# openweathermap [](https://github.com/fightling/openweathermap/actions/workflows/rust.yml)
|
||||
|
||||
...is a *rust crate* which lets you easily access current weather data from [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/). This is an *unofficial* extension I have made to learn *rust* a little but I hope you have fun with it.

## How to use
|
||||
|
||||
First add this crate to your dependencies in you `Cargo.toml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[dependencies]
|
||||
openweathermap = "0.2.4"
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Get continuous weather updates
|
||||
|
||||
Then use the crate in your rust source file by calling `openweathermap::init()` which returns a receiver object.
|
||||
You can then use this receiver object to call `openweathermap::update()` to get weather updates like in the following example:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
extern crate openweathermap;
|
||||
|
||||
use openweathermap::{init,update};
|
||||
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
// start our observatory via OWM
|
||||
let receiver = &init("Berlin,DE", "metric", "en", "<APIKEY>", 10);
|
||||
loop {
|
||||
match update(receiver) {
|
||||
Some(response) => match response {
|
||||
Ok(current) => println!(
|
||||
"Today's weather in {} is {}",
|
||||
current.name.as_str(),
|
||||
current.weather[0].main.as_str()
|
||||
),
|
||||
Err(e) => println!("Could not fetch weather because: {}", e),
|
||||
},
|
||||
None => (),
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### First: Start polling
|
||||
|
||||
`init()` spawns a thread which then will periodically poll *OpenWeatherMap* for the latest current weather report.
|
||||
You then can use `update()` to ask for it.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Then: Get weather updates
|
||||
|
||||
There are three possible kinds of result you get from `update()` which you will have to face:
|
||||
|
||||
##### Nothing New: `None`
|
||||
|
||||
`update()` returns `None` if there is currently no new update available.
|
||||
Which means: **You wont get any update twice!**
|
||||
In other words: `update()` is not caching the last weather update for you.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Weather Update: `CurrentWeather`
|
||||
|
||||
If a new update was downloaded by the polling thread `update()` returns some `CurrentWeather` object.
|
||||
`CurrentWeather` is a nested `struct` with the already parsed json properties.
|
||||
Those are well described [here](https://openweathermap.org/current#parameter).
|
||||
|
||||
##### Some Error: `Err`
|
||||
On error `update()` returns some `String` object which includes a brief error description.
|
||||
|
||||
Errors may occur...
|
||||
- initially while **there is no update yet** you will get an `Err` which includes exactly the String `"loading..."` (predefined in `openweathermap::LOADING`).
|
||||
- if a **server error** response was received (e.g. `401 Unauthorized` if an **invalid API key** was used).
|
||||
- on **json errors** while parsing the response from *OpenWeatherMap*.
|
||||
|
||||
### Get weather just once
|
||||
|
||||
If you need the weather just once you may use the method `weather()` which envelopes `init()` and `update()` into one single synchronous or asynchronous call.
|
||||
After the first successful weather update the spawned thread will stop immediately and you get the result in return.
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
extern crate openweathermap;
|
||||
use openweathermap::blocking::weather;
|
||||
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
// start our observatory via OWM
|
||||
match &weather("Berlin,DE", "metric", "en", "<APIKEY>") {
|
||||
Ok(current) => println!(
|
||||
"Today's weather in {} is {}",
|
||||
current.name.as_str(),
|
||||
current.weather[0].main.as_str()
|
||||
),
|
||||
Err(e) => println!("Could not fetch weather because: {}", e),
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There is a *blocking* and a *non-blocking* variant of `weather()`:
|
||||
|
||||
- The above example uses the synchronous (*blocking*) variant `openweathermap::blocking::weather` which wont return until there is a new update.
|
||||
- If you like to deal with the returned *future* by yourself just use `openweathermap::weather` and asynchronously await the result until there is any.
