@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

@JohnBachini what a pain

try this

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-synology-ds/node_modules/mmmagic
# force rebuild to the version of node electron is running
~/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

try again

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

and follow the module developers doc

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)
			})
		}
	},
});

@blake_northrup because u installed on windows, there are a couple extra steps

cd MagicMirror
cd vendor
npm install
cd …\fonts. 2dots
npm install
cd … 2dot

the npm start

this phone editor will not let me enter 2 dots, displays as 3
