Language

React.js, REST API

Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in your browser.

The page will reload when you make changes.
You may also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Once you are done with the above mentioned step you'll be able to see a UI Page

Quick bits to understand the design

Weather data is displayed using rest api hosted on https://openweathermap.org/

This app is able to fetch weather information from Openweathermap endpoint. On submit of the form a rest api call is sent and fetched data is displayed to the user.

Future enhancements

This app can be further improvised by adding more pictorial representations and other more details could be fetched from the API.
