Weather Tracker App

This project is a SwiftUI-based weather application that allows users to search for a city and view its current weather information. The app fetches weather data using a ViewModel and presents it in a clean, user-friendly interface. The app was built with an emphasis on usability and efficient data handling within a limited time of 5 hours.

Features

• Search Functionality:

  • Search for cities using a search bar.
  • Display search results dynamically.

• Weather Details:

  • Show selected city's weather information, including temperature, humidity, UV index, and "feels like" temperature.
  • Show city name with a location icon.

• Custom UI:

  • Designed using SwiftUI with custom fonts and styling.
  • Background colors and card-based layout for data presentation.

Limitations

Due to the 5-hour time constraint, the following features were not fully implemented:

1. Test Cases:

   • Automated test cases are not included.
   • Adding tests for ViewModel and UI components is recommended for future iterations.

2. Localization:

   • Strings file for localization was not created.
   • All text is hardcoded in the views.

3. Error Handling:

   • Basic error handling exists but could be expanded for better user feedback during API failures.

4. Performance Optimizations:

   • While the app works efficiently for basic functionality, further optimizations can be done for large-scale use.
