@toh1000 Please post JSON response. I just spent a day trying to figure out why MM is so fickly regarding non-perfect JSON being sent over the socket. Loading JSON from a variable, just fine. Pushing the exact same JSON over a socket…had problems.

BTW. Is it correct that it says your JSON is GZIP encoded, no??

@vintage89 Please post the link to that guide… Thx

It would be useful and nice to have a light module that can display colored ANSI xterm shell output.
This would be particularly useful when running shell programs that is using terminal as its primary output.

I therefore propose to develop (unless already done?) a module called something like: MMM-Xterm for this purpose.

What are your thoughts?

[card:E3V3A/MMM-Tabulator]

Hi Guys!
I have finally completed my first module to demonstrate the use of Tabulator. Tabulator is an extremely flexible library to convert CSV, XML and JSON data into dynamic HTML tables.

• No more DOM writing
• No more HTML clutter
• Easy data modification, sorting and theming

In my MMM-Tabulator repo, there are two different versions, showing the same data.

1. In the native MagicMirror environment (and over server) and
2. Directly by loading embedded JSON via HTML from demo.html.

Cheers,
E:V:A

@raywo It’s now working and I’ve pushed all updates to repo. :)
My first module…that does nothing. :D

@raywo Hi Ray! Fantastic!! I just had a look at running your PR, and it works great! I also commented on the PR and the working Module will be pushed and ready in the next day or two. I was so close to giving up on this, so I am extremely grateful and in beer/food/wine debt to you. Thank you!

@ninjabreadman Fantastic! Again, the best explanation I’ve heard! I love that juice analogy!

Thank you so much for having patience with all my dumb questions. Surely a lot of them are trivial to most developers. (If you’re a moderator, feel free to mark this as solved.)

@ninjabreadman Aah! Finally. Thank you. That is the most sensible explanation I’ve seen.

@yawns I must be blind!?

I keep on seeing people adding their own functions in their MMM-Module.js.
Some people write:

  updateDomIfNeeded: function() {
  ...
  }

while others prefer to just write:

myfunction() {
...
}

What is the difference to MM, if any?
