n4m : maxAPI error
Oct 15 2019 | 3:23 pm
After a successful npm init and a mqtt module installation I'm not able to start my script and get this :
ReferenceError : maxAPI is not defined
I've added the npm path to File Preferences but it seems to be something else I can't handle for now.
Is there some specific initialization to do in the node_modules?
Any help is highly appreciated.
- Oct 16 2019 | 1:24 pmHave you tried to pull the maxApi library in you code? "const maxApi = require('max-api');"

Yes of course, here is the code const maxApi = require("max-api"); const mqtt = require("mqtt");let client;maxAPI.addHandler("connect",(url) => { client = mqtt.connect(url);client.on("connect", () => { maxApi.outlet("connected"); }) });maxApi.addHandler("publish", (message) => { [topic, value] = message.split(" "); console.log (topic, value); }); - Oct 16 2019 | 5:50 pmI noticed that you have maxAPI (API all caps) defined right after the "let client". I have found that syntax must be correct. Try changing it to maxApi (not all caps) and see it that fixes the error.
