Javascript module wrapped around the OpenWeatherMap.org APIs for free servicies (getForecast4Days() works only with pro services). First step to use the module is get OpenWeatherMap.org API key, request a APPID (API Key) on http://openweathermap.org/appid and start to get the weather data!
Follow the official site for more info about OpenWeather, and here if you want more info about the APIs.

Like all node packages, install and mange operation are done by npm (use the -s if you want save the package in the package.json file):
npm install @cicciosgamino/openweather-apis
# install and save dependency in package.json
npm install @cicciosgamino/openweather-apis --save
# global installation
npm install -g @cicciosgamino/openweather-apisInstall the package with npm, import the class you need:
import { AsyncWeather } from '@cicciosgamino/openweather-apis'
const weatherInstance = await new AsyncWeather()
// retrieve the Api Key from OS env
const apiKey = process.env['OPENWEATHER_API_KEY'] || ''
// or copy the Api Key into
const apiKey = 'sdgfd5g5f46...your_api_key_here'
// You can use lang parameter to get the output in your language.
// The contents of the description field will be translated.
weather.setLang('it')
// weather.getLang() '' get the language

// request the actual temperature [°C] of the location
weather.getTemperature()
.then(result => console.log(`${typeof result} ${result}`)) // number 23.48
.catch(error => console.log(error))
// request the actual pressure [hPa] of the location
weather.getPressure()
.then(result => console.log(`${typeof result} ${result}`)) // number 1023
.catch(error => console.log(error))
// request the actual humidity [%] of the location
weather.getHumidity()
.then(result => console.log(`${typeof result} ${result}`)) // number 51
.catch(error => console.log(error))
// request the weather title
weather.getTitle()
.then(result => console.log(`${typeof result} ${result}`)) // string clear

'Error: Response Code 401 >> Invalid API key. Please see http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info.'
// Use Async / Await

}The module can be used in the browser too. In the example you can see an easy example of Web Component build with Lit that use the module to retrieve the weather data:
import { LitElement, html } from 'lit'
import { resolvePromise } from '../directive/resolve-promise'
import { AsyncWeather } from '../index.js'
class OpenweatherApis extends LitElement {
static get properties () {
return {
temp: Number,
apiKey: String,
weatherAPI: Object
}
}
constructor () {
super()
new AsyncWeather().then(w => {
this.weatherAPI = w
// set the apiKey
this.weatherAPI.setApiKey(this.apiKey)
})
}
render () {
return html`
Bergamo >>
${this.weatherAPI
? resolvePromise(this.weatherAPI.getTemperature())
: '...'}°C -
${this.weatherAPI
? resolvePromise(this.weatherAPI.getDescription())
: '...'}
`
}
}
customElements.define('openweather-apis', OpenweatherApis)Comming Soon the WebComponent openweather-apis-element build wih Lit.
Commons Errors Error: Response Code 401 >> Invalid API key. Please see http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info.
The package is tested with mocha and chai. You can find the tests in the /test folder. If you need more tests on module open an issue on the github repo (THANKS).
