NAME POEx::Weather::OpenWeatherMap - POE-enabled OpenWeatherMap client SYNOPSIS use POE; use POEx::Weather::OpenWeatherMap; # An API key can be obtained (free) at http://www.openweathermap.org: my $api_key = 'foo'; POE::Session->create( package_states => [ main => [qw/ _start pwx_error pwx_weather pwx_forecast /], ], ); sub _start { my ($kernel, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, HEAP]; # Create, store, and start emitter: my $wx = POEx::Weather::OpenWeatherMap->new( api_key => $api_key, event_prefix => 'pwx_', ); $heap->{wx} = $wx; $wx->start; ## An example request: $wx->get_weather( location => 'Manchester, NH', tag => 'mytag', ); } sub pwx_error { my $err = $_[ARG0]; my $status = $err->status; my $request = $err->request; # ... do something with error ... warn "Error! ($status)"; } sub pwx_weather { my $result = $_[ARG0]; my $tag = $result->request->tag; my $place = $result->name; my $tempf = $result->temp_f; my $conditions = $result->conditions_verbose; # (see Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Result::Current for a method list) # ... } sub pwx_forecast { my $result = $_[ARG0]; my $place = $result->name; my $itr = $result->iter; while (my $day = $itr->()) { my $date = $day->dt->mdy; my $temp_hi = $day->temp_max_f; my $temp_lo = $day->temp_min_f; # (see Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Result::Forecast) # ... } } POE::Kernel->run; DESCRIPTION A POE-enabled interface to OpenWeatherMap (), providing an object-oriented asynchronous interface to current & forecast weather conditions for a given city, latitude/longitude, or OpenWeatherMap city code. This is really just an asynchronous counterpart to Weather::OpenWeatherMap; look there for documentation regarding Request & Result objects. This an event emitter that consumes MooX::Role::POE::Emitter; look there for documentation on composed methods. See for more on OpenWeatherMap itself. ATTRIBUTES api_key Your OpenWeatherMap API key. (See to register for free.) METHODS start Start our session. Must be called before events will be received or emitted. stop Stop our session, shutting down the emitter and user agent (which will cancel pending requests). get_weather $wx->get_weather( # 'location =>' is mandatory. # These are all valid location strings: # By name: # 'Manchester, NH' # 'London, UK' # By OpenWeatherMap city code: # 5089178 # By latitude/longitude: # 'lat 42, long -71' location => 'Manchester, NH', # Set 'forecast => 1' to get the forecast, # omit or set to false for current weather: forecast => 1, # If 'forecast' is true, you can specify the number of days to fetch # (up to 14): days => 3, # Optional tag for identifying the response to this request: tag => 'foo', ); Request a weather report for the given "location =>". The location can be a 'City, State' or 'City, Country' string, an OpenWeatherMap city code, or a 'lat X, long Y' string. Requests the current weather by default (see Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Request::Current). If passed "forecast => 1", requests a weather forecast (see Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Request::Forecast), in which case "days => $count" can be specified (up to 14). An optional "tag =>" can be specified to identify the response when it comes in. Any extra arguments are passed to the constructor for the appropriate Request subclass; see Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Request. The request is made asynchronously and a response (or error) emitted when it is available; see "EMITTED EVENTS". There is no useful return value. RECEIVED EVENTS get_weather $poe_kernel->post( $wx->session_id => get_weather => location => 'Manchester, NH', tag => 'foo', ); POE interface to the "get_weather" method; see "METHODS" for available options. EMITTED EVENTS error Emitted when an error occurs; this may be an internal error, an HTTP error, or an error reported by the OpenWeatherMap API. $_[ARG0] is a Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Error object. weather Emitted when a request for the current weather has been successfully processed. $_[ARG0] is a Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Result::Current object; see that module's documentation for details on retrieving weather information. forecast Emitted when a request for a weather forecast has been successfully processed. $_[ARG0] is a Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Result::Forecast object; see that module's documentation for details on retrieving per-day forecasts (Weather::OpenWeatherMap::Result::Forecast::Day objects).
