This is a Weather Information System that give weather information about few famous cities of India.

Pre-requisites:

  1. Golang 1.12

  2. GORM go get -u github.com/jinzhu/gorm

  3. API token for http://api.openweathermap.org

Steps to run:

  1. Signup on http://api.openweathermap.org, get the API token and set the environment variable APIKEY

export APIKEY=<API-TOKEN> 2. Simply run run.sh script. After that system is ready to handle requests.

Description:

  1. This application runs as a local http sever at 8080 port and continously gathers data in the background from http://api.openweathermap.org in goroutines.

  2. It saves data in mysql container running on the localhost and the container port 3306 is mapped to port 3306of localhost.

  3. Weather information for a particular city can be queried in 3 ways

    a. with city name

    b. with latitute and longitude

    c. with zip-code

    So the applicatin exposes 3 endpoints for the user:

    a. http://localhost:8080/weather/?city=`cityname`

    b. http://localhost:8080/weather/?lat=`latitude`&lon=`longitude`

    c. http://localhost:8080/weather/?zip=`zip-code`

Note: There is a .http file in this project to make sample API calls to sever
