This tool allows you to aggregate some of information that you would likely to utilize in your real life, such as weather forecast, RSS feed, and etc.

The application collects the articles from RSS feed you would like to subscribe, or the weather forecast of any locations in Japan which are going to be retrieved from the backend API of NHK NEWS Web. You can expect the tools to post such information on Discord.

The settings are saved by each webhook registrations that you can configure.

An example screenshot showing the app posts weather forecasts of specified location.

Resolve dependencies for this tool. Assuming you have Composer (a Dependency Manager for PHP) globally installed to your machine.

composer install

Create tables.

sqlite3 sqlite.db < setup/create_table.sql

Note you can configure the database location via app/Config/Config.php or you can add database-path=<PATH> option to command-line argument.

public const DATABASE_PATH = "/path/to/sqlite.db";

The explanation about configuration on Database may be written later

After you configure everything, you can run this script by:

./bin/minicli forecast

Here I am trying to explain the meaning some of the collumn name used the database. To be added more.

place_id is the rightmost flagment of the URL, which is 13101001310100. With this unique ID allocated to each location, we can have this tool get some data.

https://www.nhk.or.jp/kishou-saigai/city/weather/13101001310100/

webhook_url can be a URL string representing Webhook URL. (guessing we don't need examples right?)
