Flutter Weather App

A modern Flutter weather application that uses the Open-Meteo API for weather data and GeoClue2 for location services on Linux.

Features

• 🌍 Location Services: Uses GeoClue2 via D-Bus for accurate location detection on Linux
• 🌤️ Real-time Weather: Fetches current weather data from Open-Meteo API
• 📊 Detailed Information: Displays temperature, wind speed, precipitation, and last update time
• 🎨 Modern UI: iOS Weather-inspired design with elegant animations and responsive layouts
• 🌈 Dynamic Theming: Weather-based gradient backgrounds that change with conditions

Architecture

Services

• GeoClueService (lib/services/geoclue_service.dart): Handles location fetching via D-Bus
• WeatherService (lib/services/weather_service.dart): Manages Open-Meteo API calls

Models

• WeatherData (lib/models/weather_data.dart): Data models for weather and location

UI Components

• HomeScreen (lib/screens/home_screen.dart): Main application screen with weather display logic
• WeatherDisplay (lib/widgets/weather_display.dart): Reusable weather UI components

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Flutter SDK (>=3.0.0)
• Linux system with GeoClue2 installed
• D-Bus system service

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/meta-flutter/flutter-weather.git
cd flutter-weather

2. Install dependencies:

flutter pub get

3. Run the app:

flutter run -d linux

API Usage

The app uses the Open-Meteo API which is free and doesn't require an API key:

https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=LAT&longitude=LON&current_weather=true

Permissions

On Linux, the app requires permission to access GeoClue2 for location services. This is handled automatically through D-Bus.

Future Enhancements

• Hourly and daily forecast panels
• Multiple location support
• Weather alerts and notifications
• Customizable units (Celsius/Fahrenheit)
• Offline support with cached data
