- What was my motivation? I needed to create an application using a third-party API, which could check the weather conditions in specific cities for potential journeys.
- Why did I build this project? I built this project to better understand how to implement third-party APIs. I also needed practice using JavaScript, OpenWeather One Call API, Google Fonts, and Bootstrap.
- What problem does it solve? This project creates a weather application, which finds pertinent data about weather conditions in specific cities.
- What did I learn? I learned about OpenWeather One Call API, Bootstrap, JavaScript, and Google Fonts.
Although this is simply a webpage and no installation is necessary, there were certain criteria that had to be met in order to complete this project:
User Story
AS A traveler
I WANT to see the weather outlook for multiple cities
SO THAT I can plan a trip accordingly
Acceptance Criteria
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, the wind speed, 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
