Two Days Weather
Local development
Two Days Weather uses Open Weather Map's forecast API. Sign up for a free API key and add Secrets.swift with:
let openWeatherMapAPIKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"Dev notes
UI
- Didn't use Storyboards for the app UI (just the launch screen). I've actually never done this with a UIKit app before, so that was interesting.
Data source
- The app caches the 5-day forecast in 3-hour intervals from OpenWeather
- "Today" is displayed as the temp at the next 3 hour time. "Tomorrow" is the temp at the current time of day, 24 hours from the current time.
- The cache invalidates once per day. It should be made smarter by always defaulting to the cache and then opportunistically updating from the API.
- It listens for significant location changes and re-fetches from the API.
Database
- All data is stored locally in Couchbase.
- First time working with it. I'm probably not doing things very idiomatically.
