What is the Weather App and What Does it Do?
What is the Weather App?
The Weather App is a modern, responsive web application that uses ReactJS to fetch real-time weather data for any city using the OpenWeatherMap API. It dynamically displays:
- City Name & Country
- Current Temperature
- Weather Description (e.g., Clear, Cloudy, Rainy)
- An animated weather icon matching the condition
- Real-time Clock (Updated every second)
The app showcases how React components, state management, and API integration can work together in a polished user experience.
Aim of the Project
The goal of this project is to guide you through building a complete weather app using ReactJS from scratch. You’ll learn how to:
- Use functional components and React Hooks (useState, useEffect)
- Handle user input through forms
- Fetch live weather data using fetch() from an external API
- Update the UI based on the fetched data
- Add styling and animations for a professional look
- Host the project using a simple and free platform like Netlify
By the end of all modules, you’ll not only have a live weather app hosted online but also a strong understanding of how a modern React project is structured and built.
