Develop module with API

I am new to MM as well as JS, so I do like to learn the way you code for the API, so I can get the idea to code my own.
Anyway, I will find another example to continue my coding.

First, you should aspire to learn how others code. I have a basic understanding of coding but I manage to make things work, usually. Only with the help and guidance of others have I managed to create some modules. Anyway . . .

The url you have for the weather data is working. Great! I took the data and ran it through the json viewer. I assume you did the same as per the instructions in the UFO module readme. By substituting the url and changing some naming in the node helper and js file you should be able to get the data. Setting up the divs should not be too hard either.

See what you can manage on your own and I will try to help you when you get stuck.

Paying it forward.

Peace!

Hi @Mykle1 , I am trying to display only one parameter on the magic mirror,unfortunately it show undefined. I tried different ways but still cant make it.
I don’t not know what is the root cause since I was using MMM_UFO as my template. Do you mind to have a look on my module and advice me?
Thank you very much.

I am not sure is the issue came from the API that I inserted not correct and return a wrong data. but I have no idea how I can make it work.

this.url = "https://api.data.gov.sg/v1/environment/4-day-weather-forecast";
		this.SW = [];

Give me your email in a private chat message and I’ll send you the fixed files.

You’re doing well. Don’t worry about making mistakes or being new. Everyone here has, at one time or another, been right where you are. I still struggle with coding. I’m just too old and too stupid to stop trying.
