Aerfoirt

Aerfoirt is very simple library for finding information about world airports. Currently it support look up by three-letter airport codes and returns data like: gps coords, city, country, and timezone.

Aerfoirt ships with some starter data and will ping the SITA database once a day to be updated of any changes. Updating requires an API key from https://www.developer.aero/.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add aerfoirt to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

```elixir
def deps do
  [{:aerfoirt, "~> 0.0.1"}]
end
```

1. Ensure aerfoirt is started before your application:

```elixir
def application do
  [applications: [:aerfoirt]]
end
```

Usage

To configure Aerfoirt to update data set the site_api_key in config/config.exs with the API you received from https://www.developer.aero/:

config :aerfoirt, sita_api_key: "yourapikeyshouldgohere"

To look up an airport by its airport code:

> Aerfoirt.lookup("CDG")
%Aerfoirt.Airport{city: "Paris", code: "CDG", coords: [2.55, 49.012779],
 country: "France", name: "Chrarles De Gaulle", timezone: "Europe/Paris"}

Name

Aerfoirt means airports in Irish. I wanted to use something that wasn't going to cause much namespace conflict with other projects and I've always liked the way Irish words look.

Short Term TODO

• Do not require an API key to use the library
• Do no attempt to auto update if API key is absent
• Improve test suite
