Using the module

This is an example configuration for your config/config.js file:

let config = {
  modules: [
    // TABLE VIEW CONFIG
    {
      module: 'MMM-TheSpaceDevs',
      position: 'bottom_right',
      config: {
        updateInterval: (60 * 60 * 1000) / 15,
        records: 5,
        type: 'table',
        locationIds: [11],
        headerText: 'Vandenberg Space Force Base - Launches',
      },
    },
    // DETAIL VIEW CONFIG
    {
      module: 'MMM-TheSpaceDevs',
      position: 'middle_center',
      config: {
        updateInterval: (60 * 60 * 1000) / 15,
        type: 'detail',
        locationIds: [11],
        width: 500,
      },
    },
  ],
};

Configuration options (all are optional see MMM-TheSpaceDevs.js for defaults)

Option	Description
records	# of launches you want returned from the api for table view. Between 1 - 7 looks best
updateInterval	How often you want to fetch data from the API in ms. Default is 15 times per hour
apiKey	Add apiKey for increased API rate limits visit TheSpaceDevs for more info
type	Template to view. "detail" or "table"
locationIds	An array of locationId integers you want data from. If no location is provided you will recieve launch data from all locations
headerText	Text you want to add to your header for table view
width	Width is used for the detail template.

Important

1. TheSpaceDevs API is free to use but capped at 15 api calls per hour for unauthenticated users. This is important if you want to add both the detail view and table view to your magic mirror. Each module will make its own API call so set your updateIntervals accordingly. The default for this module is 15 api calls per hour which assumes you will only be using the table or detail view.
