OWMW: Open Weather Map Wrapper

OWMW is an acronym for Open Weather Map Wrapper. With OWMW you can easily gather data about the weather in the area. All you need is a (free) token from OWM.

Installation

To install OWMW, you can use VPM.

$ v install Bowero.owmw

Please note: Due to a bug, you will have to rename the folder to bowero.riv. So no uppercases.

Quickstart

module main

import bowero.owmw

const (
    token = 'TOKEN'
)

fn main() {
    w := owmw.start(Token, 1)
    city := w.city_by_name('Rotterdam')
    println(city.temperature())
}

$ v run test.v 
30.129999

As you see, it is hot nowadays.

Commands

To start, you will have to initialize the wrapper with your token:

w := owmw.start(Token, metric)

If you prefer the imperial system, you pass 0 to metric. For metric systems you pass 1.

After initializing, you can store a city:

city := owmw.city_by_name('Rotterdam')
city := owmw.city_by_id(2747891)

A list with the IDs can be found on the website of Open Weather Map.

After selecting a city, you can gather data from it.

Available data

I am still developing this wrapper, but I wanted to share this before version 1. Be aware that this is an alpha stage and that many things are still missing.

• Coordinates

  • .longitude(): The longitude of the city as f32
  • .latitude(): The latitude of the city as f32

• Weather (An overview of these values can be found here)

  • .condition_id(): The condition ID of the weather as int
  • .description(): The description of the weather as string, can also be determined from the .condition_id()
  • .description_long(): The detailed description of the weather as string, can also be determined from the .condition_id()
  • .icon(): The icon of the weather as string, can also be determined from the .condition_id()

• Main

  • .temperature(): The current temperature as f32
  • .pressure(): The air pressure as int
  • .humidity(): The humidity percentage as int
  • .min_temperature(): The minimum temperature as f32
  • .max_temperature(): The maximum temperature as f32

• Wind

  • .wind_speed(): The wind speed as f32
  • .wind_degrees(): The wind direction in meteorical degrees as int

• City

  • .city_id(): The ID of the city as int
  • .city_name(): The name of the city as string
  • .country(): The name of the country of the city as string
  • .sunrise(): The UNIX timestamp of the sunrise as int
  • .sunset(): The UNIX timestamp of the sunset as int

• Miscellaneous

  • .visible_meters(): The visibility in meters as int
  • .cloudiness(): The cloudiness as percentage as int
  • .data_calculation(): The UNIX timestamp at which the data has been calculated as int
