This weather app consists of showing the current weater and the next five-day forecast for London. Once the application is rendered for the first time, the current weather and the forecast for the next five days is rendered on the page together with a minute countdown and a progress bar that shows how many seconds are left for the next weather display.
Once one minute has passed, the current weather and the forecast are refreshed. The countdown and the progress bar also get restarted.

1. First render: The current weather and the next five days forecast data fetched and displayed. A minute countdown starts together with the progress bar

2. After one minute: The information is refreshed and the countdown is reseted together with the progress bar

1. Clone the repo in your code editor git clone https://github.com/david-lorenzo-vargas/weather-app.git
2. Install NPM packages npm install
3. View the project in the browser: npm run start
4. Testing: npm run test

As the app is built with React and the state is managed with Redux, I have split the logic between Components and Containers.

The first category contains components with their contents and styles rendered on the page (e.g Text, Icon, Progress bar components) and the second category contains a component that communicates with Redux store (WeatherAppContainer).

State contains logic related to Redux store.

API enpoints are called with fetch() function GET method, the information is fetched from two different API endpoints:

1. Current weather: api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city name}&appid={API key}
2. Five day forecast: api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q={city name}&appid={API key}

1. Day: "dt":1487246400
2. Temperature "temp": 8.7
3. Icon "icon":"01d"

The array needs to be reduced to display a five day forecast with the Day, Temperature and Icon.
As the days are received in timestamps, Dayjs library has been used to convert them into days.
The temperature can be received either in Celcius by adding to the API call units=metric or in Fahrenheit by adding to the API call units=imperial. The temperature in Kelvin is used by default, no need to use units parameter in API call.
The icon is received by an ID that needs to be coverted into an image by using http://openweathermap.org/img/wn/10d.png where “10d” is the icon id.

As the data is sotred in the Redux store, in case an API call is "reject" (apart from the first render as the Redux store is empty), the application will show the information of the last "succesfull" call.

TDD Testing has been implemented with Jest for testing a complex functionality inside Forecast component that needs to reduce a 40 item array into a 5 item array to display the next five day forecast.

In addition to current code of the app, I believe the following implementations would be beneficial:

• Local storage: save the data received in the local storage, in case the user refrehes the page and the API call is "rejected", it would be possible to display the last data fetched succesfully.
• Geolocation: to get the weather of the user by using the geolocation of the user and use it for calling the API on mount.
• Search input: an input where the user would be able to search the current weather and the forecast by city name.

Approximate time for implementation and tests: 4-5 days.
