This project was built using React.js and implements APIs from Google Maps and OpenWeatherMap.
The app provides weather data based on zip code, and then tracks recent searches on a map provided through the Google Maps API.
For this project, I wanted to explore React as a possible framework to use for my final project. It was important for me to try to work with implementing APIs with the framework which is why I made my app primarily center around a couple APIs. I found React to be more restrictive than I wanted for my app, and I had a difficult time working with the APIs. I'm glad I took the opportunity to work with React, but I will be using Vue for my final prjoect.
I consulted a variety of resources to create my app, but took general structures and not specific code. https://blog.hellojs.org/fetching-api-data-with-react-js-460fe8bbf8f2 https://academy.plot.ly/react/2-first-app/ http://joanmira.com/tutorial-build-a-weather-app-with-react/ Stack overflow React documentation https://medium.com/front-end-hacking/using-the-google-maps-javascript-api-in-a-react-project-b3ed734375c6
