MMM-MyWastePickup (Toronto waste collection schedule)

[j.e.f.f]

This is a module to show your schedule for Toronto curbside waste collection.

For some reason I am getting an error when I do the npm-install

~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MyWasteCollection $ npm install
npm WARN mmmmywastepickup@1.0.0 No repository field.

I put the example config in and nothing shows up.

Also are the quotes right in the example config for collectionCalendar?

{
  module: 'MMM-MyWastePickup',
  position: 'top_left',
  header: 'My Waste Collection',
  config: {
    collectionCalendar: `Tuesday1`
  }
},

@onetwankyfive you can safely ignore the error you’re getting from npm install.

The back tick quotes in your config are incorrect. You need to use ' or " quotes.

It looks like my Readme is formatted incorrectly. I’ll fix it.

edit fixed now.

I was able to change the quotes, but it still doesn’t want to load for me. I even started with the default config so no other modules were being called, and still no luck. I am running the latest update of Magic Mirror.

@onetwankyfive Ugh… this is what happens when I don’t test my own install instructions…

the instructions said to clone a repository named MMM-MyWasteCollection, which is is what I originally named this module. Then I went and changed it to MMM-MyWastePickup but I didn’t update the README to match.

Blow away your MMM-MyWasteCollection directory and try the install again. The README now has the right repository to clone, and it should work for you.

Great Success!

Its Awesome that its just a csv file that I can edit to match my recycle / trash in my city…
I have wanted this for a while now!

@onetwankyfive glad to hear you got it working!

You know, you make an interesting point about it just being a CSV… how difficult did you find it to modify for your schedule? Maybe I’ll write a tutorial in the Readme for anyone who wants to do this.

It was pretty easy… Just imported into google sheets and Download as a CSV in google sheets… It automatically put everything in the correct fields. You could prob make a template in google sheets that people could make copy of and then edit and export. Thanks again!
