At one point, I needed to produce a static image of the map with some overlays, which is something that Leaflet doesn't support out of the box, nor has a plugin that worked for me. Since the images would be produced based on user input, they had to be generated on the spot and not created in advance. My options were:

How I built a weather forecast app with location map in React & Leaflet!

Called WeatherMan React hosted on Github Pages, link to github profile here.

It is made in plain React (uses Context, no fancy Redux needed). Styling is done using Bootstrap and SASS.

You can search any location from a huge list of over 100,000 places and fetch 7 day weather forecast. Additionally, I also added a location map shown in Leaflet where you can show layers made of temperature, cloudy etc.

Weather service used is OpenWeatherMap - It has a one call API which returns Hourly and Minutely forecast too.

Here's a little image snippet:

Advantages of a JavaScript Map

I wrote a previous blog post about JavaScript Set objects so I naturally wanted to follow it up with a post about JavaScript Map objects. Sets and Maps could be considered distant cousins or estranged siblings to the more popular and workhorse Arrays and Objects, and a Map in particular is like a hybrid Object/Array (okay, I may be the only one who considers this).

Differences between JavaScript Map and Object

Does this mean both map and object are similar to one another??

Well, both let us set keys to values, retrieve those values, delete keys, and detect whether something is stored at a key. Due to this reason, Objects were previously used as Maps. But there are important differences that make using a Map preferable in certain cases.
