A Weather app that uses an express backend to relay weather data from the DarkSky API to a React frontend.

This application allows a user to view the observed (in the past 30 days) or forecasted (in the future) daily weather conditions for a given location (the user's current location).

I will document all of the technical aspects of the application in the Github readmes. There's one file pertaining to the back- and one to the frontend of the application.

In summary

Briefly stated, the application works as follows:

  1. The user's location is requested(using the geolocation web API).
  2. The location data is passed to an express backend on the server.
  3. This backend will fetch weather data for that location from the DarkSky API.
  4. This weather data is then passed from the backend to the React frontend and displayed to the user.
