Automatic checking of all MagicMirror² modules
-
I don’t care if it is not updated or not as long as it works.
However, we can call someunmaintained-anymore
moduleslegacy
. Maybe a taglegacy
to some old modules be a good way to distinguish. By contrast, the other side might bemodern
.If possible, I wish for more features/rules for common
"modern"
modules. These could help automate the management of modules.-
Installer command/script/instruction
Some modules may need additional manual pre-requisition or dependency jobs (e.g. getting auth), but most of the modules would be possible to prepare simple scripts for installation. (inpackage.json
and specificinstaller
folder). If so, we can provide anauto-install/update
feature to MM. -
Basic default configuration example file.
If possible, adefault
config example would be a help for the newbie, and with that content,auto-configuration
would be possible in the installation stage.
Of course, there might beprivate-information
orAPI-Key
issues… -
Using
.env
to store private/secure information. (Or private.json something…)
To separate normal configuration from sophisticated private data (e.g., API Key, Account, password, etc.) , using.env
may be the option. It could be composed through an installation script if needed.
I wish we could have something like a
plugins market
orbundle store
of other applications. -

@MMRIZE I’d love to see a plugin store and/or marketplace of sorts. Some other projects uses NPM with a fancy front end web to do so, much like some modules use(d) a web interface to set up the initial config or adjust configs (Sam’s config module, MMM-RTSP, etc)
This would be an ideal marketplace (Simple, to the point, shows everything a user needs) :
Then when the user wants to config:
Homebridge is one of the better ways of doing things, IMO.
-
By the way, the verify system for them is to verify the module is stable, etc, once you get verified, you can advertise for donations within the system, this is why I have a red heart on mine. (all of my modules/plugins/etc I do I have a donation link for a charity I like)

@KristjanESPERANTO is the third-party modules site having issues? Currently seeing this:
-
@BerkSmash1984 seems OK
-
@sdetweil This is working for you too?

-
@BerkSmash1984 that one not working
-
@BerkSmash1984 I just fixed it. It was a mistake on my part and should not happen again :-)

@KristjanESPERANTO Awesome. Thanks for the response!
