To start working with the Windy Forecast Map you will need to request an API key at the following location: https://api.windy.com/map-forecast. At the time of writing the link to start this is in the upper right corner of screen.

After you have the API key (Demo or purchased) you can then use the component simply by dragging it into your screen. Set the api key value in the input parameter and the map will become visible.

Input structure

The component has the following structure as input

• key: This is the API key of the Windy Service
• verbose: Toggles detailed logging in the browser developer tools
• lat & lon: The starting point of the map
• zoom: The starting zoom factor of the map. 

Client actions

There are a several Client Actions available to manipulate the map. You can draw Markers, Circles and more. Moving the map and reacting to people actions to the map is also possible. For more information about these actions please read the documentation of the LeafletJS - Reactive component since these are the same.

Known issues

1. When you want to both show a Windy Forecast map and a separate Leaflet map you will need to clone the leaflet component and replace the Leaflet JavaScript in this close with Leaflet 1.4.0. This is because Windy Forecast Map is based on Leaflet 1.4.0 and you will get errors when you mix Leaflet version on the same screen.
