Weather Webapp

I created a website utilizing NodeJS and its Express framework that fetches and displays weather data based on a location input. All weather data was retrieved using the OpenWeatherMap API, which can be found at https://openweathermap.org/api. I designed the site to be responsive, so that it looks good regardless of the size of the screen.

What I learned:

• How to create dynamic webpages using a combination of EJS and HTML.
• How to retrieve data from an API and parse it.
• How to use Node.js and Express to create a web application.
• Make websites responsive for better use across different platforms.
• How to deploy an app to Heroku

Next Steps:

• I would like to add functionality to the site such that the user's location is requested, and if allowed, searched for immediately, instead of a mostly empty page being present when first visiting the site.

Note: All source code is present, except for the OpenWeatherMap API key, for privacy and safety reasons.
