Learning Node.js Development is a practical, project-based book that provides you with all you need to get started as a Node.js developer. Node is a ubiquitous technology on the modern web, and an essential part of any web developers' toolkit.

Chaining callbacks together

In this section, we'll take the code that we created in the last section, and break it out into its own file. Similar to what we did with the Geocoding API request where we called geocodeAddress instead of actually having the request call in app.js. That means we'll make a new folder, a new file, and we'll create a function in there that gets exported.

After that we'll go ahead and learn how to chain callbacks together. So when we get that address from the Terminal we can convert that into coordinates. And we can take those coordinates and convert them into temperature information, or whatever weather data we want to pull off of the return result from the Forecast API.
