Error Node_helper custome Module

sdetweil

@Chiiki58 where are you building this module?? are the files located in a folder off the MagicMirror/modules folder??

we create alias entries to the includes for some things…

so your files have to be in the right place…

pupetteer is really about executing a web page, clicking, scrolling

you shouldn’t need that I don’t think…

cheerio will let you extract parts of the page and
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cheerio
https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-to-json-parser
html_to_json to convert them to json

also, see my sampleModule that has working node_helper.js
https://github.com/sdetweil/SampleModule

also, names matter… MagicMirror is case sensitive

and the link to the doc for module creators
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/development/introduction.html

@Chiiki58 also note the required files

module_name(in config.js) = folder_name = filename.js = register inside this file
all MUST MATCH exactly

your .js doesn’t have the register

css file name has to match the return from

getStyles: function

Chiiki58

@sdetweil Yeah of course I have everything in the right folder with the right name

I also had cheerio installed, I’ll have to check it out

I’ll try it with httptojson

Thank you very much, Sam

It works, thank you very much for the input. I’ll probably upload it to GIT once I get the layout right. Now I’ve just unstructured all the text from the website

@Chiiki58 awesome, glad you’re making progress.
