    black screen, again. this is my perlchamp.js:

    Module.register("perlchamp", {

    this the node_helper.js:

      this is the getDom-section where the data finally should be placed (perlchamp is for testing) :

          getDom: function() {
      
      
      	if ((moment() > this.midnight) || (!this.loaded)) {
      	    var month = moment().month();
      	    var year = moment().year();

      the data here are text, ifilles in, no variables …

        @Perlchamp ok, couple problems… in teh notification handler we write to active_birthdays,
        but it is a variable local to this routine… so, when this routine ends, it goes awau

        need to move its definition to the top

        
        	defaults: {
        		language: "de",
        		dimmEntries: true   // true: dims entries and the associated 
        							//       symbol when the date has expired.
        							// false: delete entries and the associated 
        							//        symbol when the date has expired.
        	},
            active_birthdays : {},
        

        then add ‘this.’ in front of it in the notification handler
        (and remove the var activebirthdays)

        now it is an instance variable (one per browser)

        also, I spelled substring wrong (I had it subString, its substring )

        gotta run to store, back in a little bit

          ok, be carefully. keep corona away. use mouth and nose protection and wear disposable gloves !

          thanks, but doesn’t work. it seems, that i’m too stupid for this ?
          modified perlchamp.js:

          Module.register("perlchamp", {

          							// false: delete entries and the associated 
          							//        symbol when the date has expired.
          	},
          	
          	active_birthdays: {

          in node_helper.js was nothing to be changed. maybe I put a few semicolons where none have to go?

            sorry, forgot one thing i saw in node helper,… need to move everything in the start function to the socketNotification section… at start time the module is not up yet, so the message goes nowhere

            socketNotificationReceived(notification, payload) {		
            	var self = this		
            		// if config message from module
            		if (notification === "CONFIG") {
            			// save payload config info
            			this.config = payload;
            			var self = this;
            			console.log("Starting module helper: " + this.name);
            
            			// convert the csv-file into a JSON-String
            			const csvFilePath = this.path + '/birthdays.csv';
            			csv()
            			.fromFile(csvFilePath)
            			.then((jsonObj)=>{      
            				birthdaysArray = JSON.stringify(jsonObj);
            				
            				// for debugging only
            				console.log("birthdaysArray: ", JSON.stringify(birthdaysArray));
            				
            				// send data to [modulname].js
            				self.sendSocketNotification("have data", jsonObj);
            			})	
            		}
            		else if(notification === "????2") {
            		}
            	},
            

            also, by moving it here, all you have to do is fix the code, save and then refresh the page… don’t have to restart MM

            start is now empty

            	start() {
            	
            	},

              ok, nothing changed and i don’t see any messages of “HAVEDATA” (changed it in both files to big letter without space). i only see the header “Geburtstage” … :-(
              node_helper.js:

              var NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
              var moment = require("moment");
              
              // add require of other javascripot components here
              // var xxx = require('yyy'); here
              const csv = require("csvtojson");
              var birthdaysArray = [];
              
              module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
              /*
              	init(){
              		console.log("init module helper perlchamp");
              	},
              */
              	start() {
              
              	},
              /*	
              	stop(){
              		console.log("Stopping module helper: " + this.name);
              	},
              */
              	// handle messages from our module// each notification indicates a different messages
              	// payload is a data structure that is different per message.. up to you to design this
              	socketNotificationReceived(notification, payload) {				
              
              		var self = this;
              		console.log("Starting module helper: " + this.name);
              
              		// convert the csv-file into a JSON-String
              		const csvFilePath = this.path + '/data/birthdays.csv';
              		csv()
              		.fromFile(csvFilePath)
              		.then((jsonObj)=>{      
              			birthdaysArray = JSON.stringify(jsonObj);
              			
              			// send data to [modulname].js
              			self.sendSocketNotification("HAVEDATA", jsonObj);
              		})		
              
              		// if config message from module
              		if (notification === "CONFIG") {
              			// save payload config info
              			this.config = payload;
              			// wait 15 seconds, send a message back to module
              			setTimeout(()=> {this.sendSocketNotification("message_from_helper"," this is a test_message")}, 15000);
              		}
              		else if(notification === "????2") {
              	
              		}
              	},
              });
              

              maye change this part, cause i never need this variable birthdaysArray:

              .then((jsonObj)=>{      
              			birthdaysArray = JSON.stringify(jsonObj);

                no… it will do the thig every time a notifcation comes in, only want it when the module sends down a message (say it is alive)

                in node_help you are sending this “HAVEDATA”
                and in module you are looking for this if(notification === “HAVEDATE”){

                add a var self = this to start of socketNotificationReceived() and getDom()

                  @Perlchamp said in read csv-data and put it in an array:

                  if(birth_date.startOf(‘day’)

                  also should be

                  if(birth_date_moment.startOf('day')

                      @Perlchamp open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the mirror screen,
                      select console tab,
                      put perl in the filter field

                      select the sources tab, navigate the left nav tree,. to modules/perlchamp/perlcmap.js

                      find the socketnotificationreceived

                      click the number in the left column, hit f5 (refresh) on keyboard

                      code should stop at the line you clicked

                      in the right pane, top there is a blue arrow (resume executing) and a top half of a globe, stop on next )instruction)
