Json to Custom Frontend Device Template

---

Hello,

i need some help while developing the pimatic-dwd plugin and hope someone of you can answer me a question and give me a hint.

In the plugins main script i read a json file from a server and give this parsed to the device instances.
Now i am trying to push this json data to the frontend to render it here with knockout, but i do not unterstand how i can get something different (JSON) than a number or a string to the frontends js device class.

My target is to show the informations from the “Deutscher Wetter Dienst” as table in the frontend.

I hope someone here can give me a hint in this question.

Regards.

@fbeek I asked the same thing in the forum but nobody answered.
I solved by creating a variable in the plugin, imported into the template.coffee and processed and then display it in html.
I imagine there is a better solution, but I do not know

@fbeek if you want to look in my chronotherm plugin, the variable is called “perweb”

Hello Zacca,

thanks for your reply.
I know have found a solution for this. I store the data json encoded in an device attribute and on the client side i decode the data on update and render them via knockout foreach.

I thin you can use a similar approach via ko.obserableArray.

Regards fbeek

found

In this way the variable is displayed in pimatic-variables
Confirm?

Yes but as JSON.
