README

This is a PHP wrapper for the official Dark Sky API found at https://darksky.net/dev/docs

Getting Started

These instructions will guide you on how to install and use this package to get weather information using the Dark Sky API.

Prerequisites

This package works with PHP 7. So your php version must be greater 7.0 or later.

Installing

This package can be installed easily using composer.

composer install ndolestudio/darksky-php

Example

Create a class which implements the LocationDateTimeInput interface. This class would be used as an input in the DarkSkyApiClient

class Request implements \DarkSky\Contracts\LocationDateTimeInput
{
    public function getLatitude(): float
    {
        return 33.22;
    }

    public function getLongitude(): float
    {
        return 24.44;
    }

    public function getDateTime(): DateTime
    {
        return new DateTime('now');
    }
}

Use the LocationDateTimeInput class created above to fetch the weather data using the DarkSkyApiClient

// Require composer dependencies.
require './vendor/autoload.php';

// Here, we create a DarkSkyApiConfiguration
$apiConfiguration = new \DarkSky\Configurations\DarkSkyApiConfiguration(
    ['daily','currently'], // Excluded blocks
    'https://api.darksky.net/forecast/b95b5555fb5f8e94cf499f4036618e55/', // Api Endpoint
    'si' // Units
);

// Use the configuration to create a DarkSkyApiClient
$darkSkyApiClient = new \DarkSky\Clients\DarkSkyApiClient($apiConfiguration, new \GuzzleHttp\Client());

// Create an instance of the LocationDateTimeInput
$request = new Request();

// This fetches the json response
$jsonResponse = $darkSkyApiClient->fetchWeatherData($request);
