Clima - JavaScript

Introduction

Clima is a JavaScript library that provides a simple and easy-to-use way to access weather information. It uses the OpenWeatherMap API to fetch weather data and returns the data in JSON format.

Installation

To use Clima in your JavaScript project, you can install it using npm:

npm install clima

Alternatively, you can include it in your HTML file like this:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/clima@latest/dist/clima.min.js"></script>

Usage

To use Clima, you first need to get an API key from OpenWeatherMap. You can sign up for a free account here.

Once you have your API key, you can create a new instance of Clima and use it to fetch weather data for a specific location:

const clima = new Clima({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

clima.getWeatherByCityName('San Francisco')
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

This will fetch the current weather data for San Francisco and log it to the console.

You can also fetch weather data by latitude and longitude, or by ZIP code:

clima.getWeatherByCoordinates({ lat: 37.7749, lon: -122.4194 })
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

clima.getWeatherByZipCode(94102)
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

Data Format

The weather data returned by Clima is in JSON format and includes the following information:

• name: The name of the location
• coord: The latitude and longitude of the location
• weather: An array of weather conditions, including an ID, main description, and icon
• main: Various temperature and weather-related information, including temperature, pressure, humidity, minimum and maximum temperature, and more
• wind: Wind-related information, including speed and direction
• clouds: Cloud-related information, including cloudiness percentage
• rain: Rain-related information, including volume for the last hour and last 3 hours (if available)
• snow: Snow-related information, including volume for the last hour and last 3 hours (if available)
• dt: The timestamp of the weather data
• sys: Miscellaneous information, including country code, sunrise and sunset timestamps, and more

Conclusion

Clima is a simple yet powerful JavaScript library for fetching weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API. Its user-friendly interface and wide range of customization options allow developers to easily integrate weather information into their applications.
