##Preview

Description

Simple Dashing widget (and associated job) to display weather info. Uses Yahoo's weather API.

##Dependencies

xml-simple

Add it to dashing's gemfile:

gem 'xml-simple'

and run bundle install. Everything should work now :)

##Usage

To use this widget, copy weather.html, weather.coffee, and weather.scss into the /widgets/weather directory. Put the weather.rb file in your /jobs folder.

You'll also need the Climacons Webfont. Download it, and put the .eot, .ttf, and .woff files in your /assets/fonts folder

To include the widget in a dashboard, add the following snippet to the dashboard layout file:

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="weather" data-view="Weather"></div>
</li>

##Settings

You'll need to add the WOEID for your desired location to the job (you'll get Ottawa's weather by default). Find your WOEID here.

Temperatures are fetched and displayed in Centigrade, but you can change it to Fahrenheit by replacing format = 'c' to format = 'f' at the top of the job file.

Weather is fetched every 15 minutes, but you can change that by editing the job schedule.

weather.coffee

class Dashing.Weather extends Dashing.Widget

    # This is fired when the widget is done being rendered

  onData: (data) ->

      # reset classes
      $('i.climacon').attr 'class', "climacon icon-background #{data.climacon}"
