yeh, but all this notification event handling really messes up the code i have which is all angular promise based.

I want to open my own browserwindow (show image), but u can’t do that in a module, only in a helper,
but then the window handle object needs to be stored inside the object which is managing the list of images for this ‘viewer’. that object is stored in the module… so, how do I transport the window handle object to the module… is the object valid in the other context (helper vs module).

see the topic ‘what can i do in a module’. (which u already have)

@idoodler

do you have any pointers to examples of websockets from the module? or your “other JS code” means some OTHER library of JS code…

looks like I would have to build another js class to wrap the ws services…(run the server side in the helper) cause I can’t require() in the module itself… load those classes via the scripts…

cool… that would allow my components to communicate in a synchronous mode…

not class variable (I got that now), but shared would solve a ton of problems.

the question was, how do you KNOW that music is playing? what code tells u?

I would expect the spotify playing module to do a sendNotification(“spotify_Playing”,something);

so that other modules might know… it does not do that (looking at the code)…

you could fork the existing code and add the 2 lines (one playing, one not) of code and submit an enhancement (pull) request to the module owner…

i have a lot of code running in another node/angular mirror app and have never seen this syntax…

thanks…

strange syntax tho…

@brenj said in Modules again.....:

                          timeFormat: int 60
                          fadeSpeed: int 5

the json data model is if text, then the data is quoted foo:“something”, if numeric, the data is not quoted, bar:60

no ‘int’

a module to show/hide would not be hard… but, how will you KNOW that spotify is playing (or has ended)…

does the spotify playing module send notifications of these events?

what is the model being used for both module and helper?

where and how do I declare variables? either global or instance? (not method variables)

in a helper if I declare outside the NodeHelper.create(…), they are truely global, and other helpers will overwrite my variables if the names collide.
