Weather Forecasting App 🌦️

A simple and interactive weather forecasting app built using Rust. This app allows you to check the weather forecast for any city worldwide by providing real-time data using the OpenWeather API.

Features 🚀

• Interactive terminal interface powered by dialoguer and crossterm.
• Fetch real-time weather data (temperature, humidity, and weather description) for any city.
• Displays weather information with stylish terminal output using colors and animations.
• Option to continue checking weather forecasts for different cities or exit the app.

Prerequisites 🧰

• Rust: You must have Rust installed. You can install it from here.
• OpenWeather API Key: You need to create an account at OpenWeather and obtain an API key.

Setup 🔧

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Firespiko/weather-forecast-app
cd weather_forecasting_app

2. Add your OpenWeather API Key to an .env file in the root directory:

Create a .env file and add the following line:

WEATHER_API=your_openweather_api_key

3. Add dependencies:

This project uses dotenv, reqwest, forecast, dialoguer, and crossterm. Cargo will automatically handle the dependencies for you when you build the project.

How to Run 🚀

1. Build and run the project:

`cargo run`

2. Enter the city name when prompted.

• The app will display the temperature (°C), humidity, and a description of the weather.
• You can continue to check the weather for more cities or exit the app.

Project Structure 🗂️

• src/bin/main.rs: The main binary code, where the app logic resides.
• src/lib.rs: Contains the data structures and function definitions used in the app.
• .env: Stores your OpenWeather API key.

Technologies Used 🛠️

• Rust: Systems programming language.
• Reqwest: HTTP client for fetching data from the OpenWeather API.
• Forecast: Weather data structure for deserializing the API response.
• Crossterm: For terminal output with colors and animation.
• Dialoguer: For a user-friendly, interactive prompt to select options in the terminal.
