MCR Codes Weather App

This is my weather app project for Manchester Codes as part of the Frontend module.

Description

The main purpose of this project is to:

• Learn the fundamentals of the React library.
• Learn how to test components using BDD with the React Testing Library.
• Understand what 'state' is in React.
• Understand what life cycle methods / hooks are in React.

Features

Using this weather app, you are able to search for the weather in a given location, if the location doesn't exist then an error will be thrown.

Testing

This weather application project was built using a BDD approach. Building the components first, and then later testing to ensure each component meets the acceptance criteria.

All tests are located inside of the ./src/__tests__ directory.

If you wish to run the tests for yourself, you can run npm install to install the dependencies, followed by npm test to run the tests.

App Screenshots

This app was built with a mobile first approach.
