Show the Local Weather

This is a project I’ve done while doing the freeCodeCamp to get my FCC Front End Certificate.

See the complete challenge specifics at FCC Show the Local Weather.

Objective

Build a CodePen.io app that is functionally similar to this demo.

Fulfill the user stories. Use whichever libraries or APIs you need. Give it your own personal style.

User Stories

  1. I can see the weather in my current location.
  2. I can see a different icon or background image (e.g. snowy mountain, hot desert) depending on the weather.
  3. I can push a button to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

CodePen

This is the solution I’ve submitted using Bootstrap, jQuery, and Ajax on CodePen.

Note: the app fetches the data from OpenWeatherMapProxy: a proxy that I wrote for the purpose, and it acts as passthrough to the OpenWeatherMap APIs which require a secret key.
