Create a command-line tool that accepts a city's name and returns the weather forecast. Leverage Open Weather Map API to get the weather forecast.
This section lists the features and highlights the points adhering to the judging criteria of
Functionality and Completeness.
- CLI has an autocomplete feature to get the city name.
- CLI has an interactive interface to select the date of forecast.
- CLI has an interactive interface to select the time of forecast.
- A pretty-printed output is shown in the terminal.
This section is an explanation of how we used Github copilot to speedup our process of writing code.
- Almost all of our functions were autcompleted by Github Copilot.
- To do this, we declared functions and added docstrings below them. This allowed Copilot to be able to autogenerate the rest of the code.
- A lot of pretty printing and util functions were mostly written by Github Copilot. This saves a lot of time and grunt work that would otherwise be expensive.
- Almost all of these functions have a docstring with them
- Almost every line of code has a comment preceding it, this also allowed Copilot to quickly autocomplete most lines of code (rarely requiring our intervention).
- We have followed proper variable naming conventions for Python.
- We have used interactive features in the CLI to make it look pretty and increase ease of use.
- Easy to read output for the forecast is provided with a fun looking symbol for the weather.
- Most functions return a json object containing the error message
- The main function is protected by a try-except clause that will catch the error and display the error message.
- We have tried keeping the user in mind while making the forecast tool, adding autocomplete(prev version), option of choosing dates through calendars etc to make it more user-friendly.
