Well, I have to say that the main motivation to write this gem was just to write a gem. I’ve never done it before. That being said, here’s rweather with you.
What does it do ?
It’s a ruby wrapper for the Weather XML Data Feed from weather.com.
It currently has two features, searching locations to get their location_id and getting the weather current conditions for a given location.
Getting the code and Installing
The rweather code is of course available at github and is released with a MIT license.
To install it just do the usual:
sudo gem install ckozus-rweather --source http://gems.github.com
How to Use It
This is a simple script using rweather taken from the README. It gets a list of matching locations and shows the current temperature and what it feels like.
