read csv-data and put it in an array

[Perlchamp]

hi sam :-)
see my module-file. why i don’t get values for the Log.log(); statements ?

	// this is the major worker of the module, it provides the displayable content for this module
	getDom: function() {
		var self = this;
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		Log.log("this.active_birthdays >>>>> ", this.active_birthdays);

		for(var birthday of Object.keys(this.active_birthdays)) {
			for(var name of this.active_birthdays[birthday]) {
				var m = document.createElement("div");
				Log.log("BIRTHDAY >> " + birthday);
				Log.log("NAME >> " + name);
				m.innerText = birthday + " " + name;
				wrapper.appendChild(m);
			}
		}

		// pass the created content back to MM to add to DOM.
		return wrapper;
	}

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

  for(var birthday of Object.keys(this.active_birthdays)) {
  	for(var name of this.active_birthdays[birthday]) {

that means one of those two for loops didn’t execute, as the list is empty

do this

 			// tell MM to call and get our content
Log.log(JSON.stringify(this.active_birthdays))    // add this line
			self.updateDom();                          // before this line in the notification code..

and where i have to place it ?

@Perlchamp see my updated post above

[Perlchamp]

i get this for each entry (here i only posted one of them):

[2020-05-02 17:50:36.803] [LOG]    LOOK >>>>>>{} (/home/dirk/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Logging/node_helper.js:34 Class.socketNotificationReceived)

empty: {}

@Perlchamp ok, so the data collection didn’t work…

so I would step thru that code

what is the 1st row of your csv file? the column headers

[Perlchamp]

before you do this. stop. i make an error. the code you posted is not in the notification section. it’s in the getDom section … so i placed it there. was this wrong ?

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp there is NOT an this. updateDom() in the getDom() section…

still doesn’t change the result… there are no birthdays found that match 02/05

[Perlchamp]

the columns are:
birth, name

and is called “birthdays.csv”

the data are:
23.01.1987,Thomas Roth

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp so there are no birthdays for today… we are ONLY selecting for TODAY. not every day
