WEATHER JOURNAL APP

This is Udacity Project #3

The requirements are:

• set up a local node / express server installing cors, body-parser, and express

• create a front end website with form fields prompting the user to type in a zipcode and how they were feeling on that day

• semd post request to backend express with zip code

• make fetch request to Open Weather with zip code

• update the UI using server data and the users feelings

BONUS: Map Quest API to generate local map

• as an added bonus, there is another outgoing fetch request made to mapquest with an additional API key

The following code was used to generate a local map taken from the sample code at [https://developer.mapquest.com/documentation/mapquest-js/v1.3/examples/basic-map/]

<script type="text/javascript">
      window.onload = function() {
        L.mapquest.key = 'lYrP4vF3Uk5zgTiGGuEzQGwGIVDGuy24';

        var map = L.mapquest.map('map', {
          center: [37.7749, -122.4194],
          layers: L.mapquest.tileLayer('map'),
          zoom: 12
        });

        map.addControl(L.mapquest.control());
      }
</script>

where latitude and longitude were obtained from the Open Weather data and then subsequently passed in to the mapquest API to generate the map

I learned a lot from Brad Traversy's YouTube video on maps [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FQrFah9rnc&t=2627s]
