I am trying to run something like:
var x = require(‘sqlite3’)
but I always get the error:
‘Script Error: Error: The file “sqlite3” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.’
I have tried installing the module globally using:
npm install -g ‘sqlite3’
which works and (on my MacBook) installs it in /usr/local/lib/node_modules, but still gives the error.
Where am I going wrong?
Require for Drafts scripting work is as set out here.
Note that node.jsis not a core part of JavaScript or part of Drafts, so you need to use a non-node version in Drafts.
Ahhh. Thank you very much. For some reason I made the dumb assumption that I could run Node stuff. Thanks very much.
If you have Node on your system, you can interact with it via the ShellScript object in scripts - triggering scripts and getting results.
That is very clever. Thank you. What I assume you mean is to create a shell script that runs a node script and returns the results that can then be used in Drafts in another Javascript script.
BTW Love your application. Plan on using it a massive amount this year. Listened to your Automators podcast 2-3 times!!!
