Help developing first module, displaying webscraped text.

@enderflop No one is going to call you an idiot. The very first error is easy because it cannot find the file you are trying to load.
what is mmpm.js? That’s the file it can’t find.
-
@enderflop nice start…
sorry, yuou can’t do require() in the browser side (dining-hall.js)
only n the server side (node_helper)so the layout looks right… and you’ve got the flow correct…
send request to node_helper
it processes, gets data
sends back to modulename.js
and then it does updateDom()
and getDom() builds the html /dom content… -
@cowboysdude mmpm is another module… disable that in config.js for now
module: mmpm,
disabled: true -
@enderflop i tested your module, a couple tiny changes
submitted a PR with the updates…
-
@sdetweil Hey, sorry for the late response. I accidentally took the screenshot of mmpm but the same error was coming up with dining-hall lol that’s a mistake. I’ll take a look at the PR and see how it goes, thanks!
-
Got it to work! Thanks for the PR @sdetweil and the example webscraping code @cowboysdude
-
@enderflop cool
key here is module name = foldername = filename = register name
and node_helper.js has to be in the same folder
