libCSWeather

A simple little library for fetching the current weather information.

keys

• kCurrentConditionImageName (name of the current condition image)
• kCurrentConditionImage (a UIImage representation of the current condition image)
• kCurrentConditionImage_nc-variant (the NC varient is a larger representation of the current condition image)
• kCurrentConditionImage_white-variant (the white varient is a smaller representation of the current condition image)
• kCurrentConditionImage_black-variant (the black varient is a black outline representation of the current condition image)
• kCurrentDescription (the today summary)
• kCurrentTemperatureFahrenheit (current temp)
• kCurrentTemperatureCelsius (current temp)
• kCurrentHighFahrenheit (current high temp)
• kCurrentHighCelsius (current high temp)
• kCurrentLowFahrenheit (current low temp)
• kCurrentLowCelsius (current low temp)
• kCurrentFeelsLikefahrenheit (current feels like temp)
• kCurrentFeelsLikeCelsius (current feels like temp)
• kCurrentCityName (name of the current city, or default city if location services are disabled)
• kCurrentConditionString (current condition i.e. rainy | sunny | cloudy)
• kCurrentTemperatureForLocale (current temp in either Fahrenheit or Celsius based on the device locale)
• kCurrentLowForLocale (low temp in either Fahrenheit or Celsius based on the device locale)
• kCurrentHighForLocale (high temp in either Fahrenheit or Celsius based on the device locale)
• kCSWLastUpdate (the time in which weather information was last updated)
• kCSWCityDidChange (notification of city change)

usage

#include <CSWeatherInformationProvider.h>

[[CSWeatherInformationProvider sharedProvider] updatedWeatherWithCompletion:^(NSDictionary *weather) {
    NSString *condition = weather[@"kCurrentConditionImage"];
    NSString *temp = weather[@"kCurrentTemperatureForLocale"];
    UIImage *icon = weather[@"kCurrentConditionImage"];

    // blah blah blah
}];

weather information will only update if the time since last update has been more than 15 minutes, or the city has changed. using this method more than once in a 15 minute interval will return cached results from the last update.
