This might be a daft question, but...

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks very much, I’ll have a play with it over the weekend and hopefully I get can something working

I’ve not done anything like this before really, so just jumping in and seeing what happens :-)

url: "", //Insert your url here
result: false,

    updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000 //Every 30 mins

    setInterval(()=>{

        this.updateDom();

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks for this, I’ll see if I can get it working

[Mitchfarino]

@strawberry-3-141 once I’ve got some code, how do I test it on my mirror?

Just copy the folder to the modules folder and add it to the config, or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks

[paviro]

@Mitchfarino no that’s it :)

[Mitchfarino]

@paviro Awesome, thank you!

I’m stumbling my way through, hopefully I’ll have something working soon :)

[paviro]

@Mitchfarino good luck! :)

[Mitchfarino]

@paviro Just one more question…

Why would I need to run npm install for some modules?

[strawberry 3.141]

to install the dependencies listed in the package.json file

Hi All,

I’m struggling a bit here, does anyone fancy doing a bit of hand holding to point me in the right direction?

JS is completely knew to me, but I’m not sure where to start.

Thanks in advance - I’m happy to do it through chats on this forum, or using hangouts or something similar.
