      @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…

            @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!

                @enderflop cool

                key here is module name = foldername = filename = register name
                and node_helper.js has to be in the same folder
