You can easily embed tables in your README.md using GitHub Actions by following these simple steps:

Step 1: In your repository, create a file named README.md.template.

Step 2: Write anything you want within the README.md.template file.

Step 3: Embed one of the following entities within your README.md.template:

• Today's Weather Table:

{{ template "hourly-table" $.TodayWeather.HourlyWeathers }}

• Daily Weather Table:

{{ template "daily-table" .Weathers }}

• Updated at:

{{ formatTime .UpdatedAt }}

If you are familiar with Go templates, you have access to the root variable, which includes the following fields:

• Weathers: An array of daily Weather. You can view the Weather struct definition in model/weather.go.
• UpdatedAt: This field contains the timestamp in the format of time.Date.

Step 4: Register Github Action

• Create a file .github/workflows/update-weather.yml in your repository.

name: "Cronjob"
on:
schedule:
- cron: '15 * * * *'

jobs:
    update-weather:
        permissions: write-all
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
            - uses: actions/checkout@v3
            - name: Generate README
              uses: huantt/weather-forecast@v1.0.5
              with:
                city: HaNoi
                days: 7
                weather-api-key: ${{ secrets.WEATHER_API_KEY }}
                template-file: 'README.md.template'
                out-file: 'README.md'
            - name: Commit
              run: |
                if git diff --exit-code; then
                  echo "No changes to commit."
                  exit 0
                else
                  git config user.name github-actions
                  git config user.email github-actions@github.com
                  git add .
                  git commit -m "update"
                  git push origin main
                fi

• Update some variable in this file:
  • city: The city that you want to forecast weather
  • days: number of forecast days
  • template-file: Path to the above template file. Eg. template/README.md.template
  • out-file: your README.md file name
  • weather-api-key:
    • Register free API key in https://weatherapi.com
    • Setup secrets with name WEATHER_API_KEY in Your repo > settings > Secrets and variables > Actions > New repository secret

Step 5: Commit your change, then Github actions will run as your specificed cron to update Weather into your README.md file

go install https://github.com/huantt/weather-forecast

weather-forecast update-weather [flags]

-o, --out-file string          Output file path
-f, --template-file string     Readme template file path
-k, --weather-api-key string   weatherapi.com API key
