txt file for MMM embedyoutube

sdetweil

@chassain-0 just read a file, line by line? any comment markers? (#, //, ;);

something like this?

list_of_images: [],

read_video_ids: function(){
  let self=this
  var reader = new FileReader();
  reader.onload = function(progressEvent){
    // Entire file
    console.log(this.result);
    self.list_of_images=this.result.split(/\r\n|\n/); // windows or linux line ends
  };
  reader.readAsText( self.config.filename);
}

@sdetweil
line by line exactly…
line 1 is for video_id without “”
line 2 without “” to have second video for params video list

i can read line to line but i need to integrate line 1in config/js to :
video_id:“line 1”,
and line2, line 3,… to ;
video_list :[“line2”, “line3”,…]

@chassain-0 with or without quotes?

the code above

will turn this

"line1"
"line2"
"line3"

into this

self.list_of_images=["line1","line2","line3"]

change the variable names

u can do that live, not have to put them in config.js, just read the file

@sdetweil ok thanks i will try this option.

here a little example of config embedyoutube

Module.register("MMM-EmbedYoutube", {
	defaults: {
		autoplay: false,
		mute: true,
		color: "red",
		controls : false,
		disablekb: false,
		fs: true,
		height: 315,
		width: 560,
		loop: false,
		modestbranding: false,
		rel : false,
		showinfo : false,
		video_id : "",
		playlist: "",
		video_list: []
	},

	getDom: function () {
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");

		// Parameter
		var params = "";

		var videoList = "";
		if (this.config.video_list && this.config.video_list.length > 0) {
			videoList = "&playlist=";
			for (var i = 0; i < this.config.video_list.length; i++) {
				videoList += this.config.video_list[i];
				if (i + 1 < this.config.video_list.length)
					videoList += ",";
			}
		}

u just want the item so u can cut/paste it into the config?

even smaller, doit.js

var fs = require("fs");
var text = fs.readFileSync("./textfile");
console.log("file="+text);
    var list_of_images=text.toString().split(/\r\n|\n/); // windows or linux line ends

   console.log("video_list:"+JSON.stringify(list_of_images));

node doit.js
file=line1
line2
line3
line4
line5
video_list:["line1","line2","line3","line4","line5"]

| changed to use ‘:’ instead of = , easier cut/paste jnto config.js
