shame on me. i didn’t install npm , tztztz …
ok, now it works fine …
the mistake i made before was to create an empty node_helper.js in my modul-folder, though the errors came …
how said, everything’s fine now, but i will have a lot of work writing a node_helper.js. i copied your node_helper.js (sample) ini my module-folder => no errors :-)
how said, i’m a noob and i don’t know, if i can handle this all to manage.i want to code a small app, showing me the birthdays of the actual month. like this:
maybe you can be my tutor, taking my hands and help me …so long
many thanks in advancestay healthy
keep corona away -
@Perlchamp said in read csv-data and put it in an array:
i want to code a small app,
there is a minimum set of stuff to do… its not small if you don’t understand the stuff…
I will answer questions and teach a little of the structure… I won’t write anything for you. -
that’s not what i wanted (writing code for me). my big problem is, not to know how i can start, how i can test code-snippets and so on …
i read some articles, but when i want to test some lines of code, i don’t know what to do. in my magicmirror module i can’t do that => error messages … i hope that i have expressed myself clearly and understandably …
if i have a code-snoppet, go to terminal and put innode xxx.js
path not found, module not found, and many other error messages … maybe i soon despair …

@Perlchamp is the xxx.js in the current folder? if not u need to give path to the file
you can do in MM module, with messages… there are two parts… the server side (node_helper) whose messages (console.log) come out on the same terminal window
the browser side (modulename.js) uses Log.log. and displays only in the developer windowI have modified a logging module that will display them together on the terminal window
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Logging
install this as the FIRST module in the list
use this definition in config.js{ module: 'MMM-Logging', disabled: false, config: { // Module functions out of the box with nothing set here. // See below for configurable options. echoLocal: true, echoRemote: true, overwriteBrowserMethods: true, format: "{{message}} ({{folder}}/{{file}}:{{line}} {{method}})", } },

thanks a lot, i will try to “play” with it. can take some time …
-
@Perlchamp ok, if you are trying to use the csv-> somethign libraries and installed them in you module folder, then u want to be IN that folder to run your sample node xxx.js tests so the module folder path is right for require()
-
@sdetweil said in read csv-data and put it in an array:
u want to be IN that folder
you mean in my module folder? it’s called “MMM-birthdaylist” …
-
@Perlchamp correct
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-birthdaylist node xxx.js
note xxx.js can’t do anything specifically MagicMirror related no module register no sendSocketNotification
-
ok, thanks a lot sam :-)
no i will try to play with it. -
Log.log("hello Log");
=> Log.log(“hello Log”);
