OpenWeatherMap and WebTiledLayer, issue with tile download

NachiChidambaram — Sun, 29 Oct 2017 03:14:34 GMT

I am trying to integrate OpenWeatherMap weather layers into esri map. So that I can see some real time weather data on the map.

When I create a weather layer using WebTiledLayer , it creates the layer and adds it to the map just fine no errors in console, but it doesn't display anything except basemap. When I watch the network traffic, it looks like 1 request is made to OpenWeatherMap layer and then no request are made for that layer. If I zoom or pan, I can see the basemap requests are made and redrawn, but nothing for my OpenWeatherMap- WebTiledLayer. Am I missing something very basic here ?

I am following the code sample from : WebTileLayer | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.5

Here is my code :

<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no">
<title>WebTileLayer - 4.5</title>
<style>
html,
body,
#viewDiv {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://js.arcgis.com/4.5/esri/css/main.css">
<script src="https://js.arcgis.com/4.5/"></script>
<script>
var tiledLayer;
require([
"esri/config",
"esri/layers/WebTileLayer",
"esri/Map",
"esri/views/MapView",
"dojo/dom",
"dojo/domReady!"
], function(esriConfig, WebTileLayer, Map, MapView, dom) {

esriConfig.request.corsEnabledServers
.push("http://tile.openweathermap.org/");

var map = new Map({
basemap: "dark-gray"
});

var view = new MapView({
container: "viewDiv",
map: map
});

tiledLayer = new WebTileLayer({
urlTemplate: "http://tile.openweathermap.org/map/pressure_new/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?appid={my_app_id}"
});
map.add(tiledLayer);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="viewDiv"></div>
</body>
</html>

Nachi,

Here is the code setup properly to work:

      });
      var view = new MapView({

Thank you . It works great.

Couple of related questions :

1. Do I need to do something special to display pressure map legends in esri ?

example link :

Interactive weather maps - OpenWeatherMap

2. When OpenWeatherMap data updates , does esri map layer update automatically ?

In other words if the weather api updates every 10 mins does the esri WebTileLayer also update ? (with out any UI interaction)

Nachi,

You will have to manually add a legend.
The layer will only be updated when it is redrawn by panning the map or zooming.

Don't forget to mark this question as answered by clicking on the "Mark Correct" link on the reply that answered your question.

Here is the code for adding the legend:
