read csv-data and put it in an array

@Perlchamp you have to use the node_helper.js … the module.js file runs in the browser and doesn’t have access to local files

var xxx= require(‘’)…

then module has to send request to node_helper and node_helper has to send results back

see my MyCovid19 module

covid chart do not load :-(

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp show me the config for the module?

[Perlchamp]

in config.js i didn’t use the config section. i thought the defaults should be enough. ok, i will put the config section into the config.js. just a moment, please …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp no… I don’t pick any countries or states, or describe how big the charts should be…
try this

		{
			module:"MyCovid19",
			disabled:false,
			position:"top_left",
			classes: 'sam',			
			config:{
				countries:["Italy","USA","China","Spain", "France",'Sweden'],
				// line colors can be any definition of color either a name ,or a hex string
				// one per country above, used in order,
				line_colors:['red','white','green','yellow','#34ebde','#34eb00'],
				//				
				chart_type:"cumulative_deaths",  // or "cumulative deaths"
				chart_title:"cumulative deaths by country", // however u want to label
				// the vertical steps on the chart.. how tall u want it to be and how mant increments 
				ranges:{min:0,max:30000,stepSize:5000},
				// size of the chart in pixels
			    width: 400,
			    height: 400,	
			    // only used if we need to debug something
			    debug:false,
			    startDate:'02/01/2020',
			    //backgroundColor: 'white',
			},
		},
