</p>
The widget consists of three sections:
- current weather, including humidity, wind speed, UV index
- hourly forecast for the next 24 hours
- daily forecast for the next five days
## Customization
It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| coordinates | Required | Table with two elements: latitude and longitude, e.g. `{46.204400, 6.143200}` |
| api_key | Required | Get it [here](https://openweathermap.org/appid) |
| font_name | `beautiful.font:gsub("%s%d+$", "")` | **Name** of the font to use e.g. 'Play' |
| both_units_widget | false | Show temperature in both units - '28°C (83°F) |
| units | `metric` | `metric` for celsius, `imperial` for fahrenheit |
| show_hourly_forecast | false | Show hourly forecase section |
| time_format_12h |false | 12 or 24 hour format (13:00 - default or 1pm) |
| show_daily_forecast | false | Show daily forecast section |
| icon_pack_name | `weather-underground-icons` | Name of the icon pack, could be `weather-underground-icon` or `VitalyGorbachev` or create your own, more details below |
| icons_extension | `.png` | File extension of icons in the pack |
| timeout | 120 | How often in seconds the widget refreshes |
### Icons:
The widget comes with two predefined icon packs:
- weather-underground-icons taken from [here](https://github.com/manifestinteractive/weather-underground-icons)
- VitalyGorbachev taken from [here](https://www.flaticon.com/authors/vitaly-gorbachev)
To add your custom icons, create a folder with the pack name under `/icons` and use the folder name in widget's config. There should be 18 icons, preferably 128x128 minimum. Icons should also respect the naming convention, please check widget's source.
### Examples:
#### Custom font, icons
```lua
weather_curl_widget({
api_key='<your-key>',
coordinates = {45.5017, -73.5673},
time_format_12h = true,
units = 'imperial',
both_units_widget = true,
font_name = 'Carter One',
icons = 'VitalyGorbachev',
icons_extension = '.svg',
show_hourly_forecast = true,
show_daily_forecast = true,
}),
```
#### Only current weather
```lua
weather_curl_widget({
api_key='<your-key>',
coordinates = {45.5017, -73.5673},
}),
```
