• Use HAML, SCSS, coffeescript (when required), Rspec & guard (for testing)

• haml > erb
• SASS > CSS
• Use partials in Views to keep code clean : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/views/weather/index.html.haml
• Helpers : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/helpers/weather_helper.rb

• Skinny controller fat model : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/controllers/weather_controller.rb
• Use singleton pattern to keep track of latitude / longitudes : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/models/latitude_longitude.rb
• Strong cohesion, loose coupling : Use separate parser class to keep API specific details decoupled from rest of code and make it easier to plug in a different weather API : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/models/forecast/parser.rb
• Use ENUMs for forecast types : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/models/forecast/type.rb
• Make parallel service calls using Hydra :

  weather/app/models/dark_sky/client.rb

  Line 43 in 2e00d8e

  hydra = Hydra.new

• Store API secret key securely : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/models/dark_sky/client.rb

• Create class methods on the fly : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/models/forecast/time_series_summary.rb
• Create instant variables dynamically (DRY) : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/models/forecast/data.rb
• Dynamically set instance variable values and keep code DRY : https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/app/models/forecast/data.rb

• RSpec for critical parsing code https://github.com/gadzooks/weather/blob/master/spec/models/forecast/parser_spec.rb
• Added acceptance tests using turnip (cucumber alernative)

Where should I go hiking in the next week based on weather forecasts ?

I decided to build this simple website to answer that question for me. The Pacific NorthWest has a lot of micro-climates which means different parts of WA may have different weather even though they are not that far apart (from a geographic standpoint). I was tired of googling my favorite destinations one by one each time I wanted to decide where I should go to next. Enter this project.

1. Sign up for a new dev account (only to run in prod mode) https://darksky.net/dev/account
2. Upgrade Rails credetials as per https://www.engineyard.com/blog/rails-encrypted-credentials-on-rails-5.2
3. Profit ??

1. Typheus is setup to use Rails default cache
2. To enable caching/disable in development : rails dev:cache

1. Download this code.
2. on command line, run : rails server
3. localhost:3000/test for test data, localhost:3000 for real weather information.
