#Weather API Challenge
###Main tech used
Django, React, React-router, ES6, chart.js, Webpack, Bootstrap, Python-2.7.
###Front-end compilation with Webpack
Run webpack from the top level dreact folder to compile.
Run webpack --watch to compile styles and js on the fly during develop.
Stylesheets and javascript are compiled using webpack. Styles are imported on a component bases and called using the syntax className={style.class} where style is the name of the imported stylesheet and class is the referenced class name.
###Weather API Uses OpenWeatherMap.
Our app receives GET requests at the endpoint /weather
###Graph Using chartjs (via react-chartjs)
###Test Run tests from the top level dreact folder:
./manage.py test
###Server Run the server from the top level dreact folder:
./manage.py runserver
###Setup
It is advised to use a virtual environment such as virtualenv. To install:
pip install virtualenv
Create a virtual environment at top directory:
virtualenv venv
Activate the virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate
Install python modules from requirements file:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Install npm modules from dreact directory:
cd dreact
npm install
Compile javascript and styles (from same directory):
webpack
Start server (from same directory):
./manage.py runserver
