The goal is to write an application in a language and framework of your choice to display the weather forecast. We would like at least a daily forecast and a weekly forecast, any others are a bonus.
There are several weather APIs available, feel free to use any that you see fit. A user should be able to type in a location or postcode and retrieve the forecast for that location.
You can use any styling that you choose along with any client-side libraries and templates. The only requirement for the front end is that it is viewable in a web browser.
Feel free to add your own flourish to the application that is outside of the spec. Some ideas include:
- A user login
- Autocomplete on locations
- Ruby
- Rails
- RSpec
- Capybara
- Git(Hub)
To run the application run bin/rails s and visit
localhost:3000 in the browser. Or alternatively,
visit http://weather-forecaster.herokuapp.com
