I built this application because I wanted to learn more about using React. Specifically, I wanted to learn about using APIs with React.
You can use this application by visiting the app and entering a city and country into the form fields. The application will then return the forecast for that location.
See this application in action at https://agitated-franklin-55a50d.netlify.com/.
This application was built with React and bootstrapped using Create React App. You can learn more about Create React App here: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app. It also utilizes the OpenWeather API and NPM.
This application is also being hosted with Netlify. Learn more about Netlify at https://www.netlify.com/.
This application utilizes the OpenWeather API. This API is a beginner-friendly tool that can be used to return weather forecasts. You can find the OpenWeather guide here: https://openweathermap.org/guide. The documentation for OpenWeather can be found here: https://openweathermap.org/api.
You can use OpenWeather to pull a variety of weather information including: -Current weather data -5 day/3 hour forecast -16 day/daily forecast
