Description

Get metar from VATSIM for given ICAO airport code and display it in terminal.

For simulation use only!

You can use it as a CLI tool by installing it globally, or as a package in your project.

Installation as a CLI tool

$ npm install -g @svantetic/metar

Usage

$ metar epkt

Example output

EPKT 141430Z 09010KT 060V140 CAVOK 21/02 Q1015

Installation as a package

$ npm install -g @svantetic/metar

Usage

const { getMetar } = require('@svantetic/metar/api')

getMetar('epkt').then((metar) => {
  // do stuff
});


// or

const epkt = await getMetar('epkt');

Error handling

Package does not do additional validation or error handling. When there's no metar available or ICAO code is wrong, it will return empty string, just like VATSIM api.
