Climatic: Weather Data Downloader

Climatic is a weather data application built using various technologies, including React, Node.js, MongoDB, and hosted on Netlify using serverless functions.

Features

For Visitor: Simply displays weather data in an HTML table for locations selected via a double-click event. No download options enabled.

For Authenticated User: Download weather data filtered by the timestamps of past interactions. The various formats available are:

• .json
• .xlsx
• .csv
• .txt

Dependencies

Climatic relies on some uncommon dependencies, including:

• mapbox-gl
• @mapbox/mapbox-gl-geocoder
• @reduxjs/toolkit- Much more simpler than configuring redux stores in the traditional manner
• exceljs
• react-csv
• react-datepicker
• redux-thunk
• Tomorrow.io's Weather API

Build Instructions (for hosting on Netlify)

Follow these steps to host Climatic on Netlify:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.

2. Source the API keys and relevant connection URLs mentioned in the .env.example file.

3. Hosting options:

   • Host the entire app under the same domain name (Option 1):

     • Specify the functions folder in their website's UI.
     • Specify all the environment variables in their UI.

   • Host the SPA separate from the serverless functions (Option 2):

     • Set CORS headers in both pre-flight and response stages.
     • Specify all the environment variables in their UI.

4. Change the src/api/index.js file to reflect the domain name of your choice.

If you choose to host the serverless functions on AWS Lambda/EC2 or a similar platform, you will need to set CORS headers in both the pre-flight and the response stage (since the domain names will differ now).

With these steps, you can easily deploy Climatic and start using it to access weather data.
