A dead simple Dark Sky API wrapper for Nodejs using method chaining and promises.
npm install dark-sky``Javascript`
npm install dark-sky --save
Javascript
const DarkSky = require('dark-sky')
const darksky = new DarkSky(process.env.DARK_SKY) // Your API KEY can be hardcoded, but I recommend setting it as an env variable.
// Example 1 - Method chaining, as promise.
darksky
.latitude('37.8267') \\ required: latitude, string || float.
.longitude(-122.423) \\ required: longitude, string || float.
.time('2016-01-28') \\ optional: date, string 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
.units('ca') \\ optional: units, string, refer to API documentation.
.language('en') \\ optional: language, string, refer to API documentation.
.exclude('minutely,daily') \\ optional: exclude, string || array, refer to API documentation.
.extendHourly(true) \\ optional: extend, boolean, refer to API documentation.
.get() \\ execute your get request.
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.log) \\ handle your error response.
// Example 2 - Setting coordinates shorthand, as promise.
darksky
.coordinates({lat: 37.8267, lng: -122.423})
.units('ca')
.language('en')
.exclude('minutely,daily')
.get()
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.log)
// Example 3 - Setting options shorthand, as promise.
darksky
.options({
latitude: 37.8267,
longitude: -122.423,
time: '2017-08-10',
language: 'en',
exclude: ['minutely', 'daily'],
extendHourly: true
})
.get()
.then(console.log)
// Example 4 - Modern endpoint example, as async/await.
app.use('/a-week-ago', async (req, res, next) => {
try {
const { latitude, longitude } = req.body
const forecast = await darksky
.options({
latitude,
longitude,
time: moment().subtract(1, 'weeks')
})
.get()
res.status(200).json(forecast)
} catch (err) {
next(err)
