Description:

React app created to show current weather and forecast. This pulls data from a custom backend API I created that proxies the request through to OpenWeatherMap and cleans up the data before returning it.

Future Updates:

• Make submit work with onEnter
• Optimize SVG's. Poor performance on some mobile devices.
• Current React-Places-Autocomplete component has bug where I can't limit search results to just cities. Look for a new autocomplete component or figure out a workaround.
• Weather API has limitations around data available on free-tier. Current-day forecast only shows 6PM and 9PM. Look into using another API. Possibly switch to Dark Sky paid API.

Key Dependencies:

• [https://openweathermap.org/api] (Weather data)
• [https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios] (Promise-based HTTP client for API)
• [https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-maps-react] (Used for wrapping Places API Key)
• [https://www.npmjs.com/package/moment] (Date parsing/ formatting)
• [https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv] (Read environment variables)
• [https://github.com/hibiken/react-places-autocomplete] (Used for searching locations and returning latitude/longitude to use with Open Weather API)

API Keys Needed to Run:

• Google Places API
• Open Weather API
