Include from /modules/node_modules/

[mortenbirkelund]

I have a js script that I would like to include into my module. I have installed it into the modules/node_modules/ folder by running “npm install swiper”.

How do i include this script into my module, so I can start using it?

@mortenbirkelund you should install that in your module directory

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MYMODULE then npm install swiper, but I suggest to do npm init first and then ````npm install --save swiper``` if you intend to publish your module

I am pretty sure that I did install it in my modules directory but I will try your suggestion. Thanks for a quick reply. Awesome forum

@strawberry-3.141 Perfect. I now have the module in a node_module folder located inside the module folder.
But how do i include this module into my code?

	getScripts: function() {
		return [
			"moment.js","package.js"
		];
	},

this is not wokring as i get an 404 error

@mortenbirkelund you have to give the path starting from your module directory something like this "node_modules/swiper/.../.../package.js"

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks. I thought that MM would automatically look in the node_module folder. It is working now.

@mortenbirkelund that happens only in the node_helper
