Sky Sight is an intuitive and elegantly designed weather application built using Flutter. It utilizes the flutter_bloc library to implement the BLoC (Business Logic Component) design pattern, ensuring a clean separation between the app's business logic and presentation layers. The app provides real-time weather updates for any specified city using the OpenWeatherMap API.
- Real-time Weather: Fetches and displays the current weather information using the OpenWeatherMap API's free plan.
- Geolocation and Geocoding: Determines the user's current location to provide local weather data.
- Bloc Design Pattern: Implemented using the flutter_bloc package to manage app state and event handling in a predictable way.
- Dio for HTTP: Uses Dio, a powerful HTTP client for Dart, to perform network requests.
- Loading Indicator: Shows a loading spinner while fetching data to provide immediate feedback to the user.
- Weather List: Displays a list of weather conditions with the day of the week abbreviation and condition image.
- Pull to Refresh: Allows users to refresh weather information with a simple pull-to-refresh gesture.
- Error Handling: Presents an error screen with a retry option if data fetching fails.
- Adaptive Layouts: Supports both horizontal and vertical orientations for enhanced user experience.
- Temperature Unit Toggle: Users can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units.
