Little node app for teaching Alan node.

Forecastr

Sample app for teaching Alan node.js.

Setting Up the App:

1. git clone ....
2. In the app directory, run npm install to install the required modules.
3. Copy the .env.sample file to a .env file. Add your Forecast.io API Key.
4. In the terminal, run npm start to start the app. Alternatively, to get automatic app refresh on save, run node-dev index.js.

Things to Do:

1. Add dotenv node module and move the API Key into the .env file (don't forget to gitignore it!).
2. Update the app to use a templating engine such as EJS or handlebars.
3. Move the API call to a separate file.
4. Explore Async.js callbacks vs. promises.
5. Add tests!
6. Create a routes file that gets called from index.js.
7. Update the app to respond to a user-provided location.
