@buzzkc great thanks… I always thought that custom.css was a bad idea… every module should supply their own file as the getStyles() function provides the mechanism.

@crisvdn here is a link to the list work

i’ve just pinned it to the top of the Development section so it won’t get lost
(I couldn’t find it when I mentioned it the first time)

we have received notice from Openweather, that they are shutting down the version 2.5 weather endpoint in June 2024

see
https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3424

for the weather provided by MagicMirror, you will also have to change or add the apiVersion property

see the documentation for exact format
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html

@lilpkstud said in Creating Module with API Key/Secret:

JSON.stringify()

correct… u converted the object to a string… don’t need to do that

just pass the object from helper up to module …

then it will use the this.data.name

I have updated the module now to support multiple instances of the same module,
a little config (adding name to a file) … altho the module will auto detect if multiples are being used NOW, regardless of the file

ALSO, one lacking feature of this solution is being able to get the form exactly right… as the info is missing in the module data…

BUT i am creating the form info ANYHOW, so it can be saved and manually edited to improve the module experience, and I will use THAT instead of constructing the info every time…

this means u can add selection lists, and other features (very easily)
see the two issues for instructions

multi-module
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config/issues/2

and save and use schema file
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config/issues/11

@nrayever see my sample module,
https://github.com/sdetweil/SampleModule

and follow the module developers doc

@unfriendlydevice @mumblebaj

thanks guys.

send me text messages if u think I’ve missed some other troublesome users

@Schmaniel welcome to the fun. 900,000 details to consider. size color, font … css

@Ivanov_d OR the better way, never change files supplied by mm or a module(as this breaks upgrades or fix distribution). the system is designed to support your local changes

edit ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css
(if it doesn’t exist, create it)

add all those definitions but add the module name (and a space) in front of each

.MMM-HomeAssistant-Sensors

notice the leading dot

in node_helper.js

var NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')
// add require of other javascripot components here
// var xxx = require('yyy') here

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({


	// handle messages from our module// each notification indicates a different messages
	// payload is a data structure that is different per message.. up to you to design this
	socketNotificationReceived(notification, payload) {
		console.log(this.name + " received a socket notification: " + notification + " - Payload: " + payload);
		// if config message from module
		if (notification === "CONFIG") {
			// save payload config info
			this.config=payload
			let p = path.resolve('.','modules',this.name,this.config.filename)
			console.log("file="+p)
			fs.readFile(p, (error,filedata)=> {
			console.log("filedata="+filedata)
			let data =JSON.parse(filedata)
			this.sendSocketNotification('filedata', data)
			})
		}
	},
});
