Over the next 2 weeks, you'll be building a React App that works with various APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that talk to different data sources to do cool stuff.
We're using the OpenWeather API to get weather data on different cities. Your challenge over the next 2 weeks is to build out this website and add even more functionality to it. At the moment, it displays basic information about a location when you type it in. Check out Issues for some more ideas!
You'll need to get your own API Key from their website (for free) and add it as an environment variable in a .env file. We have a template available as example.env.
You'll be using React initially to build this. If you're new to React, check out the website for some information on getting started!
- Make sure you have Node.JS and NPM installed.
- Clone this repository.
- Install the Yarn package manager with
npm install --global yarn - Install dependencies with
yarn install - Set up your API keys in the
.envfile. - Run the app with
yarn start.
