What is a Temperature Converter and Its Purpose?

A temperature converter is a tool that converts temperature values from one unit of measurement to another (for example, Celsius to Fahrenheit or Kelvin, and vice versa).

In everyday life or science, you often need to quickly switch between temperature scales – Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K) are the most commonly used units. The purpose of this project is to provide an easy way for users to input a temperature in one scale and get the equivalent value in another scale instantly.

Features of a typical temperature converter include an input field for the temperature value, selectors to choose the “from” and “to” units, and a button to perform the conversion.

By building this project, we will also reinforce basic React concepts and learn how to handle form inputs and state in a React app.

Aim of the Project

The aim of this project is to create a beginner-friendly React web application that can convert temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. We will implement the conversion logic for all three scales, include input validation, and ensure the user interface is simple and clear.

This project will not only result in a useful tool for converting temperatures, but also solidify your understanding of React fundamentals like components, state management, and event handling. Ultimately, you will deploy this application on Netlify, making it live and accessible via a web URL for anyone to use.
