Introducing the GIBS OpenWeather Module for Oqtane
A practical weather module that brings OpenWeather data directly into your Oqtane pages with maps, alerts, charts, and forecast details.
If you want a weather experience that feels native inside Oqtane, this module gives you exactly that. GIBS.Module.OpenWeather is built for Oqtane and powered by OpenWeather APIs, making it easy to show real-time conditions and multi-day forecasts for any configured location.
What this module includes
Current conditions
Temperature, feels-like values, humidity, pressure, visibility, UV index, sunrise/sunset, and wind direction.
Weather alerts
Displays active alerts with sender, timing, details, and tags when available from OpenWeather.
Interactive map
Leaflet map support with configurable zoom and precise location using latitude/longitude.
Forecast visualizations
Hourly and daily weather charts (temperature and wind) via Chart.js plus detailed daily breakdowns.
Configuration experience
The settings UI is straightforward: enter your OpenWeather API key, city/state/country, and choose metric or imperial units. A built-in Lookup Lat/Long helper resolves coordinates from location data, including multi-result selection when there are matches.
Why it fits Oqtane well
- Designed as a native Oqtane module with standard module metadata and settings integration.
- Clean split across client, shared, and server projects for maintainability.
- Uses proven frontend libraries (Leaflet + Chart.js) without overcomplicating the user experience.
