Weather-Journal App Project

Project ScreenShot

Table of Contents

Introduction

This project requires you to create an asynchronous web app that uses Web API and user data to dynamically update the UI. ˗ Set up localhost using express node.js. ˗ Made connection between the app and OpenWeatherMap API to get countries' data. ˗ Routed HTTP requests between API, host, and the app. ˗ Used HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Node.js.

Project Summary

Starting from setup Node environment, Install the packages Express, Body-Parser, and Cors from the terminal and set up a local server in your machine.

Next, you will route GET request to retrieve data about specific from OpenWeatherMap API and endPoint data from the local server-side, besides GET request you will also route POST request that adds incoming data to the endPoint object, you will chain all of this together.

Finally, chain another Promise that updates the UI dynamically by retrieving data from our app, select the necessary elements on the DOM, and then update their necessary values to reflect the dynamic values.

Objective

combining your skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into a large project. Aside from solidifying your skills with these three technologies, you’ll discover how to set up a local server with Node express, learn how to routes GET and POST requests, chain Promises, and work with web APIs.
