One-line switch to enable / disable modules

[rudibarani]

Currently, I comment out all modules that I want to keep configured but don’t want to use currently line by line.

Is there an easier way to enable / disable modules in the config.js file?
If not, I would suggest a MM2-wide working variable (analog to header) to enable / disable modules, e.g.

module_active: true / false

What do you think?

@rudibarani disabled does this, doesn’t it?

disabled 	Set disabled to true to skip creating the module. This field is optional.

@Anhalter42 That’s what I was looking for! Thanks a lot :)

disabled: “true”, it doesnt work

@sebi76 booleans do not have quotes. Try without

I’ve done this in my config.js file:

const DISABLED = {};

if (RPI_DEV) { // I'm setting this value automatically based on the system
    DISABLED.weather = false;
    DISABLED.clock = false;
    DISABLED.calendar = false;
    DISABLED.tools = false;
    DISABLED.hue = true;
    DISABLED.newsfeed = true;
    DISABLED.nest_cameras = true;
    DISABLED.nest_status = true;
    DISABLED.telegram = true;
    DISABLED.hotword = true;
} else {
    DISABLED.weather = false;
    DISABLED.clock = false;
    DISABLED.calendar = false;
    DISABLED.tools = false;
    DISABLED.hue = false;
    DISABLED.newsfeed = false;
    DISABLED.nest_cameras = false;
    DISABLED.nest_status = false;
    DISABLED.telegram = false;
    DISABLED.hotword = false;
}

And then for each module you can do something like this:

{
    module: 'clock',
    position: 'top_left',
    config: {
        displaySeconds: false,
        displayType: 'digital',
        dateFormat: 'dddd, MMM D, YYYY'
    },
    disabled: DISABLED.clock
},

@michael5r said in One-line switch to enable / disable modules:

I’ve done this in my config.js file:

Where do you placesd this in you config. Like this?

	modules: [
			
const DISABLED = {};
   
    DISABLED.clock = false;

}
  
		{
			module: "alert",
			classes:  'default everyone',
			},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar",
			classes:  'default everyone', 
			},
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left",
			classes:  'default everyone',
			disabled: DISABLED.clock			
		},
		
	    ]

};

@sebi76 No, it needs to be before that.

Place it at the top of the file, before this line:

var config = {

It’s works not :grimacing_face:

@sebi76 Your syntax is wrong - you have this:

const DISABLED = {};
   
    DISABLED.clock = false;

},

It should just be this:

const DISABLED = {};
DISABLED.clock = false;

It’s that last }, that’s breaking your code.
