A small library to get weather data. Currently only supports OpenWeatherMap.
import Rainman from 'rainman';
const rainman = new Rainman({ key: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });
rainman.get([0, 0]).then(response => {
console.log(response);
});| option | type | required? | default | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| key | string | ✔ | You can get this from OpenWeatherMap. | |
| accuracy | number | 2 |
This rounds your latitude and longitude to the corresponding number of decimal places. e.g., [40.293480, -29.307948] will be rounded to [40.29, -29.31] at an accuracy of 2. This helps in caching requests and will work just fine if you don't need extremely specific weather data. |
|
| cache | boolean | true |
Turning this off will mean that no API calls will be cached. Turn off at your own risk, as you may be charged for extra API calls! | |
| ttl | number | 1 hour (60*60*60) | Time To Live for cached requests | |
| units | `'metric' | 'imperial'` | 'celcius' |
- Integrate extra services (Yahoo, DarkSky)
- Add a backup provider, in case the default provider times out
- Give the option to standardise API responses into a single object
