Inspiration

As the theme of the this particular hack is about summer and summer is all about road journey and going from place to place. Most people do a research about the place they are going to. Two most important things are:

  1. Weather 2.Distance and mode of transport So inspired from that i have built this particular application which tells you the weather conditions of that place along with distance and time taken to travel by fetching the details from Weather and Google Map API.

What it does

i have built this particular application which tells you the weather conditions of that place along with distance and time taken to travel by fetching the details from Weather and Google Map API. It is a project about going on a journey during the summers which tells us the weather of that place and along with that also tells us the distance from our native place by fetching the data using API such as irt uses openWeather API along with google Maps API for calculating the distance between two places. We are using EJS as the templating engine to display them on the webpage

How we built it

We built it using Nodejs,ExpressJS for Backend part of it For Frontend part i have used HTML,CSS,BOOSTRAP along with that i have used ejs as the templating engine and served them suing nodejs and express js I have deployed the same on heroku app by directly linking with GitHub

Challenges we ran into

Integrating the API and Displaying it on the webpage was a challenge as we needed to show the required thing on the page and nothing more So overcoming that was a big task Along with that handling error while displaying the map on the webpage and showing the distance between source and destination

What we learned

I have learned all about integrating API in my webpage and then displaying the required things on my webpage using JavaScript i have used two APIs in this project 1.Weather API 2.Google Maps API

What's next for SummerCheck

Next i would like to Integrate Twilio API with this so that the users can also get a message with the details on their registered phone no and make it more convienent.
