wt-fetch

This is a simple, cached, opinionated interface for wttr.in. wt-fetch will compose and display specific weather modules based on an input location. These modules can then be displayed in terminals, status bars, text prompts, etc...

How to Use

Nix

The best way to run this application is to use nix. Nix will include all the dependencies needed to run the application.

# Run from this repository directory.
nix run .#wt-fetch -- --help

# Run from remote repository.
nix run github:siph/wt-fetch#wt-fetch -- --help

Nushell

Nushell is currently very unstable so this method is not recommended but it is compatible with version 0.84.0

# Pass into fresh nushell instance.
nu wt-fetch.nu --help

# Create environment with script shebang.
./wt-fetch.nu --help

How It Works

Location data fetched from wttr.in will be cached with subsequent calls preferring to use the cache. This provides a more stable and performant way of retrieving up-to-date weather information. If a locations cache is older than the threshold (2 hours by default), wt-fetch will refresh the cache.
