@enderflop cool

key here is module name = foldername = filename = register name
and node_helper.js has to be in the same folder

@Dimasua there is a bug in GoogleMapsTraffic

I have an updated version that seems to work, and have submitted to the author, but they have not taken the fix.

try this
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic

@UncleRoger said in Config option with array of multiple values?:

great conversation topic

validSenders: [ { "mom@example.com", "Mom", "#ff0000" },
                { "dad@example.com", "Dad", "#00ff00" },
                { "son@example.com", "Son", "#0000ff" },
              ]

generally when you expand the number of items in an array to objects ({}) you start to get thinking about what happens if you decide to add another entry in the object…

so in javascript you can NAME the elements

validSenders: [ 
                {  name:"Mom", color:"#ff0000",url:"mom@example.com", },
                { url"dad@example.com", name:"Dad", color:"#00ff00" },
                {  name:"Son", url:"son@example.com",color:"#0000ff" },
              ]

that way the code is not sensitive to the order of the elements

     validSenders.forEach(sender =>{
             if (sender.name =="Dad") {
                  do_something(sender.url)
             }
     })

you can also use the array.filter() function

let selected_sender = validSenders.filter(sender=>{
      if(sender.url==mailObj.sender[0].address)
           return true
     else
           return false
 })
if(selected_sender.length>0){
    // we found a matching sender
}

the filter function passes each element array in turn to the function
if you want the element in the output array return true,
if not return false

on the combined statements you don’t need the backslash

if (that.config.validSenders.includes(mailObj.sender[0].address) && 
    daysAgo >= 0 && daysAgo <= that.config.daysToDisplay) {

but this is THREE comparisons

• that.config.validSenders.includes(mailObj.sender[0].address)
• daysAgo >= 0
• daysAgo <= that.config.daysToDisplay

the last two CANNOT be true at the same time

maybe what you wanted was

if (
     that.config.validSenders.includes(mailObj.sender[0].address) && 
    (daysAgo >= 0 && daysAgo <= that.config.daysToDisplay)  
     ) {

this is two outer compares (with one inner)

@spblat if the module has a node_helper.js, you need to restart MM for any changes to take place

@Tippon you can clone (fork) the module and add on what you want…

there are two parts of the module… the browser/ui part MMM-Fitbit2.js
and the helper, node_helper.js

the MMM-Fitbit2.js cannot access hardware or files directly, so it has to call the helper

so, you could add on access to the spreadsheet (csv)
and send that data back as part of the response… the front end would never know

one of my modules uses a csv

in the node_helper
(you have to npm install csvtojson in the module folder to be able to use it)

const cvt = require("csvtojson");

and then

                               cvt().fromFile(payload.tmpfile) // input xls  // changed to tmpfile
     				.subscribe((jsonObj, index) => { 
                                       // handle each row
                                   })

@Uwe-Kretsen do not install under mingw, just open a command prompt/ powershell prompt and do the git clone/npm install

u need git of course and node/npm (google how to install)

then u need to do some more steps as the setup is for linux

cd MagicMirror
cd vendor
npm install
cd ..
cd fonts
npm install
cd ..

then edit package.json and change the start line
from

		"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

to

		"start": "node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

then npm start works as expected

also, you must manually copy the MagicMirror/config/config.js.sample to the initial config.js
also create the empty MagicMirror/css/custom.css

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

@Envynot sounds like you are running on windows…
.
two extra steps

cd MagicMirror 
cd vendor
npm install
cd ..
cd fonts
npm install
cd ..

now u can start mm again

@dathbe you should list them , we can change the base at any time. there have been discussions to move away from moment.

we moved away from request, and etc,etc…

if you do require(x)
then you should list x in package.json

@wenike deprecated doesn’t mean no longer works… just means you “shouldn’t use it for NEW development”

SO, if its not loaded, YOU can still load it…

npm install valid-url

in whatever module needs it
