      Hi everyone! Now i started to use magicMirror and want to build my simple custom module to indncate somrthing (traffic load at now).
      I wrote a scrypt

      var text1 = "";
      var text2 = "";
      var text3 = "";
      var htmlpage = 'https://www.yandex.ru';
      
      var request = require('request');
      var DomParser = require('dom-parser');
      var parser = new DomParser();
      var dom;
      setInterval(function() {
      request(htmlpage, function(error, response, body) {
      dom = parser.parseFromString(body);
      text1 = dom.getElementsByClassName('traffic i-bem')[0].innerHTML;
      
      dom = parser.parseFromString(text1);
      text2 = dom.getElementsByTagName('H1')[0].innerHTML;
      dom = parser.parseFromString(text2);
      text3 = dom.getElementsByClassName('link link_black_yes')[0].textContent });
      }, 1000);
      

      request and dom-parser eas intalled.
      Then i get text data string and i want to set it into the Hello world module next.

      I added my scrypt code into the module code here:

      getDom: function() {
         var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
         wrapper.innerHTML = this.config.text;
         return wrapper;
      }
      

      But it doesnt work (request and parser modules). Otherwise, just counting number works well(((.

      Could not you help me, what i have to do to get my scrypt working inside helloworld module?

        @roma-cezar you need to put your code into a node_helper as it is based on node dependencies. Then you can communicate via sockets between the helper and the module. you can have a look in other modules which have a node_helper file how the communication works. also you can have a look in the developer guide here https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/modules/README.md

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
