🌩️ Weather Watch

Introducing Weather Watch, the app that delivers accurate weather forecasts, ensuring you’re always prepared for the day’s weather with a smile!

This task is designed to evaluate your proficiency in mobile app development, particular with React Native and TypeScript.

Exercise

Create a mobile application using React Native that encompasses the following:

• Display the location name, current temperature and an image representation of the weather using a location of your choice when the application opens.
• Display a weekly weather forecast for the selected location.
  • Display an average temperature, rounded up.
  • Display an image that best represents the weather for the day.
• Include a search function that allows users to look up weather by a location name.
  • If there are multiple locations returned by the API, give the user an option to select one.
  • When selecting a location, the weather forecast should update.

Resources

• Use the Open Meteo API to obtain a weather forecast, changing the latitude and longitude where required. Don’t use any packages related to Open Meteo when interacting with the API.
• Use the Open Meteo Geocoding API to obtain a latitude and longitude for a given location.
• Use the helper function getWeatherImage to map between a WMO weather code coming from the Open Meteo API and an image representation of the weather.

Note: All APIs listed above are free to use without sign up.

Requirements

• Create a fork of this repository.
• Use React Native and TypeScript.
• Ensure the app works on iOS and Android.
• Showcase your software’s testing capabilities to ensure it meets requirements by testing:
  • One complex component.
  • One helper function.
  • One API request.
• Ensure that the entire application test suite is passing.
  • Please do not remove any tests from the current project.
• Ensure that your solution accounts for edge cases and handles unusual or unexpected scenarios effectively.
• Ensure that your code is passing TypeScript compiler and ESLint checks.
  • These jobs have already been defined in package.json.
• Don’t spend longer than 2 hours on this technical test.
• Don’t focus too much time on the visual aspects of the app, favour simple layouts and basic styling using React Native libraries over using a UI kit.

Keep in mind that your test submission (app and tests) can be evaluated in different timezones.

Submission

Submit a link to your forked repository with your application contents. Make sure the link is accessible.

Happy Coding
