pablodlc / weather-dashboard

This is an app that lets users search for weather conditions by city and it will display the current weather conditions as well as a 5-day forecast for the searched city. This app uses WeatherOneCall API to fetch the weather data and and Moment.js to determine the current date as a starting point for the 5-day forecast.

Description

This application can be found by clicking this link: Weather Dashboard.

Weather Dashboard is in interactive application where a user can search for a city, get its current weather condition and the weather conditions for the next five days. When the user searches for a city, a button is programmatically created. The button's text content is the searched city's name. Clicking on that button repeats a search for that city. All the cities and their buttons are saved to local storage, so they're persistent. This application uses three APIs: Moment.js for handling dates, the OpenWeather API to search by city name and get the lat and lon, then plug them in to OpenWeather OneCall API to find the weather conditions. I couldn't figure out how else to use the OneCall API, so I used the old one in conjunction with it.

The application was created keeping this User Story and Acceptance Criteria in mind:

Future Developments

Any possible future developments would be cosmetic. A current bug is that if there are enough of them, the buttons stack behind the footer. I would also consider how to update the spacing of teh text, as it makes the cards a little big.
