This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Global Weather App

This app displays the weather conditions in places around the world in tiles that are shown on the screen. Enter the name of a place in the text field at the top of the UI to add a tile showing the weather conditions in that place. When the mouse enters a tile, a menu button is shown at the upper right and a close button is shown at the upper left. From the menu, you can get the hourly and daily forecasts and a weather map showing precipitation.

In order to run this app, you'll need API keys from OpenWeatherMap and Google Maps. OpenWeatherMap has a free tier and Google Maps allows plenty of API calls per month before they start charging you. That should allow you to run the app for free as long as you don't have too many places displayed at the same time. When you have obtained those keys, create a file called .env in the project root directory. Do not add this file to source control or else people can steal your keys. In the .env file, add the following lines:

REACT_APP_GOOGLE_MAPS_CLIENT_ID=your-google-maps-api-key
REACT_APP_OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY=your-openweathermap-api-key

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser. The page will reload if you make edits. You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode. See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder. It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes. Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
