@ninjabreadman thanks for the guidance, the new modules is pretty complex, is there a simpler module to take an example from?

All I’m really after is the data produced from the trainSchedule function to be accessible by the getDom function.

Hi,

I’m trying to pass the value in the variable ajaxResult to the getDom function so that I can render it into a table.

I’ve tried to return the value from the start function but that comes up as undefined

How are values passed between these functions?

Thanks for the help in advance

`/* global Module */

Module.register(“trainScheduler”,{

// Default module config.
defaults: {
	text: "| --- | --- | --- | --- |"
},

currentWeatherType: "",

// Define required scripts.
getScripts: function() {
	return ["moment.js"];
},

// Define start sequence.
start: function() {
	Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);

	var ajaxResult; 

	// Log.info('RESULT' + ajaxResult);

	if (this.config.remoteFile != null) {			
		this.trainSchedule(
			(response) => {				
				this.config = JSON.parse(response);
				//function call to send the result to out!
				responseRunner(response);
				
			}
		);
		function responseRunner (response) {
			ajaxResult = response;
		};

	}

	// Schedule update timer.

	// LEMME COME BACK TO THIS AUTO REFERESHER THING

	// var self = this;
	// setInterval(function() {
	// 	self.updateDom(self.config.fadeSpeed);
	// }, this.config.updateInterval);
},

/* complimentFile(callback)
 * Retrieve a file from the local filesystem
 */
trainSchedule: function(callback) {
	var xobj = new XMLHttpRequest();
	xobj.overrideMimeType("application/json");
	xobj.open("GET", this.file(this.config.remoteFile), true);
	xobj.onreadystatechange = function() {
		if (xobj.readyState == 4 && xobj.status == "200") {
			callback(xobj.responseText);
		}
	};
	xobj.send(null);
	
},

// Override dom generator.
getDom: function() {

	var complimentText = 1;
	var compliment = document.createTextNode(complimentText);
	var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
	wrapper.className = this.config.classes ? this.config.classes : "thin xlarge bright";
	wrapper.appendChild(compliment);

	return wrapper;
},

});
