Plot data from a local CSV file

jhillairet

Dear all,

I’m storing locally on my raspberry some data fetched from other sources every minutes, and I would like to plot them dynamically on a magic mirror module. These data are like:

date1 time1 values1
date2 time2 values2
date3 time3 values3

While I’m OK in Python, I know nothing to Javascript. So I can format the .csv file to something else if needed, but I don’t know what module I can use to do the job.

Is anyone could indicate me how I could do that ? Many thanks in advance

Best regards,

sdetweil

@jhillairet see the 3rd party module list

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules

there is a json->graph module

Thank you. However, most (all?) appear not being developed any more (or only support bar graph), unless I’m missing something?.

@jhillairet yes, many modules no longer have current activity from their creator. they made them for their purposes…

I use chartjs for my covid 19 charting module, and other apps reading data from csv, but I don’t read generic csv files

Is your work available online?

@jhillairet I get all the data and format/filter in the node_helper, then send to the modulename.js to display.

as I support multiple instance the messages have the module indentifier to keep the data separated
