weather-emoji's Introduction

Weather-emoji

💎 Display current, today, and tomorrow's forecast in command line.

Displays a brief summary of:

Current weather, temperature, and humidity
Today's forecast (could rain later today no?)
Tomorrow's forecast (so you don't forget your umbrella)

The forecasts also contain min-max temperatures as well.

Example

$ weather
Now:      ☁ (49ºF/61%)
Today:    ☔ (42-49ºF)
Tomorrow: ⛅ (35-51ºF)

You can also specify which unit to use (-f for Fahrenheit, -c for Celsius):

$ weather -c
Now:      ☁ (9ºC/61%)
Today:    ☔ (5-9ºC)
Tomorrow: ⛅ (1-11ºC)

If the unit is not specified, the localized unit will be used (i.e. if the location is in US, use imperial, else metric).

You can also hit up an IP address or a hostname:

$ weather github.com
Now:      🌊 (80ºF/49%)
Today:    🌞 (62-82ºF)
Tomorrow: 🌞 (56-74ºF)

$ weather 8.8.8.8
Now:      ⛅ (77ºF/22%)
Today:    🌞 (57-82ºF)
Tomorrow: 🌞 (46-70ºF)

Implementation Progress

The following briefly explains the logic of how the weather is fetched and displayed; also, this serves as a to-do list.

Geolocate given IP (or current host's IP, if not given)
Get weather information for that coordinate
Consume weather information
Prettify weather information
Add emoji for each weather code
Add fahrenheit support
Add moon phase => version 1.0!

weather-emoji's Issues

Change min-max temperature delimiter

the -- looks painful in the eye

Better way to pass data around

Use instance variable

Add moon phase

If current time is before sunrise or past sunset (from OpenWeatherMap API call), calculate moon phase for current time, and display that emoji instead of current weather; else display the emoji.

Add localization (Fahrenheit) support

Check if user is in US (using response from OpenWeatherAPI)
Unless a flag (listed below) is given to force, present the temperatures in Imperial units.
