Weather APP - Using NodeJs, Weather API and HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Description:

Weather app is created using Node.js, Express.js framework to create the API's. To fetch weather details we used https://openweathermap.org/api.

Technologies

1. Backend: Node.js, ExpressJs (Framework)
2. Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
3. API: https://openweathermap.org/api

Steps to Run

Step 1

Clone the repository on your machine (Desktop/Laptop) using following command
git clone https://github.com/abhishekdhapare9392/weather-app-node-js.git

Step 2

run npm install

Step 3

copy .env.expample file to .env and add API_KEY value with your API key. To get API key visit Open Weather Map API link.

Step 4

run npm start. After running this command you can visit the link http://localhost:3000 for frontend. For API's visit the link http://localhost:3000/doc

Why used Nodejs if we can call the api from JavaScript frontend?

To hide the API Key and url of openweathermap. This is a best example of Opps concept, Abstraction.
