MMM-Skolmaten

A MagicMirror² module that shows school lunch menus in Sweden from www.skolmaten.se.

Installation

1. Clone repo:

 cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
 git clone https://github.com/retroflex/MMM-Skolmaten

2. Install dependencies:

 cd MMM-Skolmaten
 npm install

3. Add the module to the ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js, example:

  {
   module: 'MMM-Skolmaten',
   header: 'Furuhällskolan',
   position: 'bottom_right',
   config: {
    url: 'https://skolmaten.se/furuhallskolan/rss/'
   }
  },

Configuration

Using the https://skolmaten.se/furuhallskolan/rss/ URL will show lunch for the next seven days (including today).

You can choose how many days should be shown by using another URL, although I haven't tested that. More info here: https://skolmaten.se/about/rss/furuhallskolan/

Update

Go to the module’s folder inside MagicMirror modules folder and pull the latest version from GitHub and install:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Skolmaten
git pull
npm install

Details

This module simply shows an RSS feed, with some limitations (which are not a problem with skolmaten.se):

1. Hard coded to update RSS feed once an hour.
2. Always shows all entries in the RSS feed.
3. Hard coded in Swedish.

I still wanted to keep this as a separate module instead of a generic RSS module, too keep things simple and allow for future specific features.

To Do

Handle invalid URL's.
