Develop module with API

@htilburgs
Then, you can access the jsonData like this; (This will be your main job)

...
var Fajr = jsonResult.data.timings.Fajr
console.log(Fajr)

last, you can print it MM screen with .getDom()(You should call .updateDom() to update screen) or DOM manipulation.

...
this.dataToShow.Fajr = jsonResult.data.timings.Fajr
...


getDom : function() {
  var dom = document.createElement("div")
  if (this.dataToShow) dom.innerHTML = this.dataToShow.Fajr
  return dom
},

I’m skipping many things. This is just hint or sample. Remains will be your homework. :D

@Mykle1 @Sean
Both thanks for the quick reply.
For now I’ve information that I can use to start.
If there are any questions, I know where to be ;-)

I used the example from MMM-UFO, and started the module.
How can I check if there is data from the API URL?

htilburgs

Oke, got it. I had to add some console.log settings…:flushed_face:

@Mykle1 I’m using MMM-UFO as example and trying to figure out. I’m getting somewhere but… The data is retrieved through the api and this is the result:

Asr: "16:01"
Dhuhr: "12:46"
Fajr: "05:12"
Imsak: "05:02"
Isha: "20:21"
Maghrib: "18:49"
Midnight: "00:46"
Sunrise: "06:44"
Sunset: "18:49"

The module is generated on the MM

But as you can see, it cannot read or display the data in the correct way.
This is the code that I use to get the data from the resultset.

// Fajr from data
var mptFajr = document.createElement("div");
mptFajr.classList.add("small", "bright", "fajr");
mptFajr.innerHTML = "Fajr : " + MPT.Fajr;
wrapper.appendChild(mptFajr);

I can’t figure out what the problem is. It seems have something to do with the time-string that is returned. But whatever I try, no luck. Any idea?

@htilburgs said in Develop module with API:

mptFajr.innerHTML = "Fajr : " + MPT.Fajr;

Is this correct? MPT.Fajr above? Not mpt.Fajr?

@Mykle1 it’s not json format. Same problem as your PC stats

@Mykle1, @sdetweil ,
Looking at the website from the API Prayer Times API, the result are all displayed in JSON

The API has several endpoints to assist developers. Note that all the endpoints return JSON and are available over http and https.

I’ve looked at the code again and it should be MPT.Fajr.
I’ve made the module public on github, so you can take a look if you like.

Meanwhile I’m trying to solve it…

I don’t know what you exactly want,
but ,
Instead

var MPT = this.MPT[Keys[this.activeItem]];

Use this;

var MPT = this.MPT

You can get above picture.

@Sean,
This is what I want. Thanx for the quick reply!

Can you tell me what is the difference in the code?

This was an example from the MMM-UFO where information is rotated.
Because I don’t need it, I’m going to cleanup.
