Daylight sample¶
This Pack provides a Daylight
formula that determines the daylight, sunrise,
and sunset at a given location using the Sunrise Sunset API. It accepts
a latitude, longitude, an optional date and returns a rich object (schema) as
a result. It uses the Fetcher
to pull data from an external API.
