Develop module with API

A Former User

@htilburgs
Well, I don’t know what exactly you’ve tried, so difficult to tell what was wrong.
But,
You’ve already gotten timings from response of API in node_helper.js, and transfered it to your main module.

var result = JSON.parse(body).data.timings;

So your this.MPT might have this object structure;

{
      "Fajr":"04:06",
      "Sunrise":"05:35",
      "Dhuhr":"11:39",
      ...
}

So, All you need is just refer it like this.MPT.Fajr.

@Sean,
Thank you for explaining and pointing me out.
I understand what was the issue. I’ve cleaned up the code and removed the caroussel part (and unneeded variables), because I don’t use that.

Added the possibility for showing or not showing some items.
Up to the next part… HTML Markup

Strugling with formatting. When I use the basic code, I got the result I like but it’s not displayed nice. I like to have 3 columns.

		var MPT = this.MPT;
		
		// Creating the div's for your data items
		var top = document.createElement("div");
		top.classList.add("list-row");

		// Fajr from data
		var mptFajr = document.createElement("div");
		mptFajr.classList.add("small", "bright", "Fajr");
		mptFajr.innerHTML = "Fajr : " + MPT.Fajr + " الفجر";
		wrapper.appendChild(mptFajr);			
			
		// Sunrise from data
		if (this.config.showSunrise != false) {
		    var mptSunrise = document.createElement("div");
		    mptSunrise.classList.add("small", "bright", "Sunrise");
		    mptSunrise.innerHTML = "Sunrise : " + MPT.Sunrise + " شروق الشمس";
		    wrapper.appendChild(mptSunrise);
		}
		// Dhuhr from data
		var mptDhuhr = document.createElement("div");
		mptDhuhr.classList.add("small", "bright", "Dhuhr");
		mptDhuhr.innerHTML = "Duhr : " + MPT.Dhuhr + " الظهر";
		wrapper.appendChild(mptDhuhr);

		// Asr from data
		var mptAsr = document.createElement("div");
		mptAsr.classList.add("small", "bright", "Asr");
		mptAsr.innerHTML = "Asr : " + MPT.Asr + " العصر";
		wrapper.appendChild(mptAsr);
			
		// Sunset from data
		if (this.config.showSunset != false) {
		    var mptSunset = document.createElement("div");
		    mptSunset.classList.add("small", "bright", "Sunset");
		    mptSunset.innerHTML = "Sunset : " + MPT.Sunset + " غروب الشمس";
		    wrapper.appendChild(mptSunset);
		}
			
		// Maghrib from data
		var mptMaghrib = document.createElement("div");
		mptMaghrib.classList.add("small", "bright", "Maghrib");
		mptMaghrib.innerHTML = "Maghrib : " + MPT.Maghrib + " المغرب";
		wrapper.appendChild(mptMaghrib);
		
		// Isha from data
		var mptIsha = document.createElement("div");
		mptIsha.classList.add("small", "bright", "Isha");
		mptIsha.innerHTML = "Isha : " + MPT.Isha + " العشاء";
		wrapper.appendChild(mptIsha);
			
		// Midnight from data
		if (this.config.showMidnight != false) {
		    var mptMidnight = document.createElement("div");
		    mptMidnight.classList.add("small", "bright", "Midnight");
		    mptMidnigh

Now I trying for several hours to figure out how to create table, columns, rows…
I’ve changed the code part to

		var MPT = this.MPT;

		var logs = document.createElement("table");
		var callWrapper = document.createElement("tr");
		callWrapper.classList.add("small");
		
		// Fajr
		var FajrTextCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrTextCell.className.add = "xsmall bright fajrtext";
		FajrTextCell.innerHTML = "Fajr";
		callWrapper.appendChild(FajrTextCell);
		
		var FajrTimeCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrTimeCell.className = "xsmall bright fajrtime";
		FajrTimeCell.innerHTML = MPT.Fajr;
		callWrapper.appendChild(FajrTimeCell);
		
		var FajrArabCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrArabCell.className = "xsmall bright fajrarab";
		FajrArabCell.innerHTML = "الفجر";
		callWrapper.appendChild(FajrArabCell);

		logs.appendChild(callWrapper);
		wrapper.appendChild(logs);
		return wrapper;

The result for 1 item is nice

But when I repeat this for the other items, no rows are created and everything is on the same row.

		var MPT = this.MPT;

//Table Test

		var logs = document.createElement("table");
		var callWrapper = document.createElement("tr");
		callWrapper.classList.add("small");
		
		// Fajr
		var FajrTextCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrTextCell.className.add = "xsmall bright fajrtext";
		FajrTextCell.innerHTML = "Fajr";
		callWrapper.appendChild(FajrTextCell);
		
		var FajrTimeCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrTimeCell.className = "xsmall bright fajrtime";
		FajrTimeCell.innerHTML = MPT.Fajr;
		callWrapper.appendChild(FajrTimeCell);
		
		var FajrArabCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrArabCell.className = "xsmall bright fajrarab";
		FajrArabCell.innerHTML = "الفجر";
		callWrapper.appendChild(FajrArabCell);
		
		// Sunrise
		var SunriseTextCell = document.createElement("td");
		SunriseTextCell.className.add = "xsmall bright sunrisetext";
		SunriseTextCell.innerHTML = "Sunrise";
		callWrapper.appendChild(FajrTextCell);
		
		var SunriseTimeCell = document.createElement("td");
		SunriseTimeCell.className = "xsmall bright fajrtime";
		SunriseTimeCell.innerHTML = MPT.Sunrise;
		callWrapper.appendChild(SunriseTimeCell);
		
		var SunriseArabCell = document.createElement("td");
		SunriseArabCell.className = "xsmall bright sunrisearab";
		SunriseArabCell.innerHTML = "شروق الشمس";
		callWrapper.appendChild(SunriseArabCell);		

		logs.appendChild(callWrapper);
		wrapper.appendChild(logs);
		return wrapper;

Any help to get me on the right track again?

@htilburgs
Insert “tr” element after each row.

htilburgs

Don’t I do this with this?

var callWrapper = document.createElement("tr");
callWrapper.appendChild(FajrTextCell);

sdetweil

@htilburgs yes, for each row, and the columns added to the row

htilburgs

@sdetweil I don’t understand what you mean.

sdetweil

@htilburgs make a table with HTML.

tr have to be added to table for each row
And td need to be added for each tr

Right? Exactly the same using code

This might be help. Read following articles about table on that site.

@Sean @sdetweil I finaly figured it out! Thanx for the support and pointing me in the correct direction. See the result:

		var MPT = this.MPT;

		// creating the tablerows
		// Fajr
		var FajrRow = document.createElement("tr")
		FajrRow.className = "small fajr-row";
		
		var FajrTextCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrTextCell.innerHTML = "Fajr";
		FajrRow.appendChild(FajrTextCell);
		table.appendChild(FajrRow);
		
		var FajrTimeCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrTimeCell.className = "bright";
		FajrTimeCell.innerHTML = MPT.Fajr;
		FajrRow.appendChild(FajrTimeCell);
		table.appendChild(FajrRow);
		
		var FajrArabCell = document.createElement("td");
		FajrArabCell.innerHTML = "الفجر";
		FajrRow.appendChild(FajrArabCell);
		table.appendChild(FajrRow);
......
}		
		return table;
