read csv-data and put it in an array

[Perlchamp]

ok, it’s slowly dawning on me, see little light at the end of the tunnel

@Perlchamp if u install the logging module I suggested, then it captures all the messages from the modulename.js in the browser and prints them to the terminal window log, which would be saved to the file as well.

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil a node_helper has two built in functions (I have never useed init() or stop() for anything, but they are available)

start: when the helper is loaded
socketNotificationReceived, when the modulename.js sends a message to the helper

the helper has one useful function

sendSocketNotification , to send a message back to the modulename.js

everything else is all up to you

note that the modulename.js gets the config.js config:{} info for this module, NOT the node_helper… so if the node_helper needs to know (filenames, timings, ???) , the modulename.js has to send a message with the this.config info down to the helper, and the helper has to save it to use later

@sdetweil said in read csv-data and put it in an array:

so i also can do (?):
npm start dev
in the window on the right klicking on “console”. there i see a lot of massages coming from console/moduls
and then i can use your module to lock out other modules (?) …

@Perlchamp

so i also can do (?):
npm start dev

yes

can use your module to lock out other modules (

no… it collects all messages. so I add my module name to them…

on windows the notepad++ editor allows you to find all, and gives a new window with the lines
from where the find was done and allows u to click on the find results and navigate to the original file…
very helpful when there is a big log and maybe only 1 or 2 specific messages u are looking for

[Perlchamp]

ok, understand

[Perlchamp]

i have another information for you (github - MMM-Logging):

You can find more detailed information on debugging your MagicMirror here: Module Debugging. If you also want the Electron rederer (web browser) console logs to be printed to the standard console (or PM2 logs), change the following line to the very top of ~/MagicMirror/run-start.sh <<

this file does not exist. i can’t find it in the file-manager (i see all hidden files) …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp yeh, that shell script was removed in 2.11… again I copied someone elses module and improved it for me.

you can do that

export ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true

in the terminal window where you will do npm start

but with my changes, I don’t think u need to do that instruction anymore…

[Perlchamp]

ok, that’s fine

[Perlchamp]

ok, now i can see the output of my csvtojson object. now the question about handle this all:
is it better (csv-file) to call the rows ‘month of birth’, ‘birthday’, ‘year of birth’, ‘name’
=> mai,23,1964,stan smith
or ‘birth’,name
=> 05.23.1964,stan smith

how said:
i want to display the birthdays of the current month, then the name and the age. if people should have birthday at the same day, they should listed, in which the daynumber only displayed once (=> two cells).
what should happen, if the day of birth is over, i don’t know yet. there will be two options, i think, between the user can choose:

1. delete the names on the list (with daynumber)
2. dimm these entries.
   finally it should display like this:
