Laravel Dashboard Laravel Package

title: Time and Weather tile weight: 3

This tile displays the time, weather, and optionally a rain forecast.

Installation

You can install the tile via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-dashboard-time-weather-tile

In the dashboard config file, you must add this configuration in the tiles key.

Sign up at https://openweathermap.org/ to obtain OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_KEY

Head to https://www.buienradar.nl/ to get your cities BUIENRADAR_LATITUDEand BUIENRADAR_LONGITUDE

// in config/dashboard.php

return [
    // ...
    'tiles' => [
        'time_weather' => [
            'open_weather_map_key' => env('OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_KEY'),
            'open_weather_map_city' => 'Antwerp',
            'units' => 'metric', // 'metric' or 'imperial' (metric is default)
            'buienradar_latitude' => env('BUIENRADAR_LATITUDE'),
            'buienradar_longitude' => env('BUIENRADAR_LONGITUDE'),
        ],
    ],
];

In app\Console\Kernel.php you should schedule the Spatie\TimeWeatherTile\FetchOpenWeatherMapDataCommand to run every minute.

If you want to rain forecast, and the Buienradar service supports your location, you can optionally schedule the Spatie\TimeWeatherTile\FetchBuienradarForecastsCommand too.

// in app/console/Kernel.php

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    // ...
    $schedule->command(\Spatie\TimeWeatherTile\Commands\FetchOpenWeatherMapDataCommand::class)->everyMinute();
    $schedule->command(\Spatie\TimeWeatherTile\Commands\FetchBuienradarForecastsCommand::class)->everyMinute();
}

Usage

In your dashboard view you use the livewire:time-weather-tile component.

<x-dashboard>
    <livewire:time-weather-tile position="a1" />
</x-dashboard>
