Welcome to the Daily Weather Plugins Repository for Backstage!

The Daily Weather Plugin for Backstage provides real-time weather information for a specified location using the Weatherstack API. This plugin includes a secure backend proxy configuration to fetch weather data without exposing your API key.

How It Works

1. Backend Proxy Configuration:

   • The plugin uses a secure backend proxy to fetch weather data from the Weatherstack API. This ensures that your API key is not exposed to the client-side code.
   • You need to configure the backend proxy in your app-config.yaml file to point to the Weatherstack API with your API key.

2. Fetching Weather Data:

   • The plugin fetches real-time weather data for a specified location. You can configure the default location in the app-config.yaml file.
   • The weather data includes information such as temperature, weather descriptions, wind speed, humidity, visibility, and more.

3. Displaying Weather Information:

   • The plugin provides a WeatherCardComponent that you can embed in any Backstage page to display the weather information.
   • The component displays the current temperature, weather descriptions, wind speed, humidity, visibility, local time, and whether it is day or night.

4. Error Handling:

   • The plugin handles errors gracefully by displaying error messages in the WeatherCardComponent if the API call fails or if there is an issue with the configuration.
