Weather App for all your daily weather needs.
Over the next 2 weeks, you'll be building a React App that works with various APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that talk to different data sources to do cool stuff.
We're using the OpenWeather API to get weather data on different cities. Your challenge over the next 2 weeks is to build out this website and add even more functionality to it. At the moment, it displays basic information about a location when you type it in. Check out Issues for some more ideas!
You'll need to get your own API Key from their website (for free) and add it as an environment variable in a .env file. We have a template available as example.env.
You'll be using React initially to build this. If you're new to React, check out the website for some information on getting started!
- Node.js and npm need to be installed globally on your machine.
- Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/MLH-Fellowship/prep-project-22.P3.2.git
- You'll need to get your own API Key from their website and add it as an environment variable in a

- Go to Firebase
- Press Get Started
- Add a new project
- Name it whatever you like and click Continue
- Disable Google Analytics, no need for that
- Create a project
- Go to Authentication tab
- Click on "Sign in method" and enable the email and password one
- Hit save
- Go to project overview
- Add a web app and register it
- Take all the keys and save them to a .env.local file
- Remember that all the keys have to start with
REACT_APP_...
- Install the dependencies using
npm install - Run the app using
npm start - The app will be hosted on http://localhost:3000
You can also run the project using yarn instead. To start the project on your machine use following commands:
nvm use
yarn install
yarn start
Then open http://localhost:3000 if it doesn't open automatically.
