CZWeatherKit is a simple, extensible weather library for iOS, tvOS, and OS X that allows for easy fetching of weather data from various weather services.

What's New in v2.2.7
Features
  • tvOS Support*.
  • Caching Support.
  • Support for historical and hourly data.
  • Request batching when using a weather service.
  • Improved request management when sending frequent requests.
  • Addition of more data, including humidity, wind speed, and more.

*Note: Features requiring MapKit are unsupported with tvOS.

Getting Started

CocoaPods

Add the following to your Podfile:

    pod "CZWeatherKit"

Usage

Included in this project is a Swift playground, CZWeatherKit.playground, that will let you play around with CZOpenWeatherMapRequest. However if you're as lazy as I am, here are some code snippets to get you started:

Wunderground

Getting Current Conditions, Obj-C
#import <CZWeatherKit/CZWeatherKit.h>

CZWundergroundRequest *request = [CZWundergroundRequest newConditionsRequest];
request.location = [CZWeatherLocation locationFromCity:@"Seattle" state:@"WA"];
request.key = @"wundergroundApiKey";
[request sendWithCompletion:^(CZWeatherData *data, NSError *error) {
    CZWeatherCurrentCondition *condition = data.current;
    // dreams come true here
}];
Getting Forecast Conditions, Swift
import CZWeatherKit

let request = CZWundergroundRequest.newForecastRequest()
request.location = CZWeatherLocation(fromCity: "Seattle", state: "WA")
request.key = "wundergroundApiKey"
request.sendWithCompletion { (data, error) -> Void in
    if let weather = data {
        for forecast in weather.dailyForecasts {
            // dreams come true here
        }
    }
}

OpenWeatherMap

Getting Current Conditions, Obj-C
#import <CZWeatherKit/CZWeatherKit.h>

CZOpenWeatherMap *request = [CZOpenWeatherMapRequest newCurrentRequest];
request.location = [CZWeatherLocation locationFromCity:@"Seattle" state:@"WA"];
[request sendWithCompletion:^(CZWeatherData *data, NSError *error) {
    CZWeatherCurrentCondition *condition = data.current;
    // dreams come true here
}];
Getting Forecast Conditions, Swift
import CZWeatherKit

let request = CZOpenWeatherMapRequest.newDailyForecastRequestForDays(3)
request.location = CZWeatherLocation(fromCity: "Seattle", state: "WA")
request.sendWithCompletion { (data, error) -> Void in
    if let weather = data {
        for forecast in weather.dailyForecasts {
            // dreams come true here
        }
    }
}

Using a Weather Service

A weather service allows for the dispatching of weather data requests and allows for more fine-grained control over how requests are handled as opposed to the interface provided by CZWeatherDataRequest. An ideal use case for a weather service is powering a weather app.

import CZWeatherKit

let service = CZWeatherService()
request = CZOpenWeatherMapRequest.newCurrentRequest()
request.location = CZWeatherLocation(fromCity: "Seattle", state: "WA")
service.dispatchRequest(request, completion: { (data, error) -> Void in
    if let weather = data {
        // dreams come true here
    }
})

Supported Weather APIs

CZWeatherKit currently supports the following weather services:

Climacons

CZWeatherKit supports Climacons out of the box. The Climacons Font is a font set created by Adam Whitcroft featuring weather icons.

Architecture

Core Description
CZWeatherService Asyncronously dispatches requests, caches responses, and simplifies key management when making frequent API calls.
CZPINWeatherDataCache An implementation of the CZWeatherDataCache protocol that uses PINCache for caching weather data.
Model Type Description
CZWeatherLocation Represents a location to retrieve weather data for.
CZWeatherData Top-level container for all other weather data.
CZWeatherCurrentCondition Contains data for current conditions.
CZWeatherForecastCondition Contains data for a day's forecasted conditions.
CZWeatherHourlyCondition Contains data for an hour's conditions.
CZWeatherRequest The abstract base class for all request classes.
CZWundergroundRequest Used for calling the Wunderground API.
CZOpenWeatherMapRequest Used for calling the OpenWeatherMap API.
CZForecastioRequest Used for calling the Forecast.io API.
CZWorldWeatherOnlineRequest Used for calling the World Weather Online API.
API Type Description
CZWundergroundAPI Wunderground API class.
CZOpenWeatherMapAPI OpenWeatherMap API class.
CZForecastioAPI Forecastio API class.
CZWorldWeatherOnlineAPI WorldWeatherOnline API class.
Protocols Description
CZWeatherAPI The protocol for weather API classes.
CZWeatherDataCache The protocol for a cache used by a CZWeatherService.
Headers Description
CZClimacons Contains mappings for Climacons to chars.
CZWeatherKitTypes Contains varions type definitions.
