So this is US/Canada only?

[edbro]

Thank you for this. It was confusing at first until I realized I also had to change the title text to say Texas instead of Illinois.

 

items = [{ title: 'Cases in Texas:', valid: false }]

@deanishe I don't know all countries that the API supports, but I was able to confirm US, Canada, Australia and China (I tried Essen / Düsseldorf but couldn't find it, sorry mate).

@edbro That was a bug! Thanks for letting me know. I've released a new version to address this (v1.1.0) which also allows you to search for other states / provinces other than the one you configured.

Thanks. I found the dataset, and it only supports China, US, Canada and Australia at below national level. And as you're specifying "Province_State" in the query, it won't find "Germany" etc. (which isn't very interesting, anyway, vs local data).

Replace "state" with "Country_Region" and you can search for other Countrys

 

uri = URI("https://services1.arcgis.com/0MSEUqKaxRlEPj5g/arcgis/rest/services/ncov_cases/FeatureServer/1/query?f=json&where=Country_Region%3D'#{encoded_state}'&outFields=Confirmed,Recovered,Deaths")

Maybe @atheos can add a fallback search for Country/Region if a search for the state failed? :)

Thanks. I did figure that out, but it's not as interesting as city/state (to me at least).

 

For anyone else interested in German data, the Berliner Morgenpost has a realtime map.

Love the idea of this workflow and the demo shown here. Unfortunately I'm running into an issue with running it. On Mojave (10.14.6) with ruby 2.3.7p456 and Alfred 4.0.8. Changed the variable to 'Texas'. When I put in the keyword (';co') the icon comes up says "Fetching....please wait." then very shortly changes to "Search Google for ';co'; Search amazon for ';co' etc...

Checking in the debugger its throwing an undefined method error for prepend. Unfortunately I'm a total noob with Alfred workflows and total noob with Ruby. Any ideas for resolving? Or link to a thread to sort a more generic issue I may have with the Alfred install and more fun workflows?

I forked it and added the fallback search, making it effectively usable for the rest of the world.

Hope you add my pull into your master.

 

[FORK DELETED:BC it's been implemented by atheos in his 1.2.0 release] https://github.com/Schneppi/CoronaTime

@Schneppi Thank you! I actually added this feature yesterday but didn't have time to publish it until now. It is now out in 1.2.0.

 

I wish Alfred workflows were easier to collaborate on for developers... I've added the source code in a separate file so that I can take PRs in the future, if you have further improvements please open a PR.

[Alfraid]

Awesome! Thank you

It's the way you've set up your workflow and repo. Don't put your Ruby code in the Script box. It's a poor editor and having all your code in info.plist isn't very compatible with git. Use an external script in the workflow directory instead, and put the contents of the workflow in your repo, not just the zipped .alfredworkflow file.

 

That way, people can clone the repo and symlink the src subdirectory to Alfred's workflow directory, making it pretty easy to make PRs.

Side tracking a little, what's the tool you're using to show the typed keystrokes on your screen when recording this gif?

[Alfraid]

Maybe Screenium?

[Shark.Formax]

@Nick Ang I use Gifox 2 - it's a built in feature https://gifox.io/

 

However if you just want the key display try KeyCastr https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr

I think Gifox used the code from keycastr considering how similar the key display looks.

add keycastr
