The Goal:
Use JavaScript and an API to create a Weather-checking app.
The Method:
The project started with an HTML div. I found a template online that matched my needs and was up-and-coding quite quickly with only some mild cosmetic changes needed.
After the HTML was in place, the CSS and Javascript started.
Once the functions were all mapped out, I added some extra code to ensure that the search city would vanish from the form after each search. I think I still have some cosmetic improvements to make but all-in-all it was a fun exercise.
Unexpected Challenges:
I had a spot of trouble with the API, after registering to use the Weather API I found the API call was not working. I refreshed and waited a bit, having resigned myself to having made a mistake along the line. Forturnately, my debugging was short-lived as the API subscription kicked in and started working.
Result:
A basic weather app capable of displaying information at the touch of a (search) button.
