• Expo Go (a mobile app for testing)

Project Structure

The project is organized as follows:

• app/: Contains the main application code.
  • _layout.tsx: The root layout component for the app.
  • index.tsx: The main entry point for the weather functionality.
  • components/: Contains reusable components like WeatherInfo, WeatherMap, and CoordinatesModal.
  • types/: Defines TypeScript interfaces for weather data and location data.
  • hooks/: Custom hooks for managing weather data.
  • services/: Contains the weather service for fetching weather data from an API.
  • utils/: Utility functions for handling location data.

Step 3: Developing the App

You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. The project uses file-based routing, making it easy to manage navigation and components.
