This lab is not a deliverable, but completion is strongly recommended as your project for Unit One involves using an API; this lab is really good practice
-
Create an app that uses a search form to show the weather in any city the user searches for
-
Set this up as a seperate Project Repo, and push it to your personal Github; this is a wonderful first project to have in your portfolio
-
Use the Open Weather map to get a forecast and display it on the page
-
Start by coming up with your
User Stories, then move on toWhite-Boarding,Pseudocoding, andWireframing -
Create a
README.mdinside of your project's root directory you can use to describe what your app does -
Example headers in your project's README might include:
- The Title of your App
- Technologies/API used
- Features
- User Stories
- Wireframes (you place hosted images in your README)
- Stretch Goals/Future Goals
-
If the user searches for another city, make sure the page is only showing ONE city's forecast at a time (i.e. make sure the previous results don't stay on the page)
-
Add basic components to your app such as a
header,nav,footer...etc -
Add styling with
CSS
Allow a drop-down menu for the user to choose how many days' worth of forecasts they want, then display that many days of weather predictions on the page.
Deploy your project to the web using Github Pages!
