openweathermap-ts v1.2.10
openweathermap-ts
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.
- Pass in argument/s
- 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
