Is it possible to update an image automatically if the weather forecast equals a string (e.g. Sun)?

0
Hello I’m new to Mendix and the concept of low-code applications – I’m currently a 1st year student studying high-level programming languages such as: C#, Javascript and Python.  The problem is I’m trying to update an image on my front end so it can dynamically change depending on the current weather conditions. For example:  if the word “Clouds” is shown I want my image to update and display a picture of clouds, if “Rain” is shown the image would show rain (Please refer to the last screenshot).  The attribute I want to use is {Main} but I am unable to write logic so that the image changes depending the value of the attribute.  The object being displayed is selected from a ListView on the homepage – which allows the data to be specific for a selected city. Could you provide a step-by-step guide on how I could achieve this? Any help is invaluable to my learning and is greatly appreciated :)   Moderator edit: removed PLEASE HELP from title. Please don’t use phrases like this in your title.

I’d recommend using conditional visibility to solve this one. Create multiple image widgets on your page, one for each of the different images you’ll use, and then set a conditional visibility expression for each one. For example, for clouds, the expression would be something like this:

contains($currentObject/Main, 'clouds')
