Basically yes, that’s what I’m trying to do. Would that work, assuming I set it up as a new module according to the guidelines you sent earlier? (thank you by the way, that helped a lot).
Essentially I’m just trying to be able to pull data from my MongoDB (I will probably roll this into its own module – right now I’ve committed the sin of modifying app.js directly until I get my bearings). Then use the Mongo data to populate data in other modules (think Hello World, Compliments, etc.).
It sounds like I will need to create a second module that essentially takes my Mongo data and sends it in the form of a JSON object variable to other modules using sendNotification() and then have them update the DOM to reflect the change. I know there are some nuances, but for the sake of brevity, am I generalizing/thinking about it correctly?
