Friday 2nd June - Week 13

By

 Today I worked on connecting the WillyWeather API to my Xcode project. First, I registered for an API Key on the WillyWeather website. For the time being, I can only use 10 locations as this is the free version. I successfully entered the required code on my project to connect the API. But I am still trying to figure out how to retrieve data from the API. I am using the location id '4988' as a tester to try and retrieve the rainfall probability of this particular location. Once I have successfully retrieved the unique data from that location, I will feel confident in finding all the other attributes like temperature, wind etc. I have also created a few scenes for my app including a nav bar controller and a table view controller - the table view controller will be where all the filtered locations will be displayed once the user searches their preference.

This week, my main focus was to organise and refine my screens to make sure there was a smooth transition between them. To enhance user experience, I brought in a navigation controller to the settings section, which provides a convenient back button for each subview. In fine detail, I scanned over all of the contraints within each UI view controller to ensure there were no significant issues.  It was during this week that I came to the realisation that I may not have enough time to implement to FIND SWELL feature. This feature is the exact same to the FIND SUN feature but instead of sun, we are searching for good waves. As a result of time management, I decided to remove the prepared view controllers and code that I had set up for starting this section.

 This week I have hit a few more milestones within my code. I managed to display the locations on the homepage map. I also managed to change the default marker icon to my branded markers. Please see below: This was a challenge as I could not figure out why the api url wasn't valid to display all of these locations. After a lot of debugging, I came to the realisation that the api url had the (userSelectedDate) property which was not necessary/connected to the home page. I created a seperate api url for the homepage and after doing so, the code was successful. I also spent some time fixing the constraints of each controller.  My next step is to display the data on the homepage when a user clicks on a marker. I am in the middle of the code and at the moment the code is not successful. Once this is done, I will have the most important elements of the app complete.
