Module programming preview, jsfiddle?

@washichi Interesting idea for the module. And glancing at your code you seem to be on the right track.

I may be not understanding what you trying Sublime Text to do. It’s just a text editor with ability to add various packages on top of it. It’s not a full blown IDE. I don’t believe that you can compile or preview the JavaScript module directly in Sublime.

My general workflow for module creation is something like this:

1. Create MMM-mymodule directory inside MagicMirror/modules
2. Open MagicMirror directory in sublime
3. Add barebones config for the module to modules array in config.js, for example:

{
	module: "MMM-mymodule",
	position: "bottom_right",
	config : {
		
	}
},

4. Start node serveronly and point my Chrome with dev tools open to the http://localhost:8080
5. Create/edit MagicMirror/modules/MMM-mymodule/MMM-mymodule.js, save it. (or other files that you need for the module)
6. Refresh the browser to pickup my changes, debug etc.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 as I go along. If adding/editing node_helper.js repeat steps 4-6 since node needs to pickup that file.

Some of restarts/refreshes can be automated on file save with different tools, but I’m not going to get into that right now.
