Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
how and where should I use the hide&show function offered by MM?
-
I tried to hide all other modules except the current module, but it seems does not work. I put my codes to hide other modules inside the start function of the current module.
Module.register("MMM-hideOtherModules",{ defaults:{}, start:function(){ setTimeout("shutOtherModule",5000); function shutOtherModule(){ MM.getModules().exceptModule(this).enumerate(function(module){ module.hide(); }) } }, //not important functions }
Could anyone help me with a sample module to hide other modules? Are there any place to learn about the inner structure of inter-modules communication except the doc?

turn on the developers console with Ctrl-Shift=i, or npm start dev, then you can use the console and sources tabs to see errors in the module.js and also put stops on code and look at the variables
as u found, the MM variable is only available in the module.js

codes&question updated
setTimeout(shutOtherModule(),10000); function shutOtherModule(){ MM.getModules().exceptModule(this).enumerate(function(module){ module.hide(); }) }
question:
When I put the above codes in start function, the module never hides other modules.
When I put the above codes in notificationReceived function and let MagicMirror do the codes after receiving “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED” notification, It seems that the module shuts down all modules including itself, leaving me with a blank mirror. -

It seems that MM is not available?
I tried to write shutOtherModule function in node-helper, and MagicMirror told me thatReferenceError: MM is not defined
How could I get access to MM object? Why my MagicMirror responded me with a blank mirror when the function is called after receiving “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED” notification?
-
Finally I deleted the node helper, it seems that MM functions does not work in node helper functions.
But the setTimeout function in notificationReceived function still does not work with “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED”. -

I use MMM-ModuleScheduler to show or hide modules. It works very simple out of the box.
