    If you happen to have a Mac CodeRunner is amazing! It can compile and execute a lot of different programming languages and is really fast. Atom (Windows, Linux, Mac) is also really nice but I quite often find myself using CodeRunner instead because Atom needs so much CPU and is also a lot slower compared.

    We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

        @Mitchfarino Most certainly you should be able to. There are node.js specific projects. You just need to install tools:

            Sorry, again

            Which of these projects would be the correct one?!

              @Mitchfarino Sorry, I’ve not tried this yet myself, but have you tried to use this option that you have selected: “From Existing Node.js code”?

                @alexyak Sorted, I tried that and imported an existing module

                Now I just to figure out what I’m doing now! :)

                  OK, I’m up and running, but I’m not sure how to parse my JSON result in to html.

                  I have this, but don’t know whether it’s correct

                  I just want to see if I can list the names from the results of my GET request

                  getDom: function () {
                      var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
                  
                      $.getJSON(this.url,
                          function (data) {
                              var tr;
                              for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                                  tr = $('<tr/>');
                                  tr.append("<td>" + data[i].name + "</td>");
                  
                                  $('table').append(tr);
                              }
                              wrapper.append("<td>" + data[i].name + "</td>");
                          });
                      return wrapper;
                  

                  I’d like to note, this is all completely new to me, so I’m trying to learn as I go…

                    @strawberry-3-141 I saw you were online, so I’m shamelessly tagging you in my post in the hopes of some guidance :-(

                      @Mitchfarino

                      getDom: function () {
                          var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
                          var table = document.createElement("table");
                      
                          $.getJSON(this.url,
                              function (data) {
                                  for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                                      var row = document.createElement("tr");
                                      var name = document.createElement("td");
                                      name.innerHTML = data[i].name;
                                      row.appendChild(name);
                                      table.appendChild(row);
                                  }
                                  wrapper.appendChild(table);
                                  return wrapper;
                              });
                      

                      but I’m pretty sure that this will not work, because the return is in an asynchronous callback, i would do a different structure call your url in an interval somewhere else and save your data into an module variable and call the updateDom function after a result, then in getDom you iterate over the data.

                      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
