Quick Weather Streaming App

Dave Bitter

V 0.1.0

General

This repository holds the code for a quick little weather streaming app experiment build with socket.io and the OpenWeatherMap API. The app provides real-time weather info about a queried city.

Issues

I highly encourage adding issues to this repo in the case of finding one. I’m always up for improving my code.

Get it running

Clone this repo, duh

git clone https://github.com/DaveBitter/weather_stream
cd weather_stream

Install the dependencies

npm install

Get the credentials

In order to make use of the API you will need to get a API-ket from the OpenWeatherMap API page. After you obtained the key, copy the contents of example.env to a new file called .env and paste your key.

Start up the server

When you run this command, changes in serverside JS files will be watched and the server will restart automatically, changes in clientside JS files will be watched and browserified and the server will be restarted.

npm start

Additional commands

Browserify clientside JS

npm run build

Watchify clientside JS

npm run watch

Clean clientside build.js file

npm run clean

Wishlist

• Better error handling unfound place
