1,229 PointsGet daily forecast from JSON in Swift
Hi,
I finished the Weather app tutorial ! And I love it !
However, I would like to go further, and add the forecast for the next few days. How can I extract the data from the JSON dictionary from the daily parameter?
I created a new .swift file, very similar to the Current.swift file we created during the tutorial.
Inside this new file, I want to extract the data for tomorrow.
Instead of having:
init(weatherDictionnary: NSDictionary){
let currentWeather = weatherDictionnary["currently"] as NSDictionary
I guess I should have something like:
init(weatherDictionnary: NSDictionary){
let dailyWeather = weatherDictionnary["daily"] as NSDictionary
let tomorrowWeather = dailyWeather["data"] as NSDictionary
But this is not working... Any solutions?
Thank you.

Treehouse TeacherHey Jef Djandji
Glad you liked the course and congratulations on completing it!!
Spoiler Alert: We will be enhancing the app in the next course to work with daily data but I don't want you to sit around waiting on me :)
The reason you're not getting the values you want is because of the way the JSON data is structured. The data retrieved when you pass in the "data" key to dailyWeather is not a dictionary. Hint: Try one of the other data structures we covered in the course.

I wanted to let you know, I found out how to do it, as well as adding the geolocation function.
I will soon publish the app on the App Store.
Thank you again for the help and the great tutorials.
