Any plan to replace "request" and "moment"?

@bkeyport same for me, even tho I am aware like 99% of MM users are running it out of a raspberry pi with a Chromium browser.
That is the reason I say the main focus could be on Chromium-based browsers rather than others.

I’m using Brave which is Chrome based without all the tracking and such ;)

@cowboysdude technically it is based on Chromium (https://www.chromium.org/).

cowboysdude

@bkeyport I wouldn’t worry about it. Moment will be around for a while. Easy to use and yes you can add it to your own package json file and still use it.

Request…not so much LOL

cowboysdude

@0m4r meh either way LOL

@cowboysdude Been playing with changing over anyway (to luxon), and all I’ve been able to do for sure is make MM not come up at all.

There needs to be MUCH better documentation on how to build out with external modules. It don’t make sense.

sdetweil

@bkeyport explain more. externals are used in node_helper, and some can be used in module name.js as loaded by getScripts()

if the lib shows useage as a < script … />
link, then u can use it in getScripts

@sdetweil I’m trying to get luxon up and running.

Supports Node.js 6+. Install via NPM:

npm install --save luxon

const { DateTime } = require("luxon");

Do I need to use node_helper to get it going, then?

sdetweil

@bkeyport require only works in node_helper

the doc also gives u a < script approach

still npm install
then getScripts to load the file from node_modules folder/luxon folder

the use in modulename.js as shown for browser

BKeyport

@sdetweil Oh, so I set up the require in node_helper, and use it accordingly in the main module script? Nice.
