An interactive web-app inspired by the lack of easy to find weather-related data. It utilizes a map in order to select any point on the globe to display data such as temperature, weather conditions, windspeed, and much more. It is an excellent way for researchers and hobbyists alike to find just the right type of data from one place, instead of having to desperately search multiple sources for one piece of data.
The project utilizes a Node.js and express back-end, linked to a Javascript, css and html, combined with boostrap.css and leaflet.js libraries for the front-end. In order to obtain the weather data, we used the OpenWeatherMap API.
In order to ensure that the API call requests are made correctly, install all of the NPM packages listed below then go into the crud-api directory, before typing npm start in crud-api/ as well as frontend/. You should then be able to run the web-app perfectly fine and start exploring the app on port 8080.
npm install @ctt/crud-api
npm install @babel/core
npm install @babel/node
npm install @babel/preset-env
npm install nodemon
npm install cors
npm install dotenv
npm install express
npm install node-fetch
Another option is to simply use docker. ```docker build . -t world-weather-web/world-weather-web``
