openweathermap: Handle multiple locations in context #312

Closed rubiojr closed 4 years ago

rubiojr commented 4 years ago

Extends https://github.com/muesli/beehive/pull/311 by adding support to store multiple locations in the Bee context, at the expense of making it a bit more complex to retrieve the info from a template.

Something like:

"Weather in {{(index .context.weather.current 3128760).Name}}: ..."

Where 3128760 is the OpenWeatherMap ID corresponding to one of the locations stored in the context while retrieving the weather.

Kinda torn about this one. Makes it possible to retrieve the weather of multiple locations from the context but also makes it uglier to use it from a template.

The alternative would be to create multiple weather bees for each location, which is already supported by the previously merged PR, https://github.com/muesli/beehive/pull/311

I agree: our typical approach here would be to initialize multiple instances of the OpenWeatherMapBee, unless there are other advantages to sharing a single instance.
