Changing MMM-Traffic into using TomTom API

[rxlDavid]

@sdetweil
Sorry, Tomtom provides a website which returns the data.
So it wasn’t my MagicMirror returning it

@rxldavid javascript provides a built in library call JSON

which provides 2 useful functions

parse (text) = converts to javascript object
stringify(object,routine(most if the time u would use null ),indentation ) = returns string of text

so then u could

console.log("mesage="+JSON.stringify(pointer_to_data_returned_from_api))

to see it on the console (or somefile.txt if u redirect to a file)

I do know I think this project is too hard for me lol
I now changed this:

  getCommute: function (api_url) {
    var self = this;
    fetch('https://api.tomtom.com/routing/1/calculateRoute/4x.xxx%2C9.xxx%3A4x.xxx%2C9.xx/json?avoid=unpavedRoads&key=<key>')
	  .then(console.log('API SUCESS')
      .then(json => {
        self.duration = Math.round(json.routes[0].duration / 60);
        self.errorMessage = self.errorDescription = undefined;
        self.loading = false;
        self.updateDom();
      })
      .catch(e => {
        self.errorMessage = payload.error.message;
        self.errorDescription = payload.error.description;
        self.loading = false;
        self.updateDom();
      });

  },

Now the "loading does not even appear I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but I cant even see my (console.log(‘API SUCESS’) in the .txt

@rxldavid ah, you are doing this in the modulename.js side, not node_helper…

all messages in the modulename are shown in the developers window console

ctrl-shift-i on the MM screen,

select the console tab in the window that pops up

u can filter to messages from a module by adding some unique part of the module name to the filter field (middle above the list of messages)

So I forgot to close a bracket, so now its again showing the Loading screen.
I get the following error:

What does the :69 mean?

Edit: this is line 69

 .catch(e => {
        Line 69 self.errorMessage = payload.error.message;
        self.errorDescription = payload.error.description;
        self.loading = false;
        self.updateDom();
      });

The Same Error accured for Line 70, so I both commented those 2 lines.
Now I get no Error, and the Loading disappeared, it now says:
