sqlite - anyone use it?

bobt

Thanks - and one (hopefully last) question. If I wanted sqlite to be available for a number of modules where would I put it?

@bobt i don’t know

u might be able to put in in the base, and then change your require to include the path to the ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/sqlite version

@bobt
did u find a solution for your problem ?

@Perlchamp you should create a package.json for the module
by doing npm init in the module folder, and answering the setup questins.
the questions only add text to the package.json, nothing else

and then

then install your dependencies

npm install --save sqlite3

–save means add this to the package.json dependencies section

when u are done, you can send the package.json to another person,
and they can run npm install in the module folder and get the same
supporting code installed for this module

and if you asked for a SPECIFIC version of some library,
that would be recorded in the package.json too, so the other user would get
the same level of the dependency

Thanks everyone for your help. What I was doing was using MMM-MarineWeather By Grena https://github.com/grenagit
as a template to create a MarineTides version. In my simplicity I was loading the tide predictions from NOAA into a table and trying to use sqlite. The problems caused me to do a better job. Now I link to the NOAA website for the info. This allows the module to get the tide info from any (US) location. Works well. I’ll clean it up and try to add it to Git. May need help with that.
Thanks again.
