Requirements

• Docker
• A valid OpenWeather API Key (You can get it from OpenWeather)

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository

   Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/pmiczewski/weather-app.git
   cd weather-app

2. Set up your environment

   Copy the .env.example file to .env:

   cp .env.example .env

3. Configure the OpenWeather API Key

   Open the .env file and add your OpenWeather API key:

   OPEN_WEATHER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

4. Run the application

   Install dependencies:

   docker run --rm \
    -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    -v "$(pwd):/var/www/html" \
    -w /var/www/html \
    laravelsail/php83-composer:latest \
    composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

   Start Docker containers using Laravel Sail:

   ./vendor/bin/sail up

   Migrate and seed the database:

   ./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate --seed

   Once the containers are up and running, build the assets:

   ./vendor/bin/sail npm run dev

5. Access the application

   The application should now be running. Open your browser and go to: localhost

Additional Notes

• Make sure Docker is running before starting the application.

• If you're encountering any issues, try rebuilding the containers:

  ./vendor/bin/sail down
  ./vendor/bin/sail up --build

• By default, Sail creates a separate testing database to prevent interference with your main database. Before testing, ensure you migrate the testing database
