Weather Forecast Application
This is a demo gtkmm-based weather forecast application
The weather forecast application is tested on Ubuntu and can be run effortlessly.
This project is designed to use gtk c++ api and does't serve any commercial purposes.
- All the codes are written in C++ and sometimes, the C native syntax is invoked as well.
- This project connects to
openweathermap forecast api
and fetches the latest weather forecast for every given city. We are using five days forecast service offered by openweathermap in which it provides 8 temperature samples for each day. - This project is not able to get timezone of the selected city. Though, there is no exact timing details provided.
- Sqlite3 ,a mere lightweight database, is the backbone of datastorage in the app.
- GTK3 v22 is used.
- GTK4 is not supported.
- Google unit testing.
