Creating Module with API Key/Secret

[lavolp3]

@lilpkstud this.data is an object, not an array. So this.data.name should do the trick. In the code above you have only this.data!?

@lavolp3 I deleted this.data.name because I was getting undefined and I still am

@lavolp3

This line of code will show a { on my mirror so I’m assuming everything is turned into a string?

I used JSON.stringify() in my node_helper file

            wrapperDataRequest.innerHTML = this.data[0];

@lilpkstud said in Creating Module with API Key/Secret:

JSON.stringify()

correct… u converted the object to a string… don’t need to do that

just pass the object from helper up to module …

then it will use the this.data.name

@lilpkstud next to what sdetweil said you should also not save your result into this.data as it is an instance property which already contains data, see https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules#available-module-instance-properties for reference

@strawberry-3-141 should call it api_data maybe!

[lilpkstud]

@sdetwell @strawberry-3-141 thanks guys got it to work!

I used JSON.Stringify() to look at the data when I was console.loggining so that was the reason why my object were turning into strings

@lilpkstud cool… if need it in strings someplace, need to convert it back object=JSON.parse(string)
