C4QWeather

View a 7 day weather forecast for Long Island City. Temperatures shown are min&max temperatures, as well as the forecast day. I used Swift 3 and followed the MVC Design Pattern.

Implementation

I chose MVC as the design pattern for this project because it's what I'm most used to, and through careful abstraction, can be very organized. I used GCD to make my data fetching asynchronous. Because they are public functions, this leads to reusability in future projects. I implemented error handling in my WeatherStatus file, and took advantage of guards early exit feature to ensure any errors from the backend were handled.

I chose to make the UI in Interface Builder because I like seeing the app's flow and design easily. Another reason being this is a 1 screen app.

Through my use of extensions, I've allowed my view controllers to stay organized.

Pods

  • SwiftyJSON (handle JSON data better and more easily)
  • Alamofire (to make networking simpler, and used in conjunction with SwiftyJSON)

Requirements

  • Xcode 8
  • iOS 10.0
  • Swift 3

Installation

  • Install Cocoapods.
  • cd to directory and use pod init to create a Podfile
open Podfile
  • Add the following to Podfile 
    source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'Alamofire', '~> 3.0’
pod 'SwiftyJSON', '2.4.0'
  • Save and install pods
pod install
  • Open C4QWeather.xcworkspace

Future Plans

  • Implement unit and ui tests
  • Reduce the configureFahrenheit and configureCelsius functions to be one, so there is less code repetiton as possible!
