openweathermap

openweathermap.js

A module to encapsulate OpenWeatherMap's One Call API and additional information shared by developers over the Automators.fm community.

Features

• Automatic location detection or custom coordinates
• Night time detection
• SFSymbol names for weather conditions
• Units information
• OpenWeatherMap icon urls

How to Use

Below are some example usage of the module.

Automatic location detection

To identify the coordinates of the current location

const API_KEY = 'your-api-key'
const owm = importModule('openweathermap.js')
const weatherData = await owm({appid: API_KEY})

Automatic location detection & reverse geocoding

This will also provide address information instead of just coordinates.

const API_KEY = 'your-api-key'
const owm = importModule('openweathermap.js')
const weatherData = await owm({appid: API_KEY, revgeocode:true})

Specified coordinates

const API_KEY = 'your-api-key'
const owm = importModule('openweathermap.js')
const weatherData = await owm({appid: API_KEY, lat: 37.32, lon: -122.03})

Localization

You can pass the pass lang and units as options to receive alternative results. Defaults are en and metric respectively.

const API_KEY = 'your-api-key'
const owm = importModule('openweathermap.js')
const weatherData = await owm({appid: API_KEY, lang: 'fr', units: 'metric'})

Additional Information

Units returned by the API depending on the units parameter. Information base from the Units of Measurement documentation.

.units: {
    temp 
    pressure:
    visibility
    wind_speed
    wind_gust
    rain
    snow
}

Any of the arguments passed when the function is called are available in the .args method

.args.appid
.args.location_name
.lat
.lon
.revgeocode
.lang
.units

Nighttime and SFSymbol information fields for the current and hourly data

• .is_night - boolean to signify whether the current condition is during night time
• .weather[0].sfsymbol - SFSymbol name to represent the weather conditions. This is an alternative to .weather[0].icon.
• .icon_url - the icon url provided by OpenWeatherMap

Example

• simple-weather-widget.js - a weather widget that uses this module.
