Features
A small weather app using data from the National Weather Service (NWS)
Description
Using Vue for data binding this app provides both current data, forecast predictions, and weather map for a ZIP code in the United States. The data is obtained from the National Weather Service (NWS) which is supported through federal taxes dollars. This library is markup agnostic and simply provides an object you can inject into your design.
Usage
Download & Installation

Use the NPM package manager to install forecast-js.
npm install --save @warnick/forecast-jsUsing UNPKG
Simply, include the CDN links in the head of your HTML. (See above for typical use).
