Weather App

A simple Node + Express backend with a static frontend. The backend proxies requests to OpenWeatherMap so the API key is kept on the server.

Quick start

1. Copy .env.example to .env and set your OPENWEATHER_API_KEY.

cp .env.example .env
# edit .env to set OPENWEATHER_API_KEY

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Run locally

npm run dev    # for development (nodemon)
npm start      # for production

Deployment notes

• Provide the OPENWEATHER_API_KEY environment variable on the host (Render, Vercel Serverless functions, Fly, etc.).
• The app uses PORT from the environment if provided.

Example Render setup

• Build command: npm install
• Start command: npm start
• Set an environment variable named OPENWEATHER_API_KEY with your key

Security

• Do not commit your real .env file with the API key to version control. Use .env.example as a template.
