I was asked to use the free openuv API to get UV Index data and display it however I wanted on the UI. To save time, I used an app I'd built the previous day as boilerplate (this was allowed), and originally hard-coded lat/long for Chicago (also allowed). Since then, I added search functionality where the user can enter their own US-only city/state (I used the api-ninjas API to get lat/long data based on city/state provided)
As a bonus, I used these pre-defined colors I was given to represent UV Index Risk Levels:
{
LOW = "#558B2F",
MODERATE = "#F9A825",
HIGH = "#EF6C00",
VERY_HIGH = "#B71C1C",
EXTREME = "#6A1B9A"
}
Deployed at https://amber-sample.vercel.app/.
Everything BEFORE the add-search PR is what I built/submitted during the interview.
My API key for openuv is limited to 50 calls per day, so this won't work if it gets used a lot! I'm probably going to change over to my openweathermap API key instead since it allows 1000 calls per day.
