We will be designing and building a simple Local Weather app with Angular and a third-party web API, using an iterative development methodology. You will focus on delivering value first while learning about the nuances and optimal ways of using Angular, TypeScript, Visual Studio Code, Reactive Programming, and RxJS.
In this chapter, you will learn the following:
- Planning out your roadmap using Waffle as a GitHub-connected Kanban board
- Crafting a new UI element to display current weather information using components and interfaces
- Using Angular Services and HttpClient to retrieve data from OpenWeatherMap APIs
- Leveraging observable streams to transform data using RxJS
The code samples provided in this book require Angular version 5 and 6. Angular 5 code is runtime compatible with Angular 6. Angular 6 will be supported in LTS until October 2019. The most up-to-date versions of the code repositories may be found at the following:
