* [Angular v15](https://angular.io/)
* [Ionic/angular v6](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ionic/angular)
* [Ionic storage-angular v3](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ionic/storage-angular)
* [Weatherstack weather API](https://weatherstack.com/documentation)

## :floppy_disk: Setup

* `npm i` to install dependencies
* Get yourself an API key from [weatherstack.com](https://weatherstack.com/) and add to `weather.service.ts` line 4
* To start the server on _localhost://8100_ type: 'ionic serve'

## :computer: Code Examples

* Extract from `weather.service.ts` that gets data from the API.

```typescript
export class WeatherService {

constructor(private httpClient: HttpClient) {}

getWeatherFromApi(city: string) {
return this.httpClient.get(`http://api.weatherstack.com/current?access_key=${apiKey}&query=${city}`);
}
}
```

* Extract from `list.page.ts` function to get API weather data.

```typescript
getWeather() {
this.ionicStorage.get('city').then( city => {
if (city === null) {
this.weatherService.getWeatherFromApi('madrid').subscribe( weather => {
this.weather = weather;
console.log(weather);
});
} else {
this.weatherService.getWeatherFromApi(city).subscribe( weather => {
this.weather = weather;
console.log(weather);
});
}

}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
}
```

## :cool: Features
