About the Death Valley Thermal weather card

The Death Valley Thermal card shows heatwave in Furnace Creek, Death Valley with a thermal camera look. It animates breathing heat blobs and a crosshair that reads the temperature under the cursor, and a tap holds the reading. Like every ExodeUI weather card, it rises in on load, floats gently, tilts toward the cursor and counts to a new temperature when your data changes.

Runtime inputs for the Death Valley Thermal card

These 23 inputs, plus the replay and tap triggers, can be set from the customizer above, from the ExodeUI studio, or from your code while the card is running.

Add the Death Valley Thermal card to React or Next.js

  1. Open a card above and set its text, colours and motion, or keep the defaults.
  2. Download the .bexode file (or the customized .exode) and put it in your public folder.
  3. Install the runtime with npm i exodeui.
  4. Render it with ExodeUICanvas and pass your weather data as inputs.
import { ExodeUICanvas } from 'exodeui';

export function DeathValleyThermalWeatherCard({ weather }) {
  return (
    <ExodeUICanvas
      src="/weather-cards/files/09-deathvalley-thermal.bexode"
      autoPlay
      style={{ width: 360, height: 420 }}
      inputs={{ city: weather.city, tempC: weather.tempC, condition: weather.summary }}
    />
  );
}

Frequently asked questions

Is the Death Valley Thermal weather card free?
Yes. You can preview it, customize it and download the .exode and .bexode files without paying. ExodeUI also has a free Community plan if you want to edit it in the studio.
How do I show live weather data on the Death Valley Thermal card?
Pass your data as inputs. In React, set inputs={{ city, tempC, condition }} on ExodeUICanvas, and update them when your weather API returns new values. The temperature counts to the new number and text changes play a short sheen.
Can I change the colours of the Death Valley Thermal card?
Yes. All 5 colours are runtime inputs, along with the page background. Pick them in the customizer above, or set them from code with the same input names. Colour changes cross-fade instead of jumping.
What happens when someone taps the card?
The card holds the reading. You can also fire the same action from code with the tap input, and replay the entrance with the replay input.
Does it work outside React?
The same file works with the other ExodeUI runtimes, including Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid, React Native, SwiftUI and Flutter.
