WeatherGuyBundle

The WeatherGuyBundle allows you to retrieve weather information about Spain via different weather providers. This is a fork of the original WeatherGuyBundle to connect with aemet. Aemet api now is close, for this reason i forked this bundle, to adapt it for wunderground api.

Weather info providers:

• WUNDERGROUND http://www.wunderground.com/

Installation

Add WeatherGuyBundle to your vendor/bundles/ directory.

Add the following lines in your deps file:

[WeatherGuyBundle]
  git =http://github.com/rastydnb/WeatherGuyBundle.git
  target=/bundles/Javiacei/WeatherGuyBundle
  version=master

Run the vendors script:

./bin/vendors install

Add the Javiacei namespace to your app/autoload.php:

// app/autoload.php
$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // your other namespaces
    'Javiacei' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
);

Add WeatherGuyBundle to your app/AppKernel.php:

// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        // ...
        new Javiacei\WeatherGuyBundle\JaviaceiWeatherGuyBundle(),
    );
}

Configuration

Tell Doctrine where are your weather's database parameters:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        connections:
            default:
                driver:   %database_driver%
                host:     %database_host%
                dbname:   %database_name%
                user:     %database_user%
                password: %database_password%
                charset:  UTF8
            weather_guy:
                driver:   %database_weather_driver%
                host:     %database_weather_host%
                dbname:   %database_weather_name%
                user:     %database_weather_user%
                password: %database_weather_password%
                charset:  UTF8
    orm:
        entity_managers:
            default:
                mappings:
                    GNFHomeBundle: { type: annotation, dir: Entity/ }
                    GNFSmartMeterBundle: { type: annotation, dir: Entity/ }
                    GNFAlertBundle: { type: annotation, dir: Entity/ }
                    GNFNewsletterBundle: { type: annotation, dir: Entity/ }
            weather_guy:
                connection:   weather_guy
                mappings:
                    JaviaceiWeatherGuyBundle: ~

Add these lines to your app/config.yml to setting up the data source:

javiacei_weather_guy:
    climatological_year_path: series_climatologicas/valores_diarios/anual
    adapter_class: Javiacei\WeatherGuyBundle\Geocoding\Adapter\GoogleGeocodingAdapter

Usage

Download weather data

Firstly, generate the corresponding database via doctrine through a shell terminal:

$ php ./app/console doctrine:schema:create --em=weather_guy

Because of the AEMET's wheather information is available on the Internet via csv files we must download the source through a shell terminal:

$ php ./app/console weather:download:aemet --directory=/path/to/your/folder 2012

Now, import the data from the previously downloaded CSV files to your weather database through a shell terminal:

$ php ./app/console weather:import:aemet /path/to/your/folder/2012.csv

Where 2012 can be substituted by any year you want.

Get weather data

As a service:

public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
    //retrieving the service
    $weatherService = $this->getContainer()->get('weather.guy');

    //Looking for the closest weather station given a location
    $station = $weatherService->getWeatherLocation('Alpedrete Madrid, España');

    //getting the weather info
    $data = $weatherService->getWeatherInformation($station, new \DateTime('2012/02/01'));

}
