npm install @poc967/[email protected]

Initialize the package and set the api key from darksky and mapquest

var api = new weatherAPI('yourDarkskyAPIKey', 'yourMapQuestAPIKey');

Make a call for current weather for a particular place by city, state, zip, or full address

api.getCurrentWeather('Boston').then((data) => console.log(data));

You can also make a call for a weekly forecast

api.getWeeklyForecast('Boston').then((data) => console.log(data));
