1. Run npm install
2. Run npm test
3. Run npm start
4. Open Browser
5. Go to url: "http://localhost:8080/locations/
6. To show temperature in Celsius/Fahrenheit use url: "http://localhost:8080/locations/?scale=<Celsius/Fahrenheit>"

Write an API application that allows users to check the current temperature.

The API application should provide one route:

GET /locations/{zip-code}

The response should be returned with 200 status code with a payload in JSON format as follows:

{ "temperature": number "scale": "string" }

where "temperature" is a number representing the current temperature of the specified zip code and "scale" is either "Fahrenheit" and "Celsius".

By default, Fahrenheit will be returned. However, users can optionally specify "scale" as a query string when making a call.

Example:

To get Blacksburg's current temperature:

Request:

GET /locations/24060

Response:

200

{ "temperature": 43 "scale": "Fahrenheit" }

To get Beverly Hills, California's current temperature in Celsius:

Request:

GET /locations/90210?scale=Celsius

Response:

200

{ "temperature": 25 "scale": "Celsius" }

To get Chicago's current temperature in Fahrenheit:

Request:

GET /locations/60606?scale=Fahrenheit

Response:

200

{ "temperature": 63 "scale": "Fahrenheit" }

Weather data can be obtained from Yahoo.

These are the requirements your submission must fulfill to be considered correct.

• The application is developed using either JavaScript or TypeScript.
• The application is available at http://localhost:8080 after invoking npm install followed by npm start
• Your code is something you'd be comfortable putting in production and having your team maintaining
• Send us a URL to a public git repo or a zip file containing all source code and any artifacts for the solution. Please do not include any binary files.

These should be fulfilled, but if they aren't please let us know why.

• Your code is tested in some automated fashion when invoking npm test
• Source control history (e.g. the .git directory or a link to Github)

Stretch goals. If you fulfill these requirements, you get bonus points, but they aren't required.

• Design rationale

We look forward to reviewing your solution within a few day from the time we sent this assignment to you.
