morphatic / astrologyjs Goto Github PK

In the ReadMe is says: “Chart data is loaded from a remote online ephemeris REST service.” Where does the ephemeris originate from (source)? This is more a question of curiosity.

A related and more significant question since I’m looking into using this as a module in an app, is: Is this service guaranteed to be offered in the future (reliability), and if so, for free (cost)? I would be unable to use this module if there’ll be a significant cost associated to it or if at some point the service is terminated.

Thank you!

Hi! I pulled your npm module, did a simple var chart = require('astrologyjs').Chart, and tried to run a basic nodejs server, and got a slew of issues.

1. You should tell people what version of node is required--I was on an older version and got the let keyword not currently supported error.
   2)Your production code currently is not complied for node-- after getting around the node version issue, I got 'unexpected token export' error. I was forced to download babel and a couple of babels friends, run babel node-modules/astrologyjs/dist/astrologyjs.js to compile your file into my own script file, and then import that new file. Consequently, I had to copy your dependency of request-promise.

After all that, I finally could get a server running without even attempting to use your code, just import it.

I could be missing something basic, but since your readme doesn't say I needed any config or setup, I didn't think importing would be an issue. Please update your readme to explain how to install, or let me know if I've made a silly mistake.

Excited to use it!

Attempting to create a chart results in response "Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0", apparently it is returning an html document and the chart creator is not prepared for that. Seems like the REST source is compromised.

can i use it under React Native ?

Followed your example and got the following error, using both a test version (on localhost:3000) and on a website (with https://). Might you know how to work around it?
