ReactJS Projects: Weather Map

Intermediate Level Project

Description

The Weather Map project integrates a map display with weather data overlays, allowing users to view real-time weather data on an interactive map. It uses a weather API to fetch data and plot it on a map, providing a visual way to understand weather patterns.

Requirements

The Weather Map application should include the following features:

  • Embed a map component that users can interact with.
  • Use a weather API to fetch current weather data.
  • Overlay weather data like temperature, humidity, and conditions on the map.
  • Allow users to search for locations and view the corresponding weather.

Key Concepts

  • Integration of third-party APIs for data fetching.
  • Handling asynchronous operations and updates in React.
  • Working with interactive UI libraries like Leaflet for maps.
  • Styling an interactive application using Tailwind CSS.

Learning Objectives

After completing this project, students will be able to:

  • Integrate external APIs and handle JSON data in a React application.
  • Design interactive user interfaces using map libraries.
  • Handle asynchronous API requests and update the UI accordingly.
  • Use advanced CSS frameworks for a responsive layout.
