openweathermap-ts

Build Status npm version Donate

An abstract layer over openWeatherMap APIs to simplify making calls. Built with TypeScript and Promises. Even the returned JSON responses are typed for your benefits!

Note: The library currently only supports free tier API services:

  • Current Weather
  • 3-hour Forecast. (5 day / 3 hour)

Installation

// install using npm
npm install openweathermap-ts

You will also need to register for an API key at the official site.

Basic Setup

const OpenWeatherMap = require('openweathermap-ts');
// or
import OpenWeatherMap from 'openweathermap-ts';

const openWeather = new OpenWeatherMap({
  apiKey: 'Your API Key'
});

Usage

There are 2 ways of using public getter methods.

  1. Pass in argument/s
  2. Store preferences in the location object

When both are used, the argument/s precede over the defined location object.

Notice some methods are grouped together with & because their arguments are the same. But they produce different results.


getCurrentWeatherByCityName & getThreeHourForecastByCityName

/**
 * @param {
 *  cityName: string,
 *  state?: string, // Spell it out. E.g, Texas
 *  countryCode?: CountryCodeType
 * }
 */
openWeather
  .getCurrentWeatherByCityName({
    cityName: 'Cedar Park'
  })
  .then((weather) => console.log('Weather object is', weather));

// or async await example
try {
  const weather = await openWeather.getThreeHourForecastByCityName({
    cityName: 'Cedar Park',
    state: 'Texas',
    countryCode: 'US'
  });
  console.log('Weather object is', weather);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error is ', error);
}

Or

// set the cityId in location object
openWeather.setCityId(1835848);

// invoke the method without an argument
