API Key Setup

Get your API key from OpenWeather and pass it when initializing the client:

$client = new WeatherClient('your_api_key');

Usage

Standalone PHP

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Lukundo\WeatherClient;

$client = new WeatherClient('your_api_key');
$weather = $client->getWeather('Ndola');
print_r($weather);

CodeIgniter 4

use Lukundo\WeatherClient;

public function showWeather()
{
    $client = new WeatherClient('your_api_key');
    $data['weather'] = $client->getWeather('Ndola');
    return view('weather_view', $data);
}
