WeatherTV is a weather app for Apple TV. The goal is to develop a simple app that allows you to choose the service that provides you with the forecast information.
In order for the app to be able to get data from the different weather services APIs, you will need to get their corresponding API keys and configure them into the WeatherServiceConfiguration.plist file.
At the moment, two services are supported:
- World Weather Online: You can get the API key by registering here: http://developer.worldweatheronline.com/api/
- Open Weather Map: The API key and documentation can be obtained from: http://openweathermap.org/api
Once you've registered and got the API keys, you will need to add them to the WeatherServiceConfiguration.plist file provided that should look similar to the one in the example:
Example:
If your 'api key' for World Weather Online is '1234' and your 'api key' for Open Weather Map is '5678', the file should look like this:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>WorldWeatherService</key>
<dict>
<key>ApiKey</key>
<string>1234</string>
</dict>
<key>OpenWeatherService</key>
<dict>
<key>ApiKey</key>
<string>5678</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
There is a WeatherServiceFactory.swift that defines an enum with the different supported services and provides a static method for returning the service you'll like (Open Weather Map by default):
enum WeatherService {
case OpenWeather, WorldWeather
}
struct WeatherServiceFactory {
static func weatherService(weatherService:WeatherService = .OpenWeather) -> (WeatherServiceProtocol) {
switch weatherService {
case .OpenWeather:
return OpenWeatherService()
case .WorldWeather:
return WorldWeatherService()
}
}
}
The first step would be to add the new service here as well as the corresponding configuration in the WeatherServiceConfiguration.plist file.
Then, you will need to implement one class that implements the protocol WeatherServiceProtocol and another one implementing the protocol WeatherParserProtocol.
