Parsing Data and Printing - Solution

1:14 with Andrew Chalkley

In this video I'll show you how I parsed the data and printed in to the console.

Documenation

  • 0:00

    At the top of the weather.js file, I've implemented a printWeather function

  • 0:06

    that takes in a JSON object returned from the API and prints out this city,

  • 0:14

    And the temperature in Fahrenheit.

  • 0:17

    The reason I'm getting the city from the location, rather than the query inputted

  • 0:21

    by the user, is that if a user is to put in a zip code and

  • 0:26

    made a slight error with one of the numbers, at least they'll see an easily

  • 0:30

    understandable location to help spot their mistake.

  • 0:36

    Finally, down in the response, where the end event handler is,

  • 0:41

    we're parsing the JSON here and printing out the weather location.

  • 0:48

    Let's see the output in action.

  • 0:53

    Node app.js 90210.

    Awesome, your next challenge is to handle any connection parsing status code and

  • 1:06

    any other errors that your program might encounter.

  • 1:11

    Good luck, and I'll share with you my solution in the next video.
