For devs

To run the project

1. Be sure you have nodejs and git installed on your system.

2. Go inside the app folder:

   # Linux
   cd /path/to/YuYuWeather/yuyuweather/
   
   # Windows
   cd "<Drive Letter>:\path\to\YuYuWeather\"

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

4. On an internet browser, go to https://openweathermap.org/, and register for an account.

5. Go to https://openweathermap.org/api, click Subscribe for Current Weather Data, then choose Free tier. Follow any additional steps on-screen. You should then be able to see your API key at https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys.

6. Back to your terminal, use a text editor of your choice (vim,nano,kim, etc...) to add a api.js file:

   <text-editor> ./src/components/weather/api.js

7. Copy this script into api.js:

   const openweather_api = () => {
       return `API`;
   }
   
   export {openweather_api};

   Replace API with the API key you got from https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys. Save the file after making your changes.

8. On your terminal, run the following command to start the project:

   npm start

   The app should start on your default browser after a while. If not, on your browser, type in localhost:3000 on the URL bar.

   Note

   Your localhost port is different if you changed it following the To change localhost port section.

   From now on, you may repeat the command from step 8 for future testings.

To change localhost port

To change localhost port

1. Open package.json inside yuyuweather.
2. Locate the following line:

   "start": "react-scripts start"

   Change it to:

   # For Linux & MacOS
   "start": "PORT=<desire_port> react-scripts start"
   
   # For Windows
   "start": "set PORT=<desire_port> && react-scripts start"

   And replace <desire_port> to your desire port number.
