MMM-NotificationTrigger transform payload

sdetweil

@corius what is ‘title’? the incoming message is an array of calendar events…

corius

by the title i mean the title of the individual calendar events. but ok then it doesn’t work that way. So again asked differently: is there a way to display upcoming calendar events via the alert module?

sdetweil

@corius said in MMM-NotificationTrigger transform payload:

upcoming calendar events

what does that mean? if I have 20 entries, u want 1 alert with 20 entries, or 20 alerts with 1 entry each?
or just today, or?

alert module is expecting a single line of text

@corius you need to have a look at how the payload looks. If it’s an array, you should be able to catch the title of specific elements by using something like payload.entries[n].title

@corius Considering you want to alert the next event happening in say 15 minutes, you could first check what event is in a range of the next 15 minutes, then take it’s title and alert that one. Can all be done inside the callback function you’ve shown above.

Is that what you want?

@lavolp3 actually payload IS an array
(from my system default cal)

0: {title: "M L King Day", startDate: "1579500000000", endDate: "1579586400000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
1: {title: "Valentine's Day", startDate: "1581660000000", endDate: "1581746400000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
2: {title: "Presidents' Day", startDate: "1581919200000", endDate: "1582005600000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
3: {title: "Good Friday", startDate: "1586494800000", endDate: "1586581200000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
4: {title: "Easter Sunday", startDate: "1586667600000", endDate: "1586754000000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
5: {title: "Mother's Day", startDate: "1589086800000", endDate: "1589173200000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
6: {title: "Memorial Day", startDate: "1590382800000", endDate: "1590469200000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
7: {title: "Father's Day", startDate: "1592715600000", endDate: "1592802000000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
8: {title: "Independence Day Holiday", startDate: "1593752400000", endDate: "1593838800000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}
9: {title: "Independence Day", startDate: "1593838800000", endDate: "1593925200000", fullDayEvent: true, location: "United States", …}

so the js would be

payload[0].title

for the title (cal subject) of the 1st cal entry

I found this by using the developers window (ctrl-shift-i), selecting the ‘Sources’ tab,
expanding the modules entry, and then the calendar entry to get to calendar.js

then knowing it is a notification,(notificationreceived) i searched (ctrl-f) for ‘sendnotification’
I put a stop on that line, hit refesh(f5), and the web page starts over, and stops on that line, then use the mouse to hover over the eventlist variable name, and it expands to the data layout

corius

@lavolp3 yes that is exacly wat i want. can you please post the code? Thank you

lavolp3

{
  module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
  config: {
    triggers:[
      {
        trigger: "CALENDAR_EVENTS",
        fires: [
          {
            fire:"SHOW_ALERT",
            payload: (payload) => {
              var testMessage = "";
              payload.forEach(event => {
                if (moment(event.startDate) > moment() && moment(event.startDate) < moment().add("15", minutes)) {
                 testMessage += event.title + ", "
                }
              });
              return {
                      type: "notification",
                       title: "test",
                       message: testMessage
              } 
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ]
  }
},

This will most probably not work and needs to be de-bugged, but might be worth as a starting point. And I hope you get what I’m hinting at.

@corius

can you please post the code?

Took me 10 seconds :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
No, of course I was already working on it.

Seriously, I like the idea, that’s why I did a contribution.But you need to be more specific if you want to have the complete solution

corius

@lavolp3 Thank you for the fast answer. I tried this code. the result is that I get a notification but so far it only contains the title (test) but not the massage (title of the calendar event)
