Sun position plugin

jacobsjo

I have just released version 0.3.2 of the plugin. The plugin was broken because the pluginDataLoader changed. I only used the pluginDataLoader for a timezone lookup. As that wasn't a good solution anyway I am now using the tz-lookup package instead. So hopefully it wont break as easily in the future.

Furthermore this update makes use of the query string: For example you can now directly open https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-sun-position?photoSun=true&astroSun=false&moon=false to get only photography sun details.

Thanks. Maybe a bug? Should golden hour not come after sunrise?

jacobsjo

@rittels

No, the golden hour is defined as sun elevations between 6 degrees above and 4 degrees below the horizon. So the golden hour does start before the sunset and also continues until after sunrise. The entire time range in orange is the Golden Hour. Also, in very high latitudes the entire day might be "golden hour" as the sun never reaches higher than 6 degrees above the horizon.

(Also see the screenshot in the original post, it was always this way ;) )

@jhmarshal
This is surely due to this change:
https://community.windy.com/topic/16811/plugin-developers-stay-alert-we-are-refactoring-windy-com-client-codes-to-typescript?_=1637686473652

And this plugin has probably not been updated by its author.

jacobsjo

@idefix37 @JHMARSHAL Sorry about that. I haven't kept track of windy the updates. I'll fix the plugin when I find the time to do so (hopefully soon).

JHMARSHAL
