This is a project of my own design. The long-term objective is to provide information to a user that can be used as part of planning trips to breweries. This project will be split into multiple parts and will be periodically enhanced as I progress through more Node.JS topics covered in Jonas Schmedtmann's Node.JS Course.

Part 1 of this project centers around practicing asynchronous JS behavior. It includes API calls and other asynchronous activities using promises. The information gathered in the Part 1 exercise will be used in Part 2 to build dynamic web pages that will be served to the user. This exercise was designed to practice information from Sections 3-5 of the aforementioned NodeJS course.

The user can input a state of interest. An API is called to retrieve the towns and cities in that state. The user can then select a city/town. That information is then used to serve the user with the predicted weather for the next 5 days. It is also used to give the user a list of breweries in the city they supplied. With this information, the user can make an informed decision regarding which breweries to visit or if they'd like to visit a brewery at all (given the weather)

Call three API's and feed this information to the user in a palatable manner. Handle errors that may occur. Store the information requested by the user in a format that can be called upon later by the server.

Run the index.js file to get started. Input the state then city of your choice into the console. Weather and nearby brewery information will be provided via a generated HTML page (resultsPage.html). The information will also be placed into a JSON file.

Part 2 of this project will focus on providing the information gathered in Part 1 to a user on a client-side browser. This information will be displayed in a desktop-focused layout. New information requests for information will be initiated by the user, such as brewery website links. Breweries will be displayed on a map, thus an open-source Map API will be used as part of the presentation to the client.

Part 3 of this project will focus on enhancing the functionality of the site. The goal of this part will be to enable a user to map routes to breweries such that they can create their own custom itinerary. A routing API will be needed for this step.

Long-term, information regarding the taplist at locations of interest would be ideal for those user planning trips around their favorite styles. This will either require a custom API or a pre-existing API that requires fees.

Use npm to insall inquirer and nodemon (or whatever server-hosting method you prefer).
