Skysage is a weather application is a feature-rich tool for retrieving and presenting detailed weather forecasts. It includes functionalities such as fetching weather data from an external API, processing the data, and creating a visually appealing display of weather information.
The application uses the WeatherAPI to fetch current and forecasted weather data. The getWeatherData function in getWeather.js handles this task. It takes a location and the number of days to forecast as parameters, performs the API request, and returns the relevant weather information.
The weather data retrieved from the API is processed by the processWeatherData function, defined in processWeatherData.js. This function constructs a structured array of day-wise hourly forecasts. It utilizes the Weather class to create objects representing each hour's weather conditions.
The Weather class, found in Weather.js, encapsulates weather-related information for a specific date and time. It includes properties such as location, date, temperatures, weather status, UV index, sunrise and sunset times, and more.
Various modules, like buildPrecipitationStatusCard, buildPressureStatusCard, etc., use the buildHighlightCard function to create cards highlighting specific weather parameters. These cards enhance the visual presentation of weather details.
The Sunrise and Sunset classes, located in their respective files, represent sunrise and sunset events. They include properties like icon, time, and type. Instances of these classes are inserted into the hourly forecast array based on sunrise and sunset times.
The application includes functions to build different types of weather cards and display error messages. The UI is designed to be visually appealing and informative. Moreover, this webapp utilizes responsive design for all different screen sizes.
