Project structure

The two main folders of the project are src and build.

• src

  • components: in this application, if a React component contains other component as well is considered a real "component" and is first class citizen of this folder.
  • controolers: all the functionalities that are done (take api, do other stuff) which are also used from the components are placed here.
  • elements: all the functional components that don't have child are placed inside this folder
  • public: for now it only contains the global css which is eventually importend inside the react app

• build: it contains the ouput of the npm run build command which packs all the application inside a single script that is imported than inside the index.html file.

Where to start?

The main intro file is src/index.js. It wraps and expose the method for rendering the whole application. Plus it include some polyfill that maybe usefull in some old browser env.

The export in src/index is strictly connected with webpack.config.js.

Then there's the App.js file which is the entry point for the actual react app.

This approach has been preferred rather than a pure CRA app due to the fact that in this way the whole widget could be integrated, triggered and modified using javascript module best practices.

How to play

• npm i
• npm run start : live
• npm run build : build files inside build folder

Note

For this demo two sets of api have been used:

• WheaterBit for weather info
• Google Map API for the map: because now Billing method are required for use the free tier of api it may now works properly

TODO:

• display error

  • if user deny location permission
  • if user already denied location permission
  • if timeout happens

• write errors for bad api response

• full responsive design

• full set of icon for mode CODE weather conditions

• jest test & snapshot

• storybook
