World Temperature Explorer

This is an elm demo project. It implements a viewer of time series from the climate data API from worldbank.org.

The user is presented with yearly temperature average line charts for a bunch of countries from 1900 to today.

The frontend is developed both in plain elm (see the Main module that uses the HtmlView module) and using elm-ui (see the ElmUiView module).

Both implementations provide the user with the ability to:

• zoom on the time axis (from and to year range)
• select what series are displayed on the graph
• remove the time series for a country
• add the time series for a country not yet displayed

How to run

• Install elm 0.19.1
• For the plain elm implementation run: elm make src/Main.elm
• For the elm-ui implementation run: elm make src/ElmUiView.elm
• View the index.html produced by the compiler in a browser

Limitations

The plain elm implementation does not style the html produced.
