      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

          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) …

            @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…

                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:

                  @Perlchamp welcome to the fun

                  its really month and day… year you would only want to know for big event things… 18, 21, 30, 40,50, …

                  so, I would reorg the data as a hash (object) by date, and list [array] of people [‘Stan Smith’, ‘Joe Anyone’]

                  birthdays = {}
                  u can use the moment() object to get the month/day, or had code to extract the part of the date month/day,
                  birthdays[birth_date][‘names’] = [‘Stan Smith’, ‘Joe Anyone’]
                  then send the birthdays object up to modulename.js

                  modulename.js in getDom()
                  it uses moment().format(‘MMDD’) or (‘DDMM’) (same as node_helper did)
                  then
                  if( this.birthdays[date] !=undefined) // if there is something for today
                  then can add the names in a for loop to the html to display

                  and if you use moment() in modulename, u can add/subtract to look ahead, and it will format the right month/day,
                  and u can get the day name

                  today,
                  tomorrow
                  saturday
                  sunday,
                  next week…

                    uff, now first i have to read some papers for understanding that stuff …
                    in the moment i only can see the output of the json-object via terminal. i don’t have them saved in an array or string. i wanted to use a async-method (by await), but it seems that this is the wrong way (error-messages) …
                    i think to put the data first in an array couldn’t be wrong so far ?

                     {
                        Geburtsmonat: 'März',
                        Geburtstag: '7',
                        Geburtsjahr: '1972',
                        Name: 'Julia Ützglütz'
                      },
                    {
                    ...
                    }
                    
                    

                    could it ?

                      @Perlchamp should already be an array of row(of column name/value pairs)…

                      the JSON class has stringify(object) to convert json to text,

                      console.log(JSON.stringify(results of convert))

                      also has parse (from text form of json to object)

                        ok, now i have a dictionary (is that called though?) - always 4 columns (i will change that, if i read how to put it all in an array. in the moment i just have the output via console …)

                        [{"Geburtsmonat":"Januar","Geburtstag":"3","Geburtsjahr":"1940","Name":"Renate Stögger"},{...},{...}]
                        

                        but i’m on the right way, thanks again :-)
