The Density Altitude App provides a calculation of density altitude based on weather data and GPS coordinates. It consists of a backend API built with Python and a future frontend component built with Flutter.
The backend component is responsible for calculating the density altitude by integrating weather data and GPS coordinates. It utilizes the Weatherstack API for retrieving weather data and incorporates mathematical formulas to perform the calculation. The backend API is built using FastAPI, a modern, fast (high-performance) web framework for building APIs with Python.
To use the backend API, follow the instructions provided in the backend/README.md file. Once the backend is set up and running, you can send requests to the specified endpoints to calculate the density altitude.
The backend API will provide the following endpoint:
POST /density-altitude: Calculates the density altitude based on weather data and GPS coordinates.
The frontend component of the Density Altitude App will be built using Flutter. The frontend will provide a user-friendly interface where users can enter their GPS coordinates or use GPS location services on their devices to retrieve their current location. The app will then make requests to the backend API to calculate and display the density altitude (converted to and displayed as relative-equivalent altitude).
