The app I am working on has multiple markers on the page and I would love to be able to get the layer data after moving the time slider for those markers based on the LatLon of the markers. I have tried on redrawFinished to move the picker around to the spots to get the layer data but it is just not gonna work.

A great to have (for me) would be an overlay.getData(lat, lon) method that would return the info that I could run anytime but especially on redrawFinished...

Thanks for the great (make that GREAT) product you all are creating!!

An even better method would be one where I could get back data based on the overlay I pass in:

Something like: overlay.getData(lat, lon, 'wind') or overlay.getData(lat, lon, 'temp') then it would not matter what overlay I was on...

Good news:

The interpolator function has been added in the latest API. Documented here:

Thx Windy team!!

@rittels So, those are in Windy plugins, not the page API, right?

I have never written a plugin. Do I need visual studio or ??

rittels

Interpolator function has now been added to the API. However, it is not in the windyAPI object but in W.

short example:

const {interpolator} = W; 
        broadcast.on("redrawFinished", e=>{

            interpolator(interfun=>{
                let mc=map.getCenter();    //pass your coords to the interpolator function
                console.log("Weather at map center: ",  interfun({lat: mc.lat,lon: mc.lng}));
            })

        })

That worked and got me way ahead of where I thought I'd be. Thanks so much!!

Question though, I am having trouble with other Leaflet methods and the console is telling me the requested method does not exist but I am clearly following the code per the Leaflet docs. Is there something limiting my access to certain things because I am not using the paid API? As I get further along, I will be getting the paid version.

The specific code I am struggling with is:

let mnw = map.getNorthWest();

In fact, most of the map locations not map.getCenter() are not working.

Thanks again.

@powellbound

let mnw = map.getBounds().getNorthWest();

Ahhh. I am using leaflet 0.7.7, should I be using 1.4??

siim

Windy API is Leaflet 0.7.7 at the moment.

Near future it will be updated to 1.4

Windy.com main site was updated to 1.4 few weeks ago.

@powellbound
Sorry about the confusion. API still 0.7.7, plugins 14.
Wanted to show getNorthWest() is method of LatLngBounds, not map.

powellbound

No worries, you have been a huge help. I was just unsure about the Leaflet version to use. I am looking forward to api 19!

Thanks again!!
