Weather (Interview)

Alex Wang ([email protected])

Features

• Get weather for a location (accepts addresses, neighborhoods, cities, postalcodes)
• Show current weather condition, temperatures (current, high, low, feels like) in either Fahrenheit or Celcius, depending on the user's locale
• Save the last 10 searched locations to easily access weather again. Weather data is cached if retrieved within the last 15 minutes
• Support dark mode, dynamic type, rotation, etc

Technologies Used

Include:

• UIKit and SwiftUI
• Swift's async/await pattern
• Combine framework
• Core Data
• Core Location

Things Todo

• More user friendly error messages
• Autocomplete/typeahead for location names (and giving choices when there are ambiguities - e.g. London England vs London Ontario)
• Writing unit tests
• Clearing individual / all weather entries
• Having one central place for strings for localization

Third party libraries used

• https://github.com/AsyncSwift/AsyncLocationKit , to simplify usage of CoreLocation by wrapping delegate methods into the new concurrency model
• https://github.com/leoz/CachedImage , due to a bug in AsyncImage in Lists / UITableViews prematurely cancelling the first load of an image (see comments in code.)
