`wthrr` lives in your terminal and her passion is meteorology.

If you spend time in the TUI, you'll have a little companion nearby who knows about the weather.

## How to use?

**Just call**

```
wthrr
```

Without having added an address or options, wthrr uses the [config](https://github.com/ttytm/wthrr-the-weathercrab#config) saved as default.

If you haven't configured anything as default yet, wthrr can try to search for a weather station near you and save the searched location as default.

**It's always possible to specify an address.** E.g.,

```
wthrr melbourne
```

Depending on the place you are looking for, you might need to be more specific.
For example, the above call will get Melbourne in Australia. If you are aiming for Melbourne in the US, ask for `melbourne,florida`.
If the address contains spaces, separate them with a hyphen or enclose them in quotation marks (e.g., `new-york` or `"new york"`).

To search explicitly for a weather station in the vicinity, call

```
wthrr auto
```

As a final example, we instruct wthrr to use Fahrenheit and mph as units and add the hourly forecast for the day

```
wthrr -u f,mph -f d
```

### Find further usage parameters in the help information

```
> wthrr -h

Usage: wthrr [OPTIONS] [ADDRESS]

[e.g.: -u f,12h,in] [possible values: (c)elsius, (f)ahrenheit, kmh, mph, (kn)ots, ms, 12h, 24h, %, mm, (in)ch]
-l, --language
Output language [e.g.: en_US]
-s, --save
Save the supplied values as default

\*Rendering and colors are influenced by the terminal used and its theme and font.

E.g., the first of the above screenshots show wthrr in nvim(toggleterm) using kitty as terminal with a Dracula theme and JetBrainsMono Nerd font. The last screenshot shows wthrr in Yakuake/Konsole, also with a Dracula color scheme.

## Config

The address, units and default forecast can be saved as default values in wthrr's config file by adding the `-s` flag to a run. This will save the config in `wthrr.ron`.

**Platform locations:**

Lin: `~/.config/weathercrab/`

Mac: `~/Library/Application Support/weathercrab/`

Win: `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\weathercrab\`

**Default values**

```rust
(
address: "", // Address to check the weather, e.g.: "Berlin,DE"
language: "en_US", // Language code of the output language
forecast: [], // Forecast to display without adding the `-f` option: `[day]` | `[week]` | `[day, week]`
units: (
temperature: celsius, // Temperature units: `celsius` | `fahrenheit`
speed: kmh, // (Wind)speed units: `kmh` | `mph` | `knots` | `ms`
time: military, // Time Format: `military` | `am_pm`
precipitation: probability, // Precipitation units: `probability` | `mm` | `inch`
),
gui: (
border: rounded, // Border style: `rounded` | `single` | `solid` | `double`
color: default, // Color: `default` | `plain`
graph: (
// Graph style: lines(solid) | lines(slim) | lines(dotted) | dotted | custom((char; 8))
// `custom` takes exactly 8 chars. E.g. using a set of 4 chars: `custom(('β‘€','β‘€','β „','β „','β ‚','β ‚','⠁','⠁'))`,
style: lines(solid),
rowspan: double, // Graph height: `double` | `single`
time_indicator: true, // Indication of the current time in the graph: `true` | `false`
),
greeting: true, // Display greeting message: `true` | `false`
),
)
```
