The following is an implementation which demonstrates how to create a simple weather forecast app using Angular.

This project allows you to view the current weather conditions, as well as a 16 day future weather forecast. Weather locations are searched by ip address (on initial page load), gps position, and by searching by entering a city, state, or region in the search box.

All location and weather information is obtained by using real data from APIs. Geolocation is used to predict nearest location match.

To get started, make sure you have a package manager like Node.js installed. Node.js is used to install packages.

You’ll also want to have Angular cli installed. Visit the official documentation for more information on how this is done.

Next, navigate to the project directory in the terminal, then run the following commands (Node.js):

Project Setup


npm install


Compiles and hot-reloads for development


npm run start


This project implements a simple weather forecast app which has the following features:

1. Display the current weather and 16 day daily future forecast for a location
2. Search weather by GPS position location, ip address location, and/or by city, state, region
3. Make API calls for each of the above actions
4. Make use of multiple components to display information

Initial weather information for a current location based off ip address

Custom scroll animation when viewing daily forecast

Getting weather information from current GPS position

Result from entering a custom search location
