read csv-data and put it in an array

[Perlchamp]

@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” …

[sdetweil]

@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

[Perlchamp]

ok, thanks a lot sam :-)
no i will try to play with it.

[Perlchamp]

Log.log("hello Log");

=> Log.log(“hello Log”);
^

another question:
what can i do with MMM-logging. if i start npm start in the MagicMirror folder nothing will displayed. and to test, etc. i have to close MagicMirror because it fill the hole screen …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp log.log only works in the modulename.js (the part loaded in the browser)
we call it that cause its filename matches the module name

[Perlchamp]

ok, thanks again :-)

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp u can redirect the output of npm start to a file, npm start >somefile

u can minimize the window with alt-spacebar, n

u can open the developers window ( for the modulename,js debugging) npm start dev
or if mirror already running use f12 or ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard

I debug from my PC, ssh connected to pi, or I run MM on my PC… and debug there

[Perlchamp]

what do you use for debugging on pc ?
do you have x64 or arm-based pc ?

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp x64, run linux or windows (today on linux), doesn’t matter… same debug process… look at console or browser window
if I need to debug modulename.js on pi, I open browser from PC to the mirror URL and do it there
