read csv-data and put it in an array

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp put a stop on the statement self.updateDom()

hit refresh, the code should stop there, then mouse over the this.active_birthdays a few lines up,
the debugger will surface the values

[Perlchamp]

displays the last row of the data-string, though the data from first to last are looped. for me it seems correct there …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp ok, put a stop on the 1st line of getDom()

it will be called before you get data, then your notification will be called
and then getdom() again… and u can watch it go thru the code

[Perlchamp]

yes it does … i changed innerText to innerHTML but nothing.

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp ok, inner HTML is when u are inserting html… my code inserts text…

did u have a position: in config definition for module?

		{
			module: "SampleModule",
			disabled: false, 
			position: 'middle',
			config: {
				days_forward:4,
			}
		}

[Perlchamp]

yes, top, but i will post it, moment:

		{
			module: 'perlchamp',
			position: 'top',
			header: "Geburtstage",
			config: {
				language: "de"
			}

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp i changed mine to top and all ok, did u walk thru the code in getdom? (hit next over and over)

put a stop on return wrapper and look at that object…

i have multiple names on the same date in my csv file
and also allowed look ahead a few days… so had entries for today and tuesday 5/5

[Perlchamp]

i clicked on the linenumber and the blue sign went to the last line, though i couldn’t hit line for line …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp next to the blue arrow (to the right) is a half circle with arrow at the end and dot under… that is the “Next” instruction button

[Perlchamp]

return wrapper. all entries undefined, aha.

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp on entry, check that the this.active_birthdays is still good

[Perlchamp]

i cannot place the blue sign on line 118 (cklicking on that number => run to last line …)

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp

see the circle net to the blue arrow

i don’t know where your 118 line is…
but go down or up

[Perlchamp]

it loops from first entry to last. if the last entry is displayed, it loops once and than going to self.updateDom … for me the correct way …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp in the getDom()

does it do the innerText statement? then the addChild()

to get any text on the screen, it has to do every statement at least once

[Perlchamp]

how said:
if i click on the linenumber of getDom: the blue arrow run to the last line. i can’t stop it or something else … it runs thru

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp i don’t understand

in code view, scroll down to getDom, next line, click the number to the left, turns blue

hit refresh

[Perlchamp]

all values “undefined”

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp this.active_brithdays undefined?

did u fix the names in the notification handler?

		if(notification === "have data"){

			var self = this
			Log.log(this.name + " received a socket notification: " + notification + " - Payload: " + payload);
			
			var now = moment();
			

			for(var birthday of payload) {
				// get 1st 5 chars of birthdate, thru month
				// we will use this as the key in the hash
				var birth_date = birthday.birth.substring(0,5);
				
				// get the birthday as a moment in this year, for comparing
				var birth_date_moment = moment(birth_date + now.year(),"DD.MMYYYY");

				// u can add days to a moment object and then compare 
				//     if the birthdate is before that date (and after now)
				//     so within the next xx days

				// if the date is the same or later, don't use time of day
				if(birth_date_moment.startOf('day').isSame(now.startOf('day'))) {

					// birthday is in this month
					// check the hash if we've seen anything for today yet
					// if we haven't see this date yet
					if(this.active_birthdays[birth_date] == undefined){
           
						//  create the holder for its info (array of 
						//		names) in the hash
						this.active_birthdays[birth_date] = [];
					}
					// save the persons name on the list
					this.active_birthdays[birth_date].push(birthday.name);
				}
			}
     
			// tell MM to call and get our content
			self.updateDom();
		}
