Simple script that generates a number of random locations on Earth, fetches their sunrise/sunset times, sorts them by earliest sunset and prints the length of the day with the earliest sunset.

To get started with this project, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Jakub-L/earliest-sunrise.git

And install the package dependencies:

npm install

To build and run the function use:

npm start

This will compile the TypeScript file to JavaScript and execute it using Node.

Alternatively, you can separately build the script using:

npm run build

And then manually execute the functions with:

node ./dist/index.js

The function will then run. The length of the day with the earliest sunset will be then printed to the console.

To change the number of random locations generated, change the count argument with which main() is invoked in src/index.ts.

The API is limited to 5 concurrent requests, with a 10ms interval between checks whether another request can be sent. These properties can be changed by changing MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS and REQUEST_RETRY_INTERVAL_MS in src/api.ts.

This program uses the Sunrise and Sunset API.
