This project is a travel app that allows a user to enter a destination city and trip date, and either the current weather or forecast will be displayed, along with a picture of said destination. The project makes use of the geonames, weatherbit, and pixabay APIs to do so.
The extended functionality I chose to build was:
- Pull in an image for the country from Pixabay API when the entered location brings up no results (good for obscure localities).
You can see this in the
getImage()function, where a local city will pull up a picture of the country instead.
- Webpack
- Express
- Node.js
After cloning the repo, install all dependencies with npm install. The server runs on port 3001, here: http://localhost:3001/
Replace the keys with your own with the GeoNames, WeatherBit, and Pixabay APIs. Sign up and get keys and replace the variables accordingly.
Use npm run build-prod to build the Webpack app, and npm start to fire up the server, then visit the 3001 port to see the final web app.
