Getting Started with Create React App

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.

      • Home:
        • Landing page component displaying a list of cities.
      • PageNotFound:
        • Component for handling 404 errors.
    • Redux:
      • Global:
        • Global.action.ts:
          • Actions for fetching weather data and city data.
        • Global.reducer.ts:
          • Reducer for handling global state changes.
        • Global.types.ts:
          • Action type constants.
        • Interface.ts:
          • TypeScript interfaces for defining state shapes.
        • rootReducer.js:
          • Root reducer combining all reducers.
        • Store.js:
          • Redux store configuration.
    • Utils:
      • index.ts:
        • Utility functions for structuring API data.

Components:

  • CityCard:
    • Reusable component for displaying city information.
    • Handles both homepage and individual city page cases.
    • Uses Redux to dispatch actions for hiding cities.
  • Header:
    • Simple header component.
  • HiddenCities:
    • Component for displaying a list of hidden cities.

Pages:

    • Component to handle 404 errors.

Redux:

  • Global:
    • Handles global state for weather data and city details.
    • Uses Redux Thunk for asynchronous actions.
    • Actions include fetching weather data, fetching city data, and handling API errors.

API:

  • Apis/Endpoints.ts:
    • Defines the base URL for API requests.
  • Apis/Index.ts:
    • Utilizes axios to create functions for fetching weather data.

Utils:

  • Utils/index.ts:
    • Contains utility functions, such as structuring API data.

Key Points:

  • Clear separation of components, pages, and state management.
  • Redux is used for global state management.
  • Redux Thunk is employed for handling asynchronous actions.
  • Components are modular and reusable.
