My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow
• Postcss Script
• Vanilla Js
• LeafLetJs APi
• GEOIP API

What I learned

This is my first ever Js project to include an external API. I learned through the coding process how to interact with the behaviour of an API. I dived a little deep into the API docs to get to know some important concepts such as options inheritance among the API classes.

Continued development

I plan on getting myself more aquainted with the use of the different API's out there as they contribute a lot in the performance of any kind of project.

Useful resources

• (https://www.stackoverflow.com) - This helped me in how to use certain leafletJs option keys.
• (https://www.github.com) - Helped me solve some misuses I had with the API by checking its github's issues section.
