An application that will provide the weather forecast in plain English for the provided city name.
Run the index.js script.
npm install
node index.js <city name>Or, install this package globally and run from the command line with the forecast command.
npm install --global
forecast <city name>Please keep in mind that this application is hitting a free publically available API, so try not to hammer it :)
Make a weather forecast application that gives the a plain text description for the current day's weather forecast (like a weatherman might provide). Use the metaweather api to get the weather forecast data for the current day.
The application should prompt for a city name and them provide the today's weather forecast for the city in the following format.
<city> will be <temperature description>, <humidity description>, and <weather state description>.
An example in plain text...
Las Vegas will be hot, dry, and sunny.
| temperature value | temperature description |
|---|---|
| >= 80°F | hot |
| <= 55°F | cold |
| > 55°F and < 80°F | no description |
| humidity value | humidity description |
|---|---|
| >= 60 | humid |
| <= 20 | dry |
| > 20 and < 60 | no description |
The weather state description will be based on the response from the metaweather api. Use the weather state abbreviation code to determine the description text.
| Weather state abbreviation (from api) | Weather state description |
|---|---|
| sn | snowy |
| sl | sleety |
| h | haily |
| t | stormy |
| hr | very rainy |
| lr | slightly rainy |
| s | rainy |
| hc | cloudy |
| lc | partly sunny |
| c | sunny |
Example for Las Vegas on June, 15th...
MetaWeather API response:
[
{
"weather_state_abbr": "c",
"applicable_date": "2018-06-15",
"the_temp": 50,
"humidity": 10
},
...
]Output should be...
Las Vegas will be hot, dry, and sunny.
If humidity was at 20, it would be omitted and the description would read...
Las Vegas will be hot and sunny.
If the temperature was only 70°F and was also omitted, the description would read...
Las Vegas will be sunny.
The description should always read naturally and use proper grammar.
Finally, If the weather API does not have a forecast available for the provided city, display an appropriate message.
