Problems With Weather

@mykle1 I see the edit but now I’m wondering if the issue you and Brendan are experiencing are related to this old bug that was fixed last year and maybe it came back? Or that code could be a workaround until the fix next month.

Well, I’m not going to do that because the module is deprecated. Doesn’t make much sense to me. If you feel the need, have at it. :-)

How do I run the mirror from within the directory?

Open a terminal
Change directory to MagicMirror. Usually done by cd MagicMirror unless you installed somewhere else.
Then npm start

MagicMirror is a web page (see index.html) loaded by a browser (electron)

the main core of mm is a JavaScript wrapper around standard dynamic html, which allows api calls to manipulate the web page (DOM) content.

there are predefined areas (positions) for scripts (modules) to place their content in.
the mm runtime calls the module to get it’s content contribution. and then puts that content in the position defined for this module (in config.js module entry)

all content is provided by module entries in config.js otherwise the page is empty ( see index.html)

some additional functions are provided by the runtime.

inter module communications, by way of typeless broadcast messages. the receiver must understand and handle the data format of any message it proposes to process.

due to browser security constraints, a module (running in the browser) cannot access the file system or any hardware.

so a ‘server’ side module component is launched in the background, ‘node_helper’… which CAN , and communications are supported between the helper and the browser module code, in a similar way as between modules. except the flow is only between the module and ITS helper.

the implementation of the helper/module communications supports messaging over networks, so the helper is where the ‘server’ is and the browser can be where the user is… the browser can be any es6 or above browser

electron chrome firefox edge…

as it’s a web page all the standard css techniques are available to style the content, by module or collectively…
