read csv-data and put it in an array

[Perlchamp]

in config.js i didn’t use the config section. i thought the defaults should be enough. ok, i will put the config section into the config.js. just a moment, please …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp no… I don’t pick any countries or states, or describe how big the charts should be…
try this

		{
			module:"MyCovid19",
			disabled:false,
			position:"top_left",
			classes: 'sam',			
			config:{
				countries:["Italy","USA","China","Spain", "France",'Sweden'],
				// line colors can be any definition of color either a name ,or a hex string
				// one per country above, used in order,
				line_colors:['red','white','green','yellow','#34ebde','#34eb00'],
				//				
				chart_type:"cumulative_deaths",  // or "cumulative deaths"
				chart_title:"cumulative deaths by country", // however u want to label
				// the vertical steps on the chart.. how tall u want it to be and how mant increments 
				ranges:{min:0,max:30000,stepSize:5000},
				// size of the chart in pixels
			    width: 400,
			    height: 400,	
			    // only used if we need to debug something
			    debug:false,
			    startDate:'02/01/2020',
			    //backgroundColor: 'white',
			},
		},	

[Perlchamp]

still loading …

{
			module: "MyCovid19",
			position: "top_right",
			config:{
				countries: "Italy",
			    //countries:["Italy","USA","China","Spain","France"],
                //OR
			    //states:['New York','Illinois','Texas'],

			    // one of countries or states MUST be specified

			    // line colors can be any definition of color either a name ,or a hex string

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

  		countries: "Italy",

must be an array countries : [ ‘Italy’ ] ,

[Perlchamp]

to include csvtojson i have to do the following ?

getScripts: function () {
		    return ["moment.js", "modules/" + this.name + "/node_modules/csvtojson/bin/csvtojson.js"];
		},

is that right ?
covid do not run … black screen, no loading message …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp no… see the node_helper.js

you cannot use the csvtojson in the modulename.js

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp did u use my config info above? just to make it work

[Perlchamp]

yes.
[“Italy”],

which one? in your corona ?

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp i provided a complete working sample for my module above… copy/paste it into your config.js

[Perlchamp]

i did copy it, but doesn’t work yet. have i look on your code. is there a comma after the date. i think this shouldn’t be there. i deleted it, but still does not work => black screen

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp you copied all this exactly, right?

{
			module:"MyCovid19",
			disabled:false,
			position:"top_left",
			classes: 'sam',			
			config:{
				countries:["Italy","USA","China","Spain", "France",'Sweden'],
				// line colors can be any definition of color either a name ,or a hex string
				// one per country above, used in order,
				line_colors:['red','white','green','yellow','#34ebde','#34eb00'],
				//				
				chart_type:"cumulative_deaths",  // or "cumulative deaths"
				chart_title:"cumulative deaths by country", // however u want to label
				// the vertical steps on the chart.. how tall u want it to be and how mant increments 
				ranges:{min:0,max:30000,stepSize:5000},
				// size of the chart in pixels
			    width: 400,
			    height: 400,	
			    // only used if we need to debug something
			    debug:false,
			    startDate:'02/01/2020',
			    //backgroundColor: 'white',
			},
		},	

[Perlchamp]

my config yet:

		{
			module:"MyCovid19",
			disabled:false,
			position:"top_left",
			classes: 'sam',			
			config:{
				countries:["Italy"],
				//countries:["Italy","USA","China","Spain", "France",'Sweden'],

			    debug:false,

			    //backgroundColor: 'white',
			},
		},

@Perlchamp I used yours exactly, and works

[Perlchamp]

may it need time to load the raw data?
i will start it, drink a coffee, will come back and see …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp raw data is the csv file from the source

it should be there within a few seconds…

[sdetweil]

I will be busy for next few hours with grandson

[Perlchamp]

my old config doesn’t go either. something’s wrong. but what ?

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp did you do the npm install in my module folder per the instructions?

[Perlchamp]

shame on me. i didn’t install npm , tztztz …
ok, now it works fine …
the mistake i made before was to create an empty node_helper.js in my modul-folder, though the errors came …
how said, everything’s fine now, but i will have a lot of work writing a node_helper.js. i copied your node_helper.js (sample) ini my module-folder => no errors :-)
how said, i’m a noob and i don’t know, if i can handle this all to manage.

i want to code a small app, showing me the birthdays of the actual month. like this:

maybe you can be my tutor, taking my hands and help me …

so long
many thanks in advance

stay healthy
keep corona away

there is a minimum set of stuff to do… its not small if you don’t understand the stuff…
I will answer questions and teach a little of the structure… I won’t write anything for you.
