Weather App 1.0

Description

Weather App 1.0 is a web application that allows users to search for the current weather and forecasts of any city. It provides real-time weather information using the weatherapi.com API. The app is built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS for styling, and utilizes Context API for global state management. Additional dependencies used include React Loading for loading animations, Axios for making API requests, React Icons for icons, lodash.debounce for debouncing the search function to prevent multiple API requests, and localstorage for storing the last selected city.

Features

  • Search any city and find the current weather and forecasts for the next 3 days.
  • The last selected city is stored in localstorage, so users can easily retrieve the weather information for that city upon revisiting the app.
  • Debounce functionality is implemented to delay API requests and prevent excessive requests to the weatherapi.com server.
  • The app provides a clean and user-friendly interface with intuitive design elements.

  • Next.js: A React framework for building server-side rendered and statically generated applications.

  • React Loading: A library for displaying loading animations in React applications.
  • Axios: A promise-based HTTP client for making API requests.
