Forecast::IO::Cache

A local caching setup for Forecast.IO.

The cache is distance and timeframe sensitive, allowing cached forecasts to be returned within radius of the location requested and timeframe of cached forecast.

Thus you can make repeated calls to locations in a similar area (within radius) and get a cached forecast. Same with timeframes. This reduces the calls to the Forecast.IO API for app's that are attempting to map weather to other geo data.

When the api is called, additionally all hourly forecasts are sliced up into the cache individually to help pad the timeframe cache.

Installation

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install forecast_io-cache
