[MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker (new: version 2.x)

[Jalibu]

I refactored this module again to use Yahoo’s financial API instead of Alphavantage and need some voluntary testers.

It should now support many more Symbols and be more accurate and much simpler.

Please check out this Feature Branch:
https://github.com/jalibu/MMM-Jast/tree/feat/useYahoo

@jalibu

I will test it later today, but I need to know of this is this a upgrade or is it a new install.

I use the originale MMM-JaST, should this be removed before a new install?

[Jalibu]

@bravooscar
Well, the word “install” is fuzzy…

You don’t need to uninstall your old one and even your configuration is compatible.

You can switch between them by just changing the branch.
In your modules/MMM-Jast folder execute

Switch to Yahoo test branch:

git fetch
git checkout feat/useYahoo
npm i

Switch back to stable master:

git checkout master

It looks like there is a error when using “git checkout feat/useYahoo”.

Now the alert message on MM says there is a update for MMM-Jast

I removed MMM-Jast folder, and did a clean install of MMM-Jast.
Then I did this

git fetch
git checkout feat/useYahoo
npm i

Everythink works now, and also one of my stocks that was not available before.

Good work!
Think is should be made as master, maby make a config option, so its possible to cange from Yahoo to the other one.

[earnestrichards]

I guess I’ve done something wrong…

I copied the link, installed to my modules folder, ran the “npm i” command, and updated my config .js file

{
			module: "MMM-Jast",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				maxWidth: "100%",
				updateIntervalInSeconds: 300,
				fadeSpeedInSeconds: 3.5, // Higher value: vertical -> faster // horizontal -> slower
				scroll:"none", // "<none, vertical, horizontal>",
				showChangePercent: true,
				showChangeValue: false,
				showChangeValueCurrency: false,
				showDepotGrowth: false,
				stocks: [
					{ name: "FFFEX", symbol: "FFFEX",quantity: 1},
					{ name: "FFFDX", symbol: "FFFDX", quantity: 1},
					{ name: "PLFJX", symbol: "PLFJX", quantity: 1}
					// { name: "DJIA", symbol: "DJIA"}
				]
			}
		},

@earnestrichards I sent you a PM.
I think you are not on the feat/useYahoo branch.

No matter. I have now made the feature branch the master.

Hi @jalibu ,

It works (for the most of my Stocks). The ticker is showing me the correct value but not an increase/decrease in percent (for 2 of 10 stocks).

thank you in advance!

:man_facepalming: As I have read so many times here on the forum… Read. The. Instructions. Thanks!!!

[jack819]

I am very new to all of this but have been able to install every module so far. I had the old one working fine until the other day when it would not update the stocks. Then I discovered it was updated so I removed the old one and installed the new one as directed. I copied the config file directly to the config.js but I keep getting an error. When I run the config check it keeps coming back as below:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.14.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node js/check_config.js

[01.04.2021 06:41.32.155] [INFO]  Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
[01.04.2021 06:41.32.210] [ERROR] Your configuration file contains syntax errors :(
[01.04.2021 06:41.32.212] [ERROR] Line 109 col 3 Parsing error: Unexpected token stocks```

Any ideas? Like I said, the config file is copied right from the sample. Line 109 is the stocks : [ line from the sample.

[sdetweil]

@jack819 is there a comma on the end of line 108?

[jack819]

@sdetweil
There was not a comma (like I said, I am new to this). I did add one but now I just get a black screen when I start Magic Mirror. Nothing seems to load.

[sdetweil]

@jack819 and when u look at the messages in the window where u started MM???

did u do an npm install in the module folder after git clone?

[sdetweil]

@jack819 said in [MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker (new: version 2.0.0):

did u do an npm install in the module folder after git clone?

I see the instructions do not say to change to the module folder before doing the npm i
I submitted an issue to the modules github repo

[jack819]

Bear with me, I am new to this:

I got to the modules folder in terminal, copied the git command, hit enter. Once that happened, I typed in the npm i command. It appears it was still in the module folder.

[sdetweil]

@jack819 to install a module (read the link below in my signature)

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone   url from module
cd module_name
npm i

you need the module folder to be the current folder to do the dependency install

[RIKKO14]

Hello,
I am French.
Since The data is now fetched from Yahoo’s finance API. I would like to try again to install this module but beforehand I would like to know how we find the symbols for the stocks ​​we want to have and present them like this:
{name: “BASF”, symbol: “BAS.DE”, quantity: 10},
{name: “SAP”, symbol: “SAP.DE”, quantity: 15},
{name: “Henkel”, symbol: “HEN3.DE”},
{name: “Alibaba”, symbol: “BABA”}
]
}
}

The stocks ​​that interest me are:
CAC 40
Dow jones
Euro stoxx 50
Crédit Agricole.

Thank you

[RIKKO14]

I tried to install this module with the stocks in examples but I had a problem of “Electron rebuild” because of black screen, I do not know how to make an “electron rebuild” so I deleted the module and the modules of my MM reappeared.
how to do an “electron rebuild”?

[Jalibu]

Bonjour @rikko14,

an easy way to get your Stock Symbols is as follows:

• Open https://finance.yahoo.com and just search for your favorite stocks (i.e. BMW)
• Click on Search result
• URL should now be like https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BMW.DE?p=BMW.DE&.tsrc=fin-srch where BMW.DE is the symbol.

This module should not cause any problems with Electron. But there was a mistake in the installation documentation. Please make sure to change into the MMM-Jast module’s folder before you execute the “npm i” command. Please check the latest installation instructions, as they are now fixed.

[Jalibu]

@jack819 That was my mistake in the documentation. It is fixed now.
