Weather Buddy

This is a web application that shows weather reports for cities that you input. For the weather data, the OpenWeather api is used. Results from the api are cached for a certain amount of time.

This webapp uses Flask + Svelte.

Run in production

Run the following commands (you can use a python venv (python -m venv .venv) if you want to isolate the python environment)(don't forget to activate the venv).

• You need to set the environment variable OPENWEATHER_API_KEY to your OpenWeather api key

pip install -r requirements.txt

npm install

npm run build

gunicorn -w 1 app:app

Run in development mode

You can start two development servers (one for back and other for frontend) as so (remember to install dependencies and to set the api key).

FLASK_ENV=development flask run

npm run dev

When running in production, a single server serves both back and frontend. Because you're running the api in a different port, you might need to configure the api url in the rollup.config.js file, setting a different value for API_BASE_URL.

Docker

If you prefer you can also run the app using Docker.

docker build -t weather-buddy .

docker run -p 5000:5000 -e OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=$OPENWEATHER_API_KEY --name weather-buddy weather-buddy

Heroku

You can easily deploy to Heroku, just remember to set OPENWEATHER_API_KEY and add buildpacks for python and node.

Unit Tests

python -m tests
