Getting Started
---------------

[](#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

[](#prerequisites)

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

### Installing

[](#installing)

This package can be installed easily using composer.

```
composer install ndolestudio/darksky-php

```

Example
-------

[](#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);
```
