Trying to fix my module

[strawberry 3.141]

@skoz

what jumped on my eyes on the first look,

the getDom function requires a synchronous answer, but with the timeout it’s asynchronous, you should load your data outside of this function and in getdom check if the data is there otherwise display a placeholder, then when you received data in the other function you call updateDom to refresh your display

and there is a ratp module out there, maybe you will extend this one instead of creating a new one https://github.com/lgmorand/MMM-Ratp

[skoz]

Thank you for your reply, I didn’t know about this synchronous problem. But I think I saw that the start function is only called once, not each reload, so in which function should I get the data ?

I couldn’t find the ratp module you told me about, if you could send me a link, that would be cool :)

@skoz the link is above

to give you an idea i wrote something little quick to give you an idea how it can be

set an interval in start()

setInterval(() => {
  this.getData();
  this.updateDom();
}, 30*60*1000); //calls getData every 30 mins

getData()

this.dataDirSM = loadJSON("https://api-ratp.pierre-grimaud.fr/v2/rers/B/stations/les+baconnets?destination=robinson+saint+remy+les+chevreuse&endingstation=les+baconnets");
this.data = loadJSON("https://api-ratp.pierre-grimaud.fr/v2/rers/B/stations/les+baconnets?destination=charles+de+gaulle+mitry+claye&endingstation=les+baconnets");

getDom()

var wrapper = document.createElement("div")
if(this.dataDirSM && this.data){

                var realtable = document.createElement('table');

                realtable.appendChild(this.createUpperRow());

for(var i = 0; i < Math.min(this.data.response.schedules.length, this.dataDirSM.response.schedules.length); i++){
                var row = document.createElement('tr')
                row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.data.response.schedules[i].message))
                row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.data.response.schedules[i].id))
                row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.dataDirSM.response.schedules[i].id))
                row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.dataDirSM.response.schedules[i].message))
                realtable.appendChild(row)
}
                wrapper.appendChild(realtable)
} else {
wrapper.innerHTML = "NO DATA";
}
                return wrapper

oh, i’m blind xD I had never seen this module, thanks for pointing it out !
You fixed the for loop, i had trouble with this one, I refused to work and i still don’t know why so i decided to bypass it. Thanks alot for fixing my code, if I understand right, the getDom function will check if data has arrived and if True, it will display the table, if False, it will display the"NO DATA" ? and each reload, the program will reload the data and display it ?
I’ll just have to shorten the time between each refresh because train pass by a bit more regularly so it wont be up to date if i wait 30 minutes each time.

Thank you alot, I will try this new code now :)

[strawberry 3.141]

@skoz yes, but it’s not tested i just wrote it down to give you an idea. if you get in trouble feel free to wite me a pn or check out the other module

[skoz]

Well at least, this time, something happened, the mirror boot up but where the table should be, its written :

schedules
module_5_schedules

Module.register(“schedules”, {

        defaults: {
            updateInterval: 20000
            fadeSpeed: 4000
        },

        getScripts: function() {
            return ["moment.js"]
        },

        getStyles: function() {
            return ["font-awesome.css", "schedules.css"]

        },

        start: function() {
            Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);


            setInterval(() => {
                this.getData();
                this.updateDom();
            }, 20 * 1000); //calls getData every 20 second
        },

        getDom: function() {


            var wrapper = document.createElement("div")
            if (this.dataDirSM && this.data) {

                var realtable = document.createElement('table');

                realtable.appendChild(this.createUpperRow());

                for (var i = 0; i < Math.min(this.data.response.schedules.length, this.dataDirSM.response.schedules.length); i++) {
                    var row = document.createElement('tr')
                    row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.data.response.schedules[i].message))
                    row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.data.response.schedules[i].id))
                    row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.dataDirSM.response.schedules[i].id))
                    row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.dataDirSM.response.schedules[i].message))
                    realtable.appendChild(row)
                }
                wrapper.appendChild(realtable)
            } else {
                wrapper.innerHTML = "NO DATA";

            },


            getData: function() {

                    this.dataDirSM = loadJSON("https://api-ratp.pierre-grimaud.fr/v2/rers/B/stations/les+baconnets?destination=robinson+saint+remy+les+chevreuse&endingstation=les+baconnets");
                    this.data = loadJSON("https://api-ratp.pierre-grimaud.fr/v2/rers/B/stations/les+baconnets?destination=charles+de+gaulle+mitry+claye&endingstation=les+baconnets");

                },

                createUpperRow: function() {

                    function createUpperRow() {

                        var firstTableRow = document.createElement('tr');

                        var tableh1 = document.createElement('th');
                        tableh1.classList.add('align-left');
                        var tx1 = document.createTextNode('Time');

                        tableh1.appendChild(tx1);
                        firstTableRow.appendChild(tableh1);

                        var tableh2 = document.createElement('th');
                        tableh2.classList.add('align-left');
                        var tx2 = document.createTextNode('Paris');

                        tableh2.appendChild(tx2);
                        firstTableRow.appendChild(tableh2);

                        // deuxième moitier

                        var tableh3 = document.createElement('th');
                        tableh3.classList.add('align-right');
                        var tx3 = document.createTextNode('Sud');

                        tableh3.appendChild(tx3);
                        firstTableRow.appendChild(tableh3);

                        var tableh4 = document.createElement('th');
                        tableh4.classList.add('align-right');

                        tableh4.appendChild(tx4);
                        firstTableRow.appendChild(tableh4);

                        return firstTableRow;

                    },

                    boxHeader: function(inside) {

                        if (inside == 'Train à l\'approche' || inside == 'Train à quai') {

                            inside = 'no way'
                        } else if (inside == 'Train retardé') {

                            inside = 'retard'
                        }



                        var fillNode = document.createTextNode(inside);
                        var realBox = document.createElement('td')
                        realBox.appendChild(fillNode);
                        return realBox;
                    }


                })

and here is what I got from your advices

[strawberry 3.141]

@skoz you forgot to return wrapper at the end of getDom and remove function createUpperRow() { in vreateUpperRow

[skoz]

Oh you are right, I also forget a curly brace after the ‘else’, I changed all that but it still doesn’t work
I paste the code again if you want to see it clear

Module.register(“schedules”, {

defaults: {
    updateInterval: 20000
    fadeSpeed: 4000
},

    return ["moment.js"]

    return ["font-awesome.css", "schedules.css"]

},

start: function() {
    Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);


    setInterval(() => {
        this.getData();
        this.updateDom();
    }, 20 * 1000); //calls getData every 20 seconds
},

getDom: function() {


    var wrapper = document.createElement("div")
    if (this.dataDirSM && this.data) {

        var realtable = document.createElement('table');

        realtable.appendChild(this.createUpperRow());

        for (var i = 0; i < Math.min(this.data.response.schedules.length, this.dataDirSM.response.schedules.length); i++) {
            var row = document.createElement('tr')
            row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.data.response.schedules[i].message))
            row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.data.response.schedules[i].id))
            row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.dataDirSM.response.schedules[i].id))
            row.appendChild(this.boxHeader(this.dataDirSM.response.schedules[i].message))
            realtable.appendChild(row)
