Build Status

Yr.no PHP library

PHP library for the norwegian wheather service yr.no. Currently in use on a fairly large norwegian site.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.3

Installation

composer require eigan/yr

Without composer

Clone, or download the repo as zip. Place it somewhere on your server. Then include the autoload.php file in your code.

Remember to set date.timezone = "Europe/Oslo" in php.ini or whatever is your timezone.

Changelog

09 march 2014

  • ! Yr::create() now returns a Location object
  • ! removed getLocation, use getName(), getCountry(), getType() instead
  • ! Forecast methods will no longer return the array when specifying null as parameter. Try to use toArray() instead
  • Added autoload.php to make it easier to load classes if/when structure changes.
  • Added Forecast->toArray()
  • Added Location->toArray()
  • Added WeatherStations (observations)
  • Added TextualForecasts
  • Added Location->getForecastAt($time), get a forecast at a specific unixtime
  • Added tests. 98.15% code coverage (coverage cant hit when yr return HTTP 500)
  • More exceptions and error checks in all classes
  • phpdoc cleanup

Examples

These examples require you to already have included autoload.php (or using an autoloader)

Current forecast

$yr = Yr\Yr::create("Norway/Vestfold/Sandefjord/Sandefjord", "/tmp");

$forecast = $yr->getCurrentForecast();
printf("Time: %s to %s\n", $forecast->getFrom()->format("H:i"), $forecast->getTo()->format("H:i"));
printf("Temp: %s %s\n", $forecast->getTemperature(), $forecast->getTemperature('unit'));
printf("Wind: %smps %s\n", $forecast->getWindSpeed(), $forecast->getWindDirection('name'));
Time: 16:00 to 17:00
Temp: 8 celsius 
Wind: 5.7mps South-southwest

Forecasts tomorrow

$yr = Yr\Yr::create("Norway/Vestfold/Sandefjord/Sandefjord", "/tmp");

foreach($yr->getPeriodicForecasts(strtotime("tomorrow"), strtotime("midnight second day") - 1/*sec*/) as $forecast) {
    printf("Time: %s, %s degrees\n", $forecast->getFrom()->format("H:i"), $forecast->getTemperature());
}
Time: 00:00, 5 degrees
Time: 06:00, 2 degrees
Time: 12:00, 8 degrees
Time: 18:00, 7 degrees

Hourly forecasts rest of the day

$yr = Yr\Yr::create("Norway/Vestfold/Sandefjord/Sandefjord", "/tmp");

foreach($yr->getHourlyForecasts(strtotime("now"), strtotime("tomorrow") - 1/*sec*/) as $forecast) {
    printf("Time: %s, %s degrees\n", $forecast->getFrom()->format("H:i"), $forecast->getTemperature());
}
Time: 20:00: 5 degrees
Time: 21:00: 4 degrees
Time: 22:00: 3 degrees
Time: 23:00: 3 degrees
