^

console.log("hello console");

=> hello console

ok, thanks a lot sam :-)
no i will try to play with it.

@sdetweil said in read csv-data and put it in an array:

u want to be IN that folder

you mean in my module folder? it’s called “MMM-birthdaylist” …

thanks a lot, i will try to “play” with it. can take some time …

that’s not what i wanted (writing code for me). my big problem is, not to know how i can start, how i can test code-snippets and so on …
i read some articles, but when i want to test some lines of code, i don’t know what to do. in my magicmirror module i can’t do that => error messages … i hope that i have expressed myself clearly and understandably …
if i have a code-snoppet, go to terminal and put in

node xxx.js

path not found, module not found, and many other error messages … maybe i soon despair …

shame on me. i didn’t install npm , tztztz …
ok, now it works fine …
the mistake i made before was to create an empty node_helper.js in my modul-folder, though the errors came …
how said, everything’s fine now, but i will have a lot of work writing a node_helper.js. i copied your node_helper.js (sample) ini my module-folder => no errors :-)
how said, i’m a noob and i don’t know, if i can handle this all to manage.

i want to code a small app, showing me the birthdays of the actual month. like this:

maybe you can be my tutor, taking my hands and help me …

so long
many thanks in advance

stay healthy
keep corona away

my old config doesn’t go either. something’s wrong. but what ?

may it need time to load the raw data?
i will start it, drink a coffee, will come back and see …

my config yet:

		{
			module:"MyCovid19",
			disabled:false,
			position:"top_left",
			classes: 'sam',			
			config:{
				countries:["Italy"],
				//countries:["Italy","USA","China","Spain", "France",'Sweden'],
				// line colors can be any definition of color either a name ,or a hex string
				// one per country above, used in order,
				//line_colors:['red','white','green','yellow','#34ebde','#34eb00'],
				line_colors:['white'],
				//				
				chart_type:"cumulative_deaths",  // or "cumulative deaths"
				chart_title:"cumulative deaths by country", // however u want to label
				// the vertical steps on the chart.. how tall u want it to be and how mant increments 
				ranges:{min:0,max:30000,stepSize:5000},
				// size of the chart in pixels
			    width: 400,
			    height: 400,	
			    // only used if we need to debug something
			    debug:false,
			    startDate:'02/01/2020'
			    //backgroundColor: 'white',
			},
		},

i did copy it, but doesn’t work yet. have i look on your code. is there a comma after the date. i think this shouldn’t be there. i deleted it, but still does not work => black screen

yes.
[“Italy”],

which one? in your corona ?

to include csvtojson i have to do the following ?

getScripts: function () {
		    return ["moment.js", "modules/" + this.name + "/node_modules/csvtojson/bin/csvtojson.js"];
		},

is that right ?
covid do not run … black screen, no loading message …

still loading …

{
			module: "MyCovid19",
			position: "top_right",
			config:{
				countries: "Italy",
			    //countries:["Italy","USA","China","Spain","France"],
                //OR
			    //states:['New York','Illinois','Texas'],

			    // one of countries or states MUST be specified

			    // line colors can be any definition of color either a name ,or a hex string
			    // one per country above, used in order,
			    //line_colors:['red','white','green','yellow','blue'],
			    line_colors: "white",
			    //				
			    chart_type:"cumulative_cases",  // or "cumulative deaths"
			    chart_title:"Cumulative Cases", // however u want to label
			    // the vertical steps on the chart.. how tall u want it to be and how mant increments
			    ranges:{min:0,max:8000,stepSize:10000},
			    // size of the chart in pixels
		        width: 400,
		        height: 500,
		        // only used if we need to debug something
		        debug:false,
		        startDate: "02/01/2020"
		    }
		},

in config.js i didn’t use the config section. i thought the defaults should be enough. ok, i will put the config section into the config.js. just a moment, please …

covid chart do not load :-(
