Created a dashboard that uses the OpenWeather API to retrieve weather data for cities that are searched for by user. Uses localStorage to store any cities that have been searched for prior and allows user to call them up quickly.
Live application deployed at: https://jpd61.github.io/weather-dashboard/
The following image demonstrates the application functionality:
AS A traveler
I WANT to see the weather outlook for multiple cities
SO THAT I can plan a trip accordingly
GIVEN a weather dashboard with form inputs
WHEN I search for a city
THEN I am presented with current and future conditions for that city and that city is added to the search history
WHEN I view current weather conditions for that city
THEN I am presented with the city name, the date, an icon representation of weather conditions, the temperature, the humidity, the wind speed, and the UV index
WHEN I view the UV index
THEN I am presented with a color that indicates whether the conditions are favorable, moderate, or severe
WHEN I view future weather conditions for that city
THEN I am presented with a 5-day forecast that displays the date, an icon representation of weather conditions, the temperature, and the humidity
WHEN I click on a city in the search history
THEN I am again presented with current and future conditions for that city
In this challenge I spent some time learning the difference between AJAX and Fetch and experimented with both. Particularly the AJAX .fail function, which I really liked. I also tried to continue learning the arrow function and implementing it in my code. I had my first experience with a Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) error, which I believe I found a solution for using the cors-anywhere API link below.
