Technical Implementation

Architecture

The application follows Next.js 14 App Router conventions with a component-based architecture:

// Weather data fetching with proper error handling
async function getWeatherData(location: string) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`/api/weather?location=${location}`);
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Weather data unavailable');
    return await response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to fetch weather data:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}
