Create Weather App in HTML Bootstrap and JavaScript

CodingNepal — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 13:00:33 +0000

In today’s digital age, weather apps have become an essential tool for staying informed about ever-changing weather conditions. As a beginner web developer, the idea of creating your weather app can be both exciting and educational.

In this blog post, I’ll guide you through the steps of creating a responsive weather app project using HTML, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. By creating this weather project, not only will you learn the basics of DOM manipulation, event handling, and CSS styling, but you’ll also gain valuable experience working with APIs.

In this weather app, users can enter the name of a city and get different weather details like temperature in Celsius, wind speed, humidity, and a 5-day forecast. But if you wish, you can easily add or remove the particular weather details because we’ll use the OpenWeatherMap API, so you’ll have access to a wide array of weather information.

Steps To Create Weather App in Bootstrap & JavaScript

To create your own weather app project using HTML, Bootstrap, and JavaScript, follow these step-by-step instructions:

Create a folder. You can name this folder whatever you want, and inside this folder, create the mentioned files.
Create an index.html file. The file name must be index and its extension .html
Create a style.css file. The file name must be style and its extension .css
Create a script.js file. The file name must be script and its extension .js

To start, add the following HTML codes to your index.html file. Since we’ve used Bootstrap for this project, the design, and layout are almost ready and responsive. After saving the HTML file and opening it in your browser, you’ll see a header, a search box on the left side, and some placeholders for weather details.

                  Wind: __ M/S
                  Humidity: __%

Next, add the following few CSS codes to your style.css file to add custom styling to some elements like font family, and image width.

/* Import Google font - Open Sans */
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans:wght@400;500;600;700;800&display=swap');

* {
  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}

.current-weather img {
  max-width: 120px;
  margin-top: -15px;
}

Finally, add the following JavaScript code to your script.js file to make the weather app functional, which means getting different weather details for an entered city.

const cityInput = document.querySelector("#city-input");
const searchButton = document.querySelector("#search-btn");
const currentWeatherDiv = document.querySelector(".current-weather");
const daysForecastDiv = document.querySelector(".days-forecast");

const API_KEY = "PASTE-YOUR-API-KEY"; // Paste your API here

// Create weather card HTML based on weather data
const createWeatherCard = (cityName, weatherItem, index) => {
    if(index === 0) {
        return `
                    
                        ${cityName} (${weatherItem.dt_txt.split(" ")[0]})
                        Temperature: ${((weatherItem.main.temp - 273.15).toFixed(2))}°C
                        Wind: ${weatherItem.wind.speed} M/S
                        Humidity: ${weatherItem.main.humidity}%
                    
                    
                        
                        ${weatherItem.weather[0].description}
                    
                `;
    } else {
        return `
                    
                        
                            (${weatherItem.dt_txt.split(" ")[0]})
                            
                            Temp: ${((weatherItem.main.temp - 273.15).toFixed(2))}°C
                            Wind: ${weatherItem.wind.speed} M/S
                            Humidity: ${weatherItem.main.humidity}%
                        
                    
                `;
    }
}

// Get weather details of passed latitude and longitude
const getWeatherDetails = (cityName, latitude, longitude) => {
    const WEATHER_API_URL = `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?lat=${latitude}&lon=${longitude}&appid=${API_KEY}`;

    fetch(WEATHER_API_URL).then(response => response.json()).then(data => {
        const forecastArray = data.list;
        const uniqueForecastDays = new Set();

        const fiveDaysForecast = forecastArray.filter(forecast => {
            const forecastDate = new Date(forecast.dt_txt).getDate();
            if (!uniqueForecastDays.has(forecastDate) && uniqueForecastDays.size < 6) {
                uniqueForecastDays.add(forecastDate);
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        });

        cityInput.value = "";
        currentWeatherDiv.innerHTML = "";
        daysForecastDiv.innerHTML = "";

        fiveDaysForecast.forEach((weatherItem, index) => {
            const html = createWeatherCard(cityName, weatherItem, index);
            if (index === 0) {
                currentWeatherDiv.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", html);
            } else {
                daysForecastDiv.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", html);
            }
        });        
    }).catch(() => {
        alert("An error occurred while fetching the weather forecast!");
    });
}

// Get coordinates of entered city name
const getCityCoordinates = () => {
    const cityName = cityInput.value.trim();
    if (cityName === "") return;
    const API_URL = `https://api.openweathermap.org/geo/1.0/direct?q=${cityName}&limit=1&appid=${API_KEY}`;
  
    fetch(API_URL).then(response => response.json()).then(data => {
        if (!data.length) return alert(`No coordinates found for ${cityName}`);
        const { lat, lon, name } = data[0];
        getWeatherDetails(name, lat, lon);
    }).catch(() => {
        alert("An error occurred while fetching the coordinates!");
    });
}

searchButton.addEventListener("click", () => getCityCoordinates());

Please note that your weather app is currently unable to retrieve weather details because you have not provided your API key in the AP_KEY variable. To get a free API key from OpenWeatherMap, sign up for an account at https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys.

