Weather-Playground

An app that uses open weather map data and provides a background for a designed weather app

###Step 1:

  • Initialize pods to get a podfile
    • pod init
  • Add AFNetworking to the podfile
    • pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.3.1'
  • Run pod install command
    • pod install

###Step 2:

  • Add a network controller
  • Add an object controller
    • Use as a shared instance
  • Add a weather object
    • Properties: locationName, weatherMain, weatherDescription, weatherIcon, weatherTemp
    • Add initWithDictionary

###Step 3:

  • Add a getWeatherWithName: method with a completion handler
    • - (void)getWeatherWithName:(NSString *)name completion:(void (^)(Weather *weather))completion;
    • The method should call GET on the [NetworkController api] then parse the response

###Step 4:

  • Add an interface to the viewController
    • IBOutlet for a textField in order to populate the search
    • IBAction to trigger the search from a button
      • In the search method call the getWeather method
      • You'll need to escape the string stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding
    • IBOutlets for labels to display the weather found (locationName, weatherMain, weatherDescription, weatherTemperature)
    • IBOutlet for UIImageView to display the weather found (weatherIcon)
  • In the completion of the search update the labels and the imageView
