Technical task for new applicants

Requirements

The task is to create a basic web application that displays the current temperature using https://darksky.net/ using the geo-location of your browser.

Goto to https://api.darksky.net/ signup for an account to get access to an api key.

Key business requirements

Display the current temperature in degrees celsius
Display the temperature based on the geolocation (note; not the IP!) of your browser
Display a simple icon and label based on the weather information provided (eg. sunny, cloudy, rainy etc).
The API request must be proxied via your nodejs server application ie. do not make a request from the client side directly to https://darksky.net/ for the weather information. It must go via your localhost app.

Getting Started

Fork this repository.
Install nodejs on your computer https://nodejs.org/en/
clone the code base
Install the dependencies npm install
To start the server npm run start:dev
If everything is working fine you should see:

on your browser goto: http://localhost:4000
Commit your code, and send us a pull request when you are finished.

Complete each task below:

Task 1

Using this code base, create an endpoint to proxy a request to api.darksky.net and return a response with the current temperature for your location based on the geolocation and display it on the homepage http://localhost:4000

Requirements:

The MVC architectural structure is predefined for you please don't change it
Use the scaffold to implement the missing bits of code (you will see comments through out the code base to guide you) to get the application working
In the /src/modules/weather folder implement the models, repository, api, view and anything else that you see fit to get the application to inject the response from the api into the template.
Commit and push your code regularly

Task 2

Style the template based on the image provided into html and css. /src/public/sample-gui.png Requirements:

The image of the weather should be based on the forecast:

Cloudy should display a cloud, sunny should display a sunshine and so forth

Task 3

Coding style: https://github.com/airbnb/javascript You will notice the code uses linting, tests and type checking

Requirements:

Fix any linting issues based on the coding style provided
Run npm run build should not produce any warnings or errors

Task 4

Submit your code by making a pull request
