MMM-DailyPokemon Issue

[millis]

Hello,
Im new here, sorry if i posted in the wrong place,

I have very recently come to know about the MagicMirror so I have decided to start setting one up,

I am very excited to get this project finished!!
I have a slight issue though, I have followed the instructions for the Module above exactly!
but as soon as i put the code into the config file the app will not longer work :(
I had run the config:check and it keeps coming back to the same error but im new to code and everything so any help would be truly amazing

this is the error
Line 42 column 4: Parsing error: Unexpected keyword ‘var’

this is the code

var config = {
modules: [
{
module: “MMM-DailyPokemon”,
position: “top_center”,
config: {
updateInterval: 600000,
minPoke: 4,
maxPoke: 151,
grayscale: true,
showType: true,
language: “en”,
genera: true,
gbaMode: true,
nameSize: 26,
flavorText: false
}
}
]
}

Even if i remove everything else in the config file so its just that one module i still get the same error :(

Someone please help

Thank you in advance

Ashley.

@millis You broke config.js. Can you restore it to what it was and then add your MMM-DailyPokemon module. Start the mirror and post the logs. If you start the mirror with pm2 then you can do pm2 logs --lines 50 and post the output. If you use npm then post the output from the terminal where you run npm start

@mumblebaj
Thank you for quick response!
Oh that doesn’t sound ideal…
Ok I have deleted everything in the config.js and copied the config.js.sample file into it,
I booted up MagicMirror and it work with the standard few modules it comes with absolutely fine, i then tried adding the Pokemon one again at the bottom but before the “do not edit this line” and still no luck
Im sure sure how poeple are able to upload there code but ii have just copied it from the terminal

Ok. Post the content of config.js. Once you have pasted the code here, select it all and click the code (</>) button.

I did wonder how everyone was doing that!
The only thing I have done is just removed my API Key and location from the weather app as ive seen on here its just good practice to do so?

Again Thank you for looking into this for me.

This is your problem. Everything between the square brackets need to be within the previous modules collection i.e. between the previous square brackets “[ ]”.

@mumblebaj
Thank you for looking over my code for me, I really do appreciate it, as i said before I am new to all of this and its just a big mystery to me (for the moment)

so what would I need to change in my code to fix this?
from your reply am I right in saying the issue lies with the placement of the square brackets?

I have tried removing them and that didn’t work and I also moved the code into the module above (inside those square brackets)

This is the link from where i got the code it was literally a case of following the install instructions followed by a quick copy and paste
https://github.com/NolanKingdon/MMM-DailyPokemon

Sorry for being an absolute pain, I really do appreciate you taking up your own time to try and help me!

Ashley.

@millis You only need this piece of the module config code:

{
            module: "MMM-DailyPokemon",
            position: "top_center",
            config: {
                updateInterval: 600000,
                minPoke: 4,
                maxPoke: 151,
                grayscale: true,
                showType: true,
                language: "en",
                genera: true,
                gbaMode: true,
                nameSize: 26,
                flavorText: false
            }
        }

This needs to go into the module block. You can paste it between the alert and clock modules.

modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
{
            module: "MMM-DailyPokemon",
            position: "top_center",
            config: {
                updateInterval: 600000,
                minPoke: 4,
                maxPoke: 151,
                grayscale: true,
                showType: true,
                language: "en",
                genera: true,
                gbaMode: true,
                nameSize: 26,
                flavorText: false
            }
        },
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},

Then remove the incorrect code you pasted at the bottom of the file.

The previous poster solved it, and I made one mistake in my post.
You also need to change let config= to var config=
in the beginning of the config.js

@mumblebaj
YES!!!

Thank you so much!! it works!!!

out of interest then how come it gets placed in between the alert and clock and not at the bottom of the code? is it due the position placement on the mirror?

Again Thank you so much!!

Ashley.
