json result data to custom var

[ghost]

fixes #24, re #27

For more information please refer to #27

Testing

# within companion source folder

cd module-custom-dev
git clone https://github.com/abebeos/companion-module-generic-http.git
cd companion-module-generic-http
git checkout feat/i24-json-result-to-var
cd ..

yarn dev

Following screenshots show the get-request and the setvar on 2 buttons (this can be done with 1 button, too, adding 2 actions and possibly some delay)

(Post-Merge update re the instructions below: The setvar action was moved to the 'internal' module, see https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-module-bitfocus-companion/pull/50)

@JeffreyDavidsz before you pull it into companion, ill move the setvar action to the other repo

[JeffreyDavidsz]

just in time ;-)

[JeffreyDavidsz]

@Julusian I asumed you pull in the PR on the bitfocus-companion module?

[Julusian]

all merged into the builds now

[kjetilpp]

Will i get this update if running git pull in /usr/local/src/companion, or do i need to do something else? 😄

[Julusian]

@kjetilpp that depends on which version of companionpi you wrote to the sd card

It is possible that a sudo companion-update (which should be used rather than directly doing a git pull) will update to a version including this, but if your companionpi image is too old, it could be locked to either the 2.1 stable releases, or to the 2.2 stable releases.

[kjetilpp]

@Julusian thanks. Are running [2.2.0 (2.2.0+3998-ccea40c7)]

[Julusian]

Then it looks unlikely

You should be able to do a sudo git checkout beta in /usr/local/src/companion followed by sudo companion-update to do it.

Or wait a week for 2.2.1 to be released, as it will be included in that

Trying to use this with my companion install (3.2.2) HTTP Requests v2.1.6. I'm only seeing :

POST
GET
PUT
PATCH
DELETE

No HTTP SetVar or other way to parse JSOn.
And I'm not seeing documentation for this module, or where to go for more info. Any advice? Am new to companion, coming from streamdeck.
