var long = process.argv[3];
function printText(summary, temperature){
console.log(`${summary}, ` + (Math.round(temp.convert(temperature) * 10) / 10) + `°C`);
}
const request = https.get(`https://api.darksky.net/forecast/fef17a1918a4ea27dc36a500b292d1bb/${lat},${long}`, response => {
var body = "";
response.on('data', data => {
body += data;
});
response.on('end', data => {
var result = JSON.parse(body);
printText(result.currently.summary, result.currently.temperature);
});
});
temperature.js:
function convert(fahrenheit){
return (fahrenheit - 32) * 0.5556;
}
module.exports.convert = convert;
