Node.js 8.10+ usage:

const SunburstJS = require('sunburst.js');

Node.js 6.5+ usage:

const SunburstJS = require('sunburst.js/dist/sunburst.node.js');

Usage with React Native or your favorite module bundler:

import SunburstJS from 'sunburst.js';

Getting started

Create a session pair. Also known as clientId and clientSecret, which are our API keys:

(async () => {
  try {
    const sunburst = new SunburstJS();

    const session = await sunburst.createSession({
      email: '[email protected]',
      password: 'hunter2',
      type: 'permanent',
      scope: ['predictions']
    });
    console.log(session);
  } catch (ex) {
    // Handle general network or parsing errors.
    return console.error(ex);
  }
})();

Now you can make API requests:

let sunburst = new SunburstJS({
  clientId: 'f78fe615-8eb1-48c4-be21-e5f4f437e8ba',
  clientSecret: '18qwl0htsPX|[!NGQ@[qK{X;[&^EVzaH',
  scope: ['predictions']
});

Here is an example of making four quality prediction requests:

(async () => {
  try {
    const now = new Date();
    const thisTimeTomorrow = now.setDate(now.getDate() + 1);

    const resp = await sunburst.batchQuality([
      {
        geo: [40.7933949, -77.8600012],
        type: 'sunrise'
      },
      {
        geo: [40.7933949, -77.8600012],
        type: 'sunset'
      },
      {
        geo: [40.7933949, -77.8600012],
        type: 'sunrise',
        after: thisTimeTomorrow
      },
      {
        geo: [40.7933949, -77.8600012],
        type: 'sunset',
        after: thisTimeTomorrow
      }
    ]);

    resp.forEach(({ collection, error }) => {
      if (error) {
        // Handle individual query errors separately,
        // as some queries may have still succeeded.
        return console.error(error);
      }
      collection.features.forEach(({ properties }) => {
        console.log(properties);
      });
    });
  } catch (ex) {
    // Handle general network or parsing errors.
    return console.error(ex);
  }
})();
