Displaying weather data

In this section, we will create an Angular application to display weather information for a city. The user will enter the name of the city in an input field, and the application will use the OpenWeather API to get weather data for the specified city. We will cover the following topics in more detail:

  • Setting up the Angular application
  • Communicating with the OpenWeather API
  • Displaying weather information for a city
