Tempora is a SwiftUI-based weather application built with Clean Architecture principles. It allows users to search for weather conditions in various cities, save cities to their favorites list, and store city data in a cache for quick access.
The app integrates with OpenWeatherAPI/2.5 (which collects and processes weather data from various sources such as global and local weather models, satellites, radars, and a vast network of weather stations) and is limited to 1000 requests per day on the free plan.
- City Search: Search for cities by name to view their weather conditions. 🌍
- Location-based Default City: The app now requests location permissions from users to automatically set their current city as the default city for weather updates. 🌍📍
- Favorite Cities: Add cities to a favorites list and check their weather at any time. ⭐
- Weather Information: Get detailed weather reports including temperature, description, and weather icons. 🌤️
- Temperature Unit Toggle: Switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit for temperature displays. 🌡️
- SwiftUI: For building the user interface using declarative syntax. 🖥️
- MVVM: Architecture pattern used for separating concerns and improving testability. 🧹
- Clean Architecture: Ensures maintainability by following principles of separation of concerns. ⚙️
- Async/Await: Handles asynchronous network requests for fetching weather data. ⏳
- SwiftData: Used for persisting data, particularly for storing favorite cities and cached weather information. 🗄️
- OpenWeatherAPI: Fetches weather data from an external API to provide up-to-date information. 🌧️
- CoreLocation: Requests location permissions from users to set their current city as the default for weather updates, leveraging the CoreLocation framework for accurate location services. 📍
- Cache Layer: Data is cached using a two-layer caching system (in-memory cache and persistent storage) for faster retrieval. 🔄
- Dependency Injection: Manages app components and services using Dependency Injection, ensuring flexibility and testability. ⚙️
