I have a small issues with my code.
Basically, I have a form in my index.html file:
The form from page 1 is the following:
For this form, I want to use OpenWeatherMap API in order to get some weather data. My problem is the following:
I want to get what the user inputs in the form, which I think I can get by using, for example:
var searchInput = document.getElementById("searchInput");
In this variable I can store the location.
And this variable, I want to append to the link that does fetch the data from the API, in the javascript code.
When the user inputs, for example: New York, and press Search, the form action should redirect him to page2.html
, where there I can show the weather data.
How can I show that weather data in the page2, with the location input from page1? I tried many times but no luck.
Some Javascript code down below:
let units = 'metric';
let searchMethod = 'q';
let searchButton = document.getElementById("searchBtn");
let searchInput = document.getElementById("searchInput");
if (searchButton) {
searchButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
let searchTerm = searchInput.value;
if (searchTerm)
searchWeather(searchTerm);
});
}
function searchWeather(searchTerm) {
fetch(`http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?${searchMethod}=${searchTerm}&APPID=${appId}&units=${units}`).then(result => {
return result.json();
}).then(result => {
init(result);
})
}
function init(resultFromServer){
let weatherDescriptionHeader = document.getElementById('weatherDescriptionHeader');
let temperatureElement = document.getElementById('temperature');
let humidityElement = document.getElementById('humidity');
let windSpeedElement = document.getElementById('windSpeed');
let cityHeader = document.getElementById('cityHeader');
let weatherIcon = document.getElementById('documentIconImg');
weatherIcon.src = 'http://openweathermap.org/img/w/' + resultFromServer.weather[0].icon + '.png';
let resultDescription = resultFromServer.weather[0].description;
weatherDescriptionHeader.innerText = resultDescription.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + resultDescription.slice(1);
temperatureElement.innerHTML = Math.floor(resultFromServer.main.temp) + '°' + " C";
windSpeedElement.innerHTML = 'Winds at ' + Math.floor(resultFromServer.wind.speed) + ' mph';
cityHeader.innerHTML = resultFromServer.name;
humidityElement.innerHTML = 'Humidity levels at ' + resultFromServer.main.humidity + '%';
}
That is some javascript code which should get the weather data.
Then, in page2, I have the following in HTML:
>
I expected to have the weather data in page2, where the divs are.
Can somebody give me an advice, please?
Thank you!
