What it looks like:

What it is based on:

Modeled this app off of the Weather Channel vibe from the 80s. Hideous or nostalgic, you decide.

using...

• create-react-app
• craco (Create React App Configuration Override)
• Tailwind

Setup

Make a new folder and clone repos

Make a new folder called weather (or whatever you want)

mkdir weather
cd weather

Clone this repo in that folder

Clone https://github.com/clintonmedbery/weather-api to that folder

Docker Setup

Grab docker-compose.yml and put it in root folder. This can take awhile first time.

docker-compose up

Otherwise...

Set up API

cd weather-api

Install the dependencies

npm install

Get a weatherbit key

https://www.weatherbit.io/

Create a .env file and add this line

WEATHERBIT_API_KEY="my key"

Run With Node

npm run start

Run With Nodemon

npm run dev

Setup client

Then in a new tab or window go back to /weather

Create a .env file and add this line

REACT_APP_BASE_WEATHER_URL='http://localhost:4000'

Then

cd weather-api
yarn install
yarn start

This could take awhile the first time, (took me 20+ min)

Basic Create React App Instructions

Getting Started with Create React App

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

yarn start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

yarn test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

yarn build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

yarn eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
