## Examples
### Retrieving data on a daily base

```
### Error handling
Due to the fact the plugin interact with external APIs provided by French government, external errors (missing records, connection errors..) are thrown to the node-red core. To handle the exceptions and program a new query, a __catch__ block must be added to the __node-red__ flow. Error details can be found in the exception message payload.

### Home Assistant Sensor
First open your sensor configuration file and add mqtt sensor:
```yaml
mqtt:
sensor:
- name: "frenchDaysData"
state_topic: "home/holidays"
value_template: '{{ value_json.schoolHolidaysName }}'
json_attributes_topic: "home/holidays"
json_attributes_template: '{{ value_json | tojson }}'
```
### Markdown
Add a [Markdown Card](https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/markdown/) on your dashboard and add the following code.
```javascript
{% if states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.isSchoolHolidays %}
__{{ states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.schoolHolidaysName }}__ en cours, fin le __{{ states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.schoolHolidaysEndDate }}__.
{% endif %}
Prochain Férié, le __{{ states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.nextPublicHolidayDate }}__, __{{ states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.nextPublicHolidayName }}__.
{% if states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.nextSchoolHolidaysName %}
Les prochaines Vacances scolaires pour la __{{ states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.zones }}__ sont les __{{ states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.nextSchoolHolidaysName }}__ du __{{ states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.nextSchoolHolidaysStartDate }}__ au __{{ states.sensor.frenchdaysdata.attributes.nextSchoolHolidaysEndDate }}__.
{% endif %}
```
