# MMM-pages
|
|
|
|
This [MagicMirror²][mm] Module allows you to have pages in your magic mirror!
|
|
Want to have more modules in your magic mirror, but want to keep the format?
|
|
Or, want to have grouped modules that are themed together? Look no further!
|
|
|
|
[Click here to see an example of it in action!][example_url]
|
|
|
|
Note that this module does not provide any method of manually changing the page!
|
|
You should ask other developers to add a notification to their modules, or add
|
|
one yourself!
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
In your terminal, go to your MagicMirror's Module folder:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
|
|
```
|
|
Clone this repository:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/edward-shen/MMM-pages.git
|
|
```
|
|
Configure the module in your config.js file.

To display what page you're on, I'd highly recommend checking out my
|
|
[page indicator module][page indicator].

|
|
## Using the module
|
|
|
|
To use this module, add it to the modules array in the `config/config.js` file:
|
|
```js
|
|
modules: [
|
|
{
|
|
module: 'MMM-pages',
|
|
config: {
|
|
modules:
|
|
[[ "weatherforecast", "newsfeed"],
|
|
[ "calendar", "compliments" ]],
|
|
excludes: ["clock", "currentweather", "MMM-page-indicator"],
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration options
|
|
|
|
| Option | Type | Default Value | Description |
|
|
| --------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `modules` | `[[String...]...]` | `[]` | A 2D String array of what each module should be on which page. Notethat all entries must take their class name (e.g. this module's class name is `MMM-pages`, while the default modules may just have `newsfeed`, without the `MMM-` prefix. |
|
|
| `excludes` | `[String...]` | `["MMM-page-indicator"]` | Which modules should show up all the time. |
|
|
| `animationTime` | `int` | `1000` | Fading animation time. Set to `0` for instant change. Value is in milliseconds (1 second = 1000 milliseconds). |
|
|
| `rotationTime` | `int` | `0` | Time, in milliseconds, between automatic page changes. |
|
|
| `delayTime` | `int` | `0` | Time, in milliseconds, of how long should a manual page change linger before returning to automatic page changing. In other words, how long should the timer wait for after you manually change a page. This does include the animation time, so you may wish to increase it by a few seconds or so to account for the animation time. |
|
|
|
|
For the `module` configuration option, the first element of the outer array
|
|
should consist of elements that should be on the first page. The second element
|
|
should consist of elements that should be on the second page, and so forth.
|
|
|
|
## Regarding notifications
|
|
|
|
This module responds to the notification `PAGE_CHANGED`. The payload should be
|
|
an `integer`. Note that this has strict error checking, so `"3"` will not work,
|
|
while `3` will. Also do note that to switch to page 1, you need to send `0` to
|
|
the module. **This uses a zero-based numbering system.**
|
|
|
|
Let's say that you want to change the indicator to page 3. In your code, you
|
|
would write:
|
|
```js
|
|
this.sendNotification("PAGE_CHANGED", 2);
|
|
```
|
|
This would cause the module to change show that you are on page 3.
|
|
|
|
You can also just send `PAGE_INCREMENT` or `PAGE_DECREMENT` without any payloads
|
|
to have the module change the displayed page by one. If you attach a payload to
|
|
these commands, it will attempt to the nth next page or nth previous page.
|
|
|
|
This module keeps internal track of how many pages you have, defined by your
|
|
config in the config file. There is no way to dynamically change the pages you
|
|
have. If there arises a need, please create an issue.
|
|
|
|
This module sends one notification, `MAX_PAGES_CHANGED` to assist display
|
|
modules with how many pages they should display. However, this module does not
|
|
enforce what page other modules should indicate. This is intentional, because
|
|
any other module that needs a page change notification should be receiving from
|
|
the notification system.
|
|
|
|
Finally, if you want to know what page you're currently on, send a `QUERY_PAGE_NUMBER`
|
|
notification. The module will respond with a `PAGE_NUMBER_IS` notification,
|
|
with the payload of the current page number.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
- Help! My module is (above/below) another module in the same region but I want
|
|
it to be somewhere else!
|
|
|
|
The order of your `config.js` determines your module location. If you have two
|
|
modules, both with `position:bottom_bar`, the one that is first listed will
|
|
appear on top. The rest will appear in the same order you defined them in. If
|
|
you want this module to be at the very bottom, define this module as the last
|
|
module in your `config.js` file. If you want it to be on top in that region,
|
|
make sure no other module is defined before it that has the same region.
