 // JS uses Sunday as first day
const weekday = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday"," Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];

// -- bar logic --

const data = await fetch(`https://wttr.in/${location}?format=%25c%20%25t%7C%25m%20%25t%7C%25s`)
  .then(r => r.text());

const [day, night, sunset] = data.replaceAll("+", "").split("|");
const [sunsetH, sunsetM, sunsetS] = sunset.split(":");

const currentTime = new Date();

const sunsetTime = new Date(currentTime);
sunsetTime.setHours(sunsetH);
sunsetTime.setMinutes(sunsetM);
sunsetTime.setSeconds(sunsetS);

let value = day;

await $`ironbar set weather_current ${value}`;

// -- popup logic --
