Config

The configuration file is at $HOME/.config/wayweather/config.toml and will be created on first run.

# WayWeather config
# ip_loc enables/disables autolocation through ip address
# latitide, longitude, city and country must be set when ip_loc is false
# units can be either "imp" or "met" (imperial and metric)

[wayweather]
ip_loc = false
latitude = 40.71
longitude = -74.01
city = "New York"
country = "USA"
units = "met"

• ip_loc - can be true or false, when setting location with --set it auto-disables itself
• latitide & longitude - numbers in decimal coordinate format rounded to two digits
  • get them from https://www.gps-coordinates.net/ (ex.)
• city - city name
• country - country name
• units - either met or imp for metric and imperial
  • met - °C, mm, km/h
  • imp - °F, inch, mph

The saved locations are at $HOME/.config/wayweather/locations.json and will be created when saving locations.

{
  "0": {
    "latitude": 40.71,
    "longitude": -74.01,
    "city": "New York",
    "country": "USA",
    "units": "imp",
    "default": false
  },
  "1": {
  ...
  },
  ...
}

• has a similar structure to the config but supports saviing multiple locations
• also supports setting a default location
