open-weather-image

open-weather-image is a image creation (base64 or buffer (png format)) to show current weather data of a provided area

Forecast data is loaded from OpenWeather API

The theme changes if it's daytime or nighttime as shown below

Or alternatively you can include it with a forecast

Optionally if you don't like the default colours, you can customise the theme (Only with solid colours, all arguments are optional, gradients will be added in future version)

Installation

npm:

npm install open-weather-image

bun:

bun add open-weather-image

Usage

First you will need to register and account on OpenWeather to obtain an API key

Recommended to put your API key as an environment variable.

How to Start OpenWeather

Basic Usage

You can output with a buffer or base64 string. Default: "buffer"

Base 64:

import { createWeatherImage } from 'open-weather-image';

const image = await createWeatherImageToday({
    key: process.env.WEATHER_API_KEY,
    cityName: 'Munich',
    output: 'base64',
});

Buffer:

import { createWeatherImage } from 'open-weather-image';

const image = await createWeatherImageToday({
    key: process.env.WEATHER_API_KEY,
    cityName: 'Munich',
    output: 'buffer',
});

With Metric Units

import { createWeatherImage } from 'open-weather-image';

const image = await createWeatherImageToday({
    key: process.env.WEATHER_API_KEY,
    cityName: 'Munich',
    units: 'metric',
});

With Imperial Units

Omitting the units property will use the preferred temperature unit of the target country.

import { createWeatherImage } from 'open-weather-image';

const image = await createWeatherImageToday({
    key: process.env.WEATHER_API_KEY,
    cityName: 'Springfield',
    stateCode: 'OR',
    countryCode: 'US',
    units: 'imperial',
});

With Forecast

import { createWeatherImage } from 'open-weather-image';

const image = await createWeatherImage({
    key: process.env.WEATHER_API_KEY,
    cityName: 'Munich',
    withForecast: true,
});

Choosing a Locale

Currently only English and German is supported, and tested with, feel free to contribute with other langauges within the i18n.ts file. Default: "en"

import { createWeatherImage } from "open-weather-image"

const image = await createWeatherImage({
    key: process.env.WEATHER_API_KEY,
    cityName: 'Munich',
    withForecast: true,
    locale: "de",
});
