This is a README file that provides an overview of the structure and components of a weather app built using Flutter. The app utilizes various folders and files within the lib
directory, along with external dependencies managed through pubspec.yaml
.
The lib
directory contains several folders that organize the codebase:
This folder is responsible for state management. It contains the necessary files to handle the app's state and perform state transitions.
The models folder contains the data models required for fetching weather, location, and forecast. These models define the structure of the data returned from the API.
This folder holds all the app's pages and related components. Examples of pages could include the search page, detail description page, and more. Components specific to each page are also included within this folder.
The services folder contains the necessary files to interact with external services, such as the weather API. In this case, the app utilizes the OpenWeather API to fetch weather data. The API key, has been provided via email for privacy purposes.
The main file, main.dart
, serves as the entry point of the Flutter app. It coordinates the initialization of the app and ties together various components.
The project utilizes external dependencies managed through pubspec.yaml
. These dependencies are responsible for providing additional functionality and simplifying certain tasks within the app. Make sure to check the pubspec.yaml
file for the specific dependencies used in the project.
To set up the weather app locally, follow these steps:
- Clone the project repository to your local machine.
- Ensure you have Flutter and Dart installed on your machine. If not, please refer to the Flutter documentation for installation instructions.
- Open the project.
- Locate the
pubspec.yaml
file and run the commandflutter pub get
to fetch the required dependencies. - Once the dependencies are installed, connect your device or emulator.
- Run the command
flutter run
in the project directory to launch the app on your device or emulator.
