Unable to Run the Head first developing MM module for extreme beginners :(

  • S

    Hi,

    I’m absolute beginner to developing Magic Mirror Modules, but I’m ver keen and eager to learn and develop them. I started to follow the tutorial available at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8534/head-first-developing-mm-module-for-extreme-beginners. but the problem here I’m facing is as below. I did a git pull and installed the dependencies. when I did a node serveronly and firing up my chrome browser and heading to the localhost:8080, I’m able to see the clock, compliments, etc… (defaults provided). And as per the tutorial, I went till the getDom() step, and I tried running it, And when I went to my browser and refreshed the window, to my surprise, nothing is shown up, not even Hello, World!, I went to the developer console and searched for myContent, there is no such div created with such class name. ☹

    Config.js

var config = {
	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
	// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
	// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
	// - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
	// Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

	language: "en",
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: "metric",

	modules: [
		{
			module: "MMM-Test",
			position: "top_left"
		},
	]

};

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== "undefined") { module.exports = config; }

    MMM-Test.js

    Module.register("MMM-Timetable", {
  defaults: {},
  start: function () {},
getDom: function() {
  var element = document.createElement("div")
  element.className = "myContent"
  element.innerHTML = "Hello, World!"
  return element
},
notificationReceived: function() {},
  socketNotificationReceived: function() {},
})

    and my developer console output is as below.

    Sorry for my dumbest question guys ☹. I got it working, changed Module.register("MMM-Timetable", to Module.register("MMM-Test", and its working fine.

    Thanks,
    Sunny
