mini-owm

A wrapper around Open Weather Map's One Call Api.

Configure it via initialization, chaining, individual calls, or mix and match.

mini-owm also simplifies the Open Weather Api by:

  • defaulting to metric (who uses kelvin?)
  • applying the nested 1h property from rain and snow directly to those properties (who starts a json property with a number?)
    • i.e. instead of current.rain['1h'] the rain value is at current.rain
  • defaulting empty rain or snow to 0 instead of omitting (0 is better than undefined)

Install

npm install mini-owm

Required Params

To make a call to OpenWeatherMap you must provide an api key, latitude, and longitude. All other configuration is optional.

Constructor parameters

import MiniOwm, { Units } from 'mini-owm';
 
// constructor parameters are all optional
const api = new MiniOwm(
  '<your api key here>', // owm api key
  33.441792, // latitude
  -94.037689, // longitude
  'hourly,minutely' // exclude
  Units.Imperial, // units (default is 'metric' for mini-owm)
  'de' // language
);
 
api.get().then(res => {
  console.log(res);
});

Chaining

import MiniOwm from 'mini-owm';
const api = new MiniOwm();
api
  .apiKey('<your api key here>')
  .latitude(33.441792)
  .longitude(-94.037689)
  .exclude('hourly,minutely')
  .standard() // set units to standard (Kelvin)
  .imperial() // set units to imperial (Fahrenheit)
  .metric() // set units to metric (Celcius) - this is default for mini-owm
