Can't edit compliments.js

mayfield

I’ve been reading through the documentation from here https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/compliments.html#configuration-options

Each time I add this to the config it stops working I’m obviously missing something.

{ 
                module: "compliments",
                position: "lower_third"
                config: { 
                compliments: { 
                anytime: [
                        "Hey Wren!"
                ],
                morning: [
                        "blah blah blah",
                        "blah blah blah",
                        "blah blah blah"
                ],
                afternoon: [
                        "blah blah blah",
                        "Yblah blah blah",
                        "blah blah blah"
                ],
                evening: [
                        "blah blah blah",
                        "blah blah blah",
                        "blah blah blah"
                ],
                "....-01-01": [
                        "Happy new year!"
                ]
        }
}
                },

Hi @mayfield,

Most of the times, commas are missing (here at least after the line with the position). Use the builtin function to check if it is valid…I use a website where you can enter the whole content of your config.js:

@thgmirror the built-in checker is

from the MagicMirror folder do

npm run config:check

thgmirror

@sdetweil I know:-)

@thgmirror typically ‘unexpected token’ means the line before was missing a trailing comma

Yes this was going to be another question I wanted to ask as that doesn’t work on mine and I’m not sure why yet

I followed this site to flash a SD card https://github.com/guysoft/MagicMirrorOS

and when I run that I get this I guess I need to install that
