suncalc VS Oat++

A really simple, small package to manage React context around color scheme toggling. Specifically, you can switch color scheme manually or automatically, and if the latter you can follow either the system color scheme or the sun.

I based some of this code heavily on a couple Mantine (https://mantine.dev/) hooks and Suncalc (https://github.com/mourner/suncalc), but modified them to either make them simpler and/or, in Suncalc's case, typed.

This is my first open-source package in a while, so I'd greatly appreciate any constructive suggestions! I have been using some form of this in my own projects and figured, when I added it to the most recent one, I should just extract it into its own project. I'm hoping something small like this will motivate me to do more open-source work because I miss it!

It would be fun to see this with local daylight hours mapped to the squares, so I could get a feel for where my consumption is at within "daylight" vs the whole "day"

SunCalc is a good tool for this, if you're interested: https://github.com/mourner/suncalc

(I've used it on a personal project, and the API was a little awkward but the results are good: https://daylight.website/)

If you want to do some coding for your website, here is the ready-made javascript for calculating what you want about Sun and Moon: Sun and Moon almanac

tool: d3.js data: SunCalc the inspiration came from these sunrise and sunset visualizations

Recently I have made a library doing this for myself. Basicly, I re-wrote this Javascript library in C++ for use with microcontrollers: https://github.com/mourner/suncalc

you need a bit of IT skills wth https://github.com/mourner/suncalc

I ignore the sunrise/set properties of the Hue bridge. All the calculations are done on the board itself, so it doesn't need an internet connection to keep working. I used the javascript code here https://github.com/mourner/suncalc as a starting point and translated it to c++ to run on an microcontroller.

Suncalc [1] is the library I use to calculate the position of the sun. Mapzen [2] host public elevation tile data. This blog post [3] is a good overview of the calculations involved.

I looked at oatpp and drogon, which are both great, but feel too high-level for my purposes. I tried drogon and got something working, but it feels like too much for my requirements, as in particular I'd like to slot in my choice of Json and message-body handling. C.f. the simple approach in Crow, which I easily understand and build on.

With the right libraries, C++ could be a good fit for applications that want to expose a fast web API to things that need lots of compute (simulators, for instance) or I/O (interactive editing of large datasets). Projects like Oat++ and Crow give me hope that we might see such an ecosystem develop.

Lots of other options have been mentioned, but I'll throw Oat++ into the mix. I used it for this purpose and it was reasonably painless.

cd "some/temp/path/for/repositories" git clone https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp.git cd oatpp mkdir build && cd build cmake .. (sudo) make install

Maybe use something like https://oatpp.io to create a REST API: C++ in the backend with this library to create a REST server, and the JavaScript/TypeScript frontend to ask for the information.

I've used OATPP ( https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp ) which worked nicely for setting up simple rest interfaces. Supports things like swagger & websockets out of the box. It's also on Conan which is nice if you use cmake. I can't speak to it's performance but it has about a 1mb binary size footprint.

As for your web problem, I have only used https://oatpp.io/ in the past but I'm sure there are more frameworks like that on the internet.
