A spring take on a 5 day forecast app.
Before starting make an account on https://openweathermap.org and get your API key. Once you have your API key make sure to create a .env file in the root directory with the following entry:
REACT_APP_OPEN_WEATHER_APPID:{API KEY HERE}
To get the winds blowing, clone this app onto your machine and then in your favourite command line interface (CLI) run npm run sprout or npm start if you want to be more succinct.
After waiting a short time, you may be asked to bloom a new browser tab by your CLI. If not, do so yourself and navigate it to localhost:3000.
To make sure that there are no storms brewing before sprouting make sure to run npm run forecast or npm test.
