Developers are often tasked with retrieving data from another application's API and using it in the context of their own. Third-party APIs allow developers to access their data and functionality by making requests with specific parameters to a URL. My given challenge is to build a weather dashboard that will run in the browser and feature dynamically updated HTML and CSS displaying forecasts for the searched city, and saving those searches.
AS A traveler
I WANT to see the weather outlook for multiple cities
SO THAT I can plan a trip accordingly
GIVEN a weather dashboard with form inputs
WHEN I search for a city
THEN I am presented with current and future conditions for that city and that city is added to the search history
WHEN I view current weather conditions for that city
THEN I am presented with the city name, the date, an icon representation of weather conditions, the temperature, the humidity, the wind speed, and the UV index
WHEN I view the UV index
THEN I am presented with a color that indicates whether the conditions are favorable, moderate, or severe
WHEN I view future weather conditions for that city
THEN I am presented with a 5-day forecast that displays the date, an icon representation of weather conditions, the temperature, and the humidity
WHEN I click on a city in the search history
THEN I am again presented with current and future conditions for that city
WHEN I open the weather dashboard
THEN I am presented with the last searched city forecast
- Uses the OpenWeather API to retrieve weather data for cities.
- Working towards following SOLID principles.
- Allows for metric units to change based on user choice.
- Primary functions handled by script.js. Some internal HTML targeting using bootstraps modal framework.
- Mixed custom CSS and bootstrap framework
Deployable link - hosted on github pages. Link: https://agr2020xman.github.io/Weather-Dashboard/
Front page
Forecast active
Changing forecast units on active loaded forecast
Searches saving (Top = most recent) + will presist on refresh
Clear history removes all locally stored data & clears searchs
