Is it possible to create an in-line if statement to control the formatting?

So, if the result, say @1 > 10 then color:red else color:green

At a first look, I would suggest to change the “format:” parameter in “sections” to support something like that:

[ 
  { range:[0, 10],     format: ' span style="color: yellow"%d /span' },
  { range:[10, undef], format: 'span style="color: red"%d /span' },
  { format: 'span style="color: green"%d /span' },
]

and to traverse the array and the first entry which matches wins. “undef” could mean “don’t care about this value” and an entry without range could be the “default” (which has to be the last entry).

What is your opinion: could this solve your problem?

{ range:[0, 10], format: ’ span style=“color: yellow”%d /span’ },
{ range:[10, undef], format: ‘span style=“color: red”%d /span’ },
{ format: ‘span style=“color: green”%d /span’ },

Thanks for the prompt reply… Seems my PI has gone offline and I am at work… so I will try this later and report back

@konradwalsh just to make it clear: it’s not implemented right now, just a quick draft for discussion about that feature ;-)

@Tuxdiver
yes of course
I feel confident in implementing it myself and see what I come up with…

I suppose it would be good to have a dynamic situation where it maybe a string.
For example, I am displaying my Hot Water Level. The result will be Low - Good - High.
So it maybe a case of comparing a string value and reacting… Low would be blue and high would be red

For the number values: just pull the current version from git, it should work now :-)

For your “low/good/high” example: if you deliver numbers to the module and use the mapping feature it should work with the new format option, because format will be set before the mapping takes place.
Otherwise replacing the “range” parameter with a “compare: ‘string’” could be a solution. I will have a look at that later ;-)

QUALITY!
Thanks my friend… looking forward to getting home and getting this going

OK, it’s finished.
Look at https://github.com/Tuxdiver/MMM-Rest/blob/master/README.md for an example of the new format option.

ah… very cool

konradwalsh

works perfectly
thanks!
