jpettitt/weather-radar-card v3.9.0

on GitHub

Stable release. CARTO began requiring an API key to avoid a watermark on their free basemap tiles (Light/Voyager/Dark/Satellite) — this release adds a carto_api_key option to remove it, plus two new basemap styles that never need a key at all. Upgrading alone doesn't fix an existing watermark: if you're on map_style: Light/Voyager/Dark/Satellite, set carto_api_key (free, no account) or switch to the new Grey/GreyDark to clear it.

What's new

• carto_api_key config option — free CARTO API key (no account needed — carto.com/basemaps/apikey) removes the "API key required" watermark CARTO now stamps on anonymous tiles. Set it in the editor's Map section or via YAML; leaving it unset keeps the previous (watermarked but working) tiles.

  carto_api_key: your-free-carto-key

• Two new no-key map styles: Grey and GreyDark — Esri Light/Dark Grey Canvas basemaps, for anyone who'd rather not sign up for a CARTO key at all.

Internal

• Centralized the "is this basemap dark" check (previously duplicated across 4 files) into a shared basemap-styles.ts helper, so markers, cluster icons, the scale-line, the progress-bar palette, and wind-streamline colors all correctly treat the new GreyDark style as dark.
