React/TypeScript Weather Today App.

live version here

As part of School of Code I built a weather checker app using TypeScript and React with another bootcamper using pair programming.

Planning and documentation

We planned the app here Here and broke the day into mini-sprints/chunks and collectively agree on what work can be completed during each sprint.

Getting Started

Use the following API to get your weather information: https://openweathermap.org/api. You'll need to sign up for the free tier to get an API key. Rename the .env example to .env and add in your api code after the =.

Run npm install and then npm start. The app should be live on local host 3000.

Code and functionality

• The app is written in TypeScript.
• The user is able to input the name of a city and have weather information about that city added to the page.
• We added a dark mode toggle that uses useContext to wrap the app and change CSS styles globally.

Additional plans

• UI/component libraries - Added a little Mantine UI

• Tests
