import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Searchbar from 'react-search-cache';
import axios from 'axios';
import SearchResults from './SearchResults';

class App extends Component {
  state = {
    apiData: {},
    dataToRender: {}
  };

  handleSearch = searchTerm => {
    const ROOT_URL = `http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?appid=a3cb99e4a46d3c130772308d454ee522`;
    const url = `${ROOT_URL}&q=${searchTerm}`;
    axios
      .get(url)
      .then(response => {
        if (response && response.data) {
          this.setState({ apiData: response.data });
        }
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.log(error);
      });
  };

  handleDataToRender = data => {
    this.setState({ dataToRender: data });
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <header className="App-header">
          <Searchbar
            onSearch={this.handleSearch}
            apiData={this.state.apiData}
            handleDataToRender={this.handleDataToRender}
            styles={CustomStyles}
          />
          <SearchResults data={this.state.dataToRender} />
        </header>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

const CustomStyles = {
  input: {
    background: 'transparent',
    borderWidth: '1px',
    lineHeight: '1.5',
    height: '43px',
    width: '500px',
    borderRadius: '5px',
