      @nirvana should be very easy.

      the index.html body content becomes the return from getDom()
      the script is returned from getScripts()
      and the css is returned from getStyles()
      with a slight mod to add the module name in front

      use my sample module to start

        @sdetweil Thanks for the info.

        I have problems adding index.html to getDom() wrapper, how to add all elements correctly
        The syntax is different I suppose from html

        I just started html and js, so don’t know much about this languages.

          @nirvana just the stuff in the body tag, not all of index.html

          <div>
          ...
          </div>
          

          https://stackoverflow.com/questions/805107/creating-multiline-strings-in-javascript

          so, all you would have to do is copy/paste the body contents and wrap it in backtics (shifted to left on the number 1 key)

          getDom(), MUST always return SOMETHING (some html element)

          most of the examples return an empty div, when there is not yet anything to display (or they are hidden)

                @sdetweil It is working but only showing the svg image of the clock face without hour/minute hands.

                I think the time elements are not called using moment.js

                The script uses new Date() to get the time. how to tell scipt.js to use moment.js call to get the time instead

                  @nirvana Date should work.

                  make sure the css labels line up w the code

                  did u pass the css file back on getStyles?

                  you should be able to see all that in the developers window

                  ctrl-shift-i
                  elements tab will let u see the dom and elements
                  console any messages
                  source the code for your module, and u can step thru it

                    @sdetweil I tried but not working, I think something is missing.

                    Anyways, I am just using the default analog clock for now. Thanks for all help. I may try it sometime later. u1.png u2.png

                      @nirvana yeh, the code needs to change

                      window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
                          firstMinute()
                      })
                      

                      this will never occur, cause it happened a long time ago in MM web page being loaded
                      u could use notification of DomObjectsCreated to call firstMinute()

                      I don’t know if this is right in MM

                      document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", () => {
                      

                      its the difference between having the whole page to yourself and sharing the space with other modules

                        @nirvana You can have a go at my module I created for this.

                        MMM-SweepClock

                        a1eca181-b4db-4f96-8213-9c26a8dded42-image.png

                        Works fine. Any issues please raise on the modules git page and I will have a look for you.
