[ Solved ] [ Add module ] Need help with adding external npm module

Hi, I need your help about external module
I try to use faux-api-client and I added it in settings.js and restart.

Here is my function code :

var fauxapi = context.global.fauxapi;
console.log(fauxapi);
const client = new fauxapi ( 'https://192.168.1.1', 'PFFA6', 'qes1sgg81YuyC8s' );
msg.payload = client;
return msg;

I get this return in console


{ FauxApiClient: [Function: FauxApiClient] }


25 Mar 14:37:23 - [error] [function:6dd44643.560218] TypeError: fauxapi is not a constructor

I don't understand why.

Here is my settings.js :

    functionGlobalContext: {
        // os:require('os'),
        // octalbonescript:require('octalbonescript'),
        // jfive:require("johnny-five"),
        // j5board:require("johnny-five").Board({repl:false})
        fcm:require('fcm-node'),
        fauxapi:require('faux-api-client')
    },

fcm-node works great.

Thank you for your help

try:

var fauxapi = global.get("fauxapi");

and make sure you did the npm install faux-api-client from your nodered directory. Eg '~/.node-red' on a raspberry.

Yes I tried it too. I get the same result.
I'am sure it correctly install , I see it in package.json.

hmm i have no experience with projects. But in a normal environment the above definitely works for me :thinking:

5

I Don't understand because I did the same with fcm-node and it works.
Can it due to this package in particulary?

6

As I can see It need

import {FauxApiClient, IFauxApiResponse} from 'faux-api-client';

instead of require, does it can make any difference?

7

Ok I have found my mistake.
In this case I need to call :

const fauxapi = global.get("fauxapi.FauxApiClient");

Thanks for your help
