Adding a jQuery Module

strawberry 3.141

@NiviJah i think the document ready is fired before the modules are loaded (didn’t test it) there is a broadcast of the core called DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED

if you’re using console.log or Log.info it will be in the electron console, you can see the console by starting the mirror via npm start dev

electron is based on chromium prefix would be -webkit

If you tell for what you want to use jquery, we can help you to do it in vanilla javascript

In addition to @strawberry-3.141 response. I wanted to chime in with option of running it locally on your dev machine and using node serveronly and pointing your browser at http://localhost:8080 using familiar tools while developing. One of the catches is it will not work well if you are developing module that needs to interact with GPIO or other proprietary RasPi functionality.

My personal workflow is roughly outlined here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/13272

Thank you,
This is very helpful.
If I understand correctly, do I need to use DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED like this ?

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender){
	if (notification === 'DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED'){
		$(document).ready().....
	}
},

Does that go into my plugin file ? (i.e not the node helper)

@NiviJah your Code example is correct, except that you don’t Need the ready function, at this Point the Dom is ready and you can do whatever You Wanted to without wrapping it into another event

jQuery didn’t want to play nice, i don’t know why, so I had to work with Vanilla JS.

here is the result

@NiviJah Did you get jQuery to run at all?
