [
    {
      "name": "Watt",
      "value": "270 Watt"
    },
    {
      "name": "Today",
      "value": "5.85 kWh"
    },
    {
      "name": "ThisWeek",
      "value": "5.83 kWh"
    },
    {
      "name": "ThisMonth",
      "value": "12.8 kWh"
    },
    {
      "name": "LastMonth",
      "value": "246.75 kWh"
    }
  ]
}

in the module folder
and this config (from the readme)

{
  module: 'MMM-JsonTable',
  position: 'top_right',
  classes:'page1',
  header: 'HouseDB Sevensegment',
  config: {
    url: 'http://localhost:8090/modules/MMM-JsonTable/foobar.json', // Required
    arrayName: 'items' // Required---
  }
}  

and it displayed as expected

Thanks Sam.
So do I need port 8090 based on your config?. In my config port definition I have:
port: “8080”,

Other than that I don’t see any difference. Do I need to change router setting? Any missing package you think? Thanks.

[sankum]

Hi Sam,

Never mind!! It is port 8080.
I copied the json file you have shown and it worked. So it must be my json file. I will try to figure out what is the difference. Thanks for your help.

[sdetweil]

@sankum sorry intended to change that in
my post, too early

[sdetweil]

@sankum i use this online to to validate and format json

Thank you, Sam.

[sdetweil]

@sankum did you get it fixed?

[sankum]

Sam, sorry I overlooked your question
Yes, I did get it fixed. Thanks.

[sdetweil]

@sankum was it the file contents?

[sankum]

Sam,

Yes, it was the file content. I had copied it from the git example but obviously did something wrong.
