mergeConfig() function

[A Former User]

it’s new because in v2.11.x, I have to use mergeConfig()

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet lodash.merge loaded before 2.12.

just saying it’s easy, if u need to do this, without another script

So I do some another test and not worked without configMerge()

Module name : MMM-Freebox (in dev for new version)
in MMM-Freebox.js:

  defaults: {
    updateDelay:  5 * 1000,
    token: "",
    activeOnly: false,
    showIcon: true,
    showButton: true,
    showBandWidth: true,
    showRate: true,
    showClient: true,
    showClientRate: true,
    showClientCnxType: true,
    showFreePlayer: true,
    showMissedCall: true,
    showVPNUsers: true,
    maxMissed: 3,
    showIP: true,
    showPing: true,
    pingAdress: "google.fr",
    textWidth: 250,
    excludeMac: [],
    sortBy: null,
    debug: false,
    verbose: false,
    dev: false,
    debitText: "Débit total utilisé : ",
    player : {
      showPlayerInfo: false,
      // depuis le firmware 4.2.3, problemes d'affichage des logos
      // essayez avec les ips :  "192.168.0.254" (l'ip du freebox server)
      //                         "mafreebox.free.fr" ou le resultat de l'ip de mafreebox.free.fr
      //                         "212.27.38.253" l'ip de mafreebox.free.fr (a voir si cela fonctionne pour vous)
      ServerIP: "212.27.38.253",
      UseEPGDayURL: true,
      EPGDelay: 2* 60 *60 *1000
    }
  },

I try to merge config with MMM-Freebox.js :

  start: function () {
    this.config = Object.assign({}, this.defaults, this.config)

I send config to node_helper.js with:

  notificationReceived: function (notification, payload) {
    switch(notification) {
      case "DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED":
        this.sendSocketNotification("INIT", this.config)
        break
    }
  },

module configuration in config.js:

{
  module: "MMM-Freebox",
  disabled: false,
  header: "INFO Freebox",
  position: "top_center",
  config: {
    token: "xxxx",
    updateDelay:  5 * 1000,
    activeOnly: false,
    sortBy: "type",
    showButton: true,
    debug: true,
    //dev: true,
    //verbose: true,
    showVPNUsers: true,
    textWidth: 250,
    player: {
      showPlayerInfo: true
    }
  }
},

result in node_helper.js:

[2020-08-10 16:53:52.705] [LOG]    {
  updateDelay: 5000,
  token: 'xxxx',
  activeOnly: false,
  showIcon: true,
  showButton: true,
  showBandWidth: true,
  showRate: true,
  showClient: true,
  showClientRate: true,
  showClientCnxType: true,
  showFreePlayer: true,
  showMissedCall: true,
  showVPNUsers: true,
  maxMissed: 3,
  showIP: true,
  showPing: true,
  pingAdress: 'google.fr',
  textWidth: 250,
  excludeMac: [],
  sortBy: 'type',
  debug: true,
  verbose: false,
  dev: false,
  debitText: 'Débit total utilisé : ',
  player: { showPlayerInfo: true }
}

so config is not merged !

now … Let’s try with configMerge() with SAME configuration
just modify :

  start: function () {
    this.config = configMerge({}, this.defaults, this.config)

result in node_helper.js:

[2020-08-10 17:08:14.984] [LOG]    {
  updateDelay: 5000,
  token: 'xxxx',
  activeOnly: false,
  showIcon: true,
  showButton: true,
  showBandWidth: true,
  showRate: true,
  showClient: true,
  showClientRate: true,
  showClientCnxType: true,
  showFreePlayer: true,
  showMissedCall: true,
  showVPNUsers: true,
  maxMissed: 3,
  showIP: true,
  showPing: true,
  pingAdress: 'google.fr',
  textWidth: 250,
  excludeMac: [],
  sortBy: 'type',
  debug: true,
  verbose: false,
  dev: false,
  debitText: 'Débit total utilisé : ',
  player: {
    showPlayerInfo: true,
    ServerIP: '212.27.38.253',
    UseEPGDayURL: true,
    EPGDelay: 7200000
  }
}

You can’t see that player: {} value is now set and merged with default value

@MichMich :

in MM core js/module.js

	/* setConfig(config)
	 * Set the module config and combine it with the module defaults.
	 *
	 * argument config object - Module config.
	 */
	setConfig: function (config) {
		this.config = Object.assign({}, this.defaults, config);
	},

Can I send you a patch with configMerge() script for solve this developer issue (It take head !) ?

@Bugsounet open a PR, describe the problem, and your solution

[A Former User]

sure, i just open it

[A Former User]

Ok, so, after one month

1. No news on this topic (I have mentionned @MichMich but …)
2. I have open an issue, no news
3. i have make a PR, euh no news too ??

So i decide I close Issue and PR
it’s not a problem for me… i use my own tools :)

In this forum,
There are not many developers left …
So avoid listening to them, you would have even less :)
I don’t know what you are looking for :)

For the moment, you have one motivated!
This is not likely to continue for long …

@bugsounet for @MichMich
