# Cosmic Weather Applet
A weather applet for the [COSMIC](https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch) desktop environment that displays current conditions in the panel and a full forecast in a popup. Weather data is provided by [wttr.in](https://wttr.in) using IP-based geolocation.
## Building
Requires a Rust toolchain. Install via [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) if needed.
```sh
cargo build --release
```
## Testing
For development, `cargo run` launches the applet in a standalone window in the center of the display. It behaves the same as when embedded in the panel.
```sh
cargo run
```
## Deploying
To deploy to your local user session, build a release binary, replace the running instance, and restart the panel so it picks up the new binary:
```sh
cargo build --release
cp target/release/cosmic-weather-applet ~/.local/bin/
# Restart the applet and panel
killall cosmic-weather-applet
killall cosmic-panel
```
The panel will relaunch automatically and load the updated applet.
## Localization
[Fluent](https://projectfluent.org/) is used for localization. Translation files are in the [i18n directory](./i18n). To add a new language, copy the [English (en) localization](./i18n/en), rename the directory to the target [ISO 639-1 language code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes), and translate the message values.