In the code, there are two API calls. The first call gets the geographic coordinates of the city entered by the user. These coordinates are then used in the second call to retrieve the weather details, which are subsequently displayed on the page. Feel free to experiment with the code to gain a better understanding of its functionality.

Conclusion and Final Words

In conclusion, this blog post has guided you through the process of creating your own weather app using HTML, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. By following the steps outlined here, I hope you have successfully created your own weather app and learned how to work with APIs.

Steps For Creating Responsive Portfolio Website in Bootstrap

To create a responsive personal portfolio website using HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap follow the given steps line by line:

Create a folder. You can name this folder whatever you want, and inside this folder, create the mentioned files.
Create an index.html file. The file name must be index and its extension .html
Create a style.css file. The file name must be style and its extension .css
Download the images folder and put this folder inside the project folder. This folder has all the images that will be used for this portfolio website. But, if you want, you can use your own images.

To start, add the following HTML codes to your index.html file: These codes include all the necessary CDN links, website layout, and different sections. Since we’ve used Bootstrap for the portfolio website, it’s nearly complete here without the need for extensive custom CSS.

Remember, adding your own personal touch by customizing the website with your unique details and requirements can greatly enhance its overall appeal.

Responsive Filterable Image Gallery in HTML Bootstrap & JavaScript

CodingNepal — Fri, 05 May 2023 10:09:50 +0000

A filterable image gallery is a type of image gallery that allows users to filter or sort the displayed images based on certain categories or tags. This is one of the essential elements on today’s website, as it allows users to easily find the images they are interested in without having to scroll through a long list of images.

Creating a filterable image gallery using HTML, Bootstrap, and JavaScript can greatly enhance your web development skills. With Bootstrap, a popular front-end framework, you can easily create responsive website elements that adapt to different screen sizes and devices.

The purpose of this blog post is to provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to create a filterable image gallery using these three essential technologies: HTML, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. The step-by-step instructions and clear explanations in this post will help you to develop a practical understanding of the process involved in building a filterable image gallery.

Steps for a Filterable Image Gallery in Bootstrap and JavaScript

To create a responsive, filterable image gallery in HTML, Bootstrap and JavaScript, follow the given steps line by line:

Create a folder. You can name this folder whatever you want, and inside this folder, create the mentioned files.
Create an index.html file. The file name must be index and its extension .html
Create a style.css file. The file name must be style and its extension .css
Create a script.js file. The file name must be script and its extension .js
Download the images folder from Google Drive and put this folder inside the project folder.

To start, add the following HTML codes to your index.html file to create a basic layout for the image gallery and filter tabs.

            Mountains
            Lorem ipsum dolor..

            Fast
            Lorem ipsum dolor..
          
        
        
          
          
            Classic
            Lorem ipsum dolor..
          
        
        
          
          
            Men
            Lorem ipsum dolor..
          
        
        
          
          
            Girl
            Lorem ipsum dolor..

Next, add the following CSS codes to your style.css file to style the image gallery and make it interactive and beautiful. Since we’ve used Bootstrap, we don’t need to write more CSS.

/* Import Google font - Poppins */
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;500;600&display=swap');

* {
  font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
}

body {
  background: #f1f1f1 !important;
}

body .container {
  max-width: 1100px;
}

#filter-buttons button {
  border-radius: 3px;
  background: #fff;
  border-color: transparent;
}

#filter-buttons button:hover {
  background: #ddd;
}

#filter-buttons button.active {
  color: #fff;
  background: #6c757d;
}

#filterable-cards .card {
  width: 15rem;
  border: 2px solid transparent;
}

#filterable-cards .card.hide {
  display: none;
}

@media (max-width: 600px) {
  #filterable-cards {
    justify-content: center;
  }

  #filterable-cards .card {
    width: calc(100% / 2 - 10px);
  }
}

Finally, add the following JavaScript code to your script.js file to make the image gallery filterable when the user clicks on a specific filter tab.

// Select relevant HTML elements
const filterButtons = document.querySelectorAll("#filter-buttons button");
const filterableCards = document.querySelectorAll("#filterable-cards .card");

// Function to filter cards based on filter buttons
const filterCards = (e) => {
    document.querySelector("#filter-buttons .active").classList.remove("active");
    e.target.classList.add("active");

    filterableCards.forEach(card => {
        // show the card if it matches the clicked filter or show all cards if "all" filter is clicked
        if(card.dataset.name === e.target.dataset.filter || e.target.dataset.filter === "all") {
            return card.classList.replace("hide", "show");
        }
        card.classList.add("hide");
    });
}

filterButtons.forEach(button => button.addEventListener("click", filterCards));
