CleanWeather: Your Comprehensive iOS Weather App

Introduction

CleanWeather is an iOS weather app that provides a comprehensive way to check the weather. It utilizes the OpenWeather API to fetch real-time weather data and offers a clean and user-friendly interface. The app has undergone significant enhancements with the addition of new features and improvements.

New Features

• TableView Integration: CleanWeather now incorporates a table view, allowing users to manage their saved cities. Users can add and remove cities directly from the table view interface.

• UITableViewDiffableDataSource: The table view implementation utilizes UITableViewDiffableDataSource as its data source. This provides a visually appealing way to handle search, addition, and deletion of cities.

• Generic Functions: A generic function has been introduced in the APIManager code as an example of generics usage. For instance, jsonParse<T: Decodable>(type: T.Type, weatherData: Data) -> T? demonstrates the utilization of generics within the application.

    private func jsonParse<T: Decodable>(type: T.Type, weatherData: Data) -> T? {
        let decoder = JSONDecoder()
        decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
        do {
            let decodedData = try decoder.decode(T.self, from: weatherData)
            return decodedData
        } catch {
            type == AirPollutionData.self ? viewControllerDelegate?.didFail(error: error) : tableViewDelegate?.didFail(error: error)
            return nil
        }
    }

• ScrollView - Hourly Weather Forecast: Users can now access hourly weather forecasts through the app. This information is presented using a horizontal scroll view, allowing users to visualize weather conditions for the upcoming hours. Additionally, a stepper component enables users to dynamically update the displayed data.

• Air Quality Index: CleanWeather now provides information on the air quality index of city. This data is displayed to the user via a bottom sheet, offering insights into air quality conditions.

• Air Quality Index Visualization: The air quality index information is visualized within the bottom sheet using a bar graph. The DGCharts library, integrated via Swift Package Manager, facilitates the creation of visually appealing and informative graphs.

Design Patterns and Technologies

MVC (Model-View-Controller)

CleanWeather continues to adhere to the Model-View-Controller design pattern for organized code architecture.

Delegate Design Pattern with Protocols

The app utilizes the Delegate design pattern along with protocols to ensure efficient data communication and separation of concerns.

Dependencies

• OpenWeather RESTful API (Free Subscription): CleanWeather relies on the OpenWeather API to fetch weather data. Users are required to obtain an API key from OpenWeather and integrate it into the project.

• DGCharts: The DGCharts library, added via Swift Package Manager, is utilized for visualizing the air quality index data in the form of bar graphs.
