Detailed introduction to the project
Before using the Geolocation API

Retrieving weather information through location search
Project Structure
Loading the Geolocation API
The getCurrentPosition() method is used to obtain the user’s current location.
Creating the getWeather method
The latitude and longitude values obtained from the Geolocation API are used as arguments for the getWeather method to fetch weather data from the OpenWeather API.
Communication using Ajax
Real-time weather information is retrieved from the OpenWeather API based on the geolocation coordinates, using the API’s URL as shown in the image. The data is then processed and distributed accordingly.
Updating weather information based on location search
If a search value is provided, it is used as an argument for the getWeather method, enabling communication with the API to fetch weather data for the specified location. If no search value is provided, the geolocation API is used to determine the user’s location and retrieve weather information.
