Weather App

City Weather App

Arjun January 10, 2022

Another weather app built as part of my experimentation with Modern JavaScript, API calls through a back-end script written in PHP which is being used as a middleware. This project taught me a lot of things in terms of how to manage sensitive data such as API keys with the help of back-end scripts that can relay the data received from an API call. For weather data, I have used Accuweather API. One of the challenges I faced was managing number of API calls with free account. The App makes API calls to Accuweather cautiously to maintain low call volume.

Features:

  1. Select the city of your choice in the world
  2. It displays:
    1. Current Weather Conditions
    2. Hourly Weather Conditions
    3. Daily Temperatures (min and max) in a graph
  3. You can edit the city

I have kept the source code for you to experiment further at GitHub. Here’s the link to check it out.
