What I learned

Use this section to recap over some of your major learnings while working through this project. Writing these out and providing code samples of areas you want to highlight is a great way to reinforce your own knowledge.

To see how you can add code snippets, see below:

  useEffect(() => {
    try {
      const getInitialData = async () => {
        const res = await fetch(`https://ipapi.co/json/`);
        const data = await res.json();
        setAddress(data);
        console.log(data);
      };
      getInitialData();
    } catch (error) {
      console.trace(error);
    }
  }, []);

 <MapContainer
              center={[address.latitude, address.longitude]}
              zoom={13}
              scrollWheelZoom={true}
            >
              <TileLayer
                attribution='&copy; <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
                url="https://api.maptiler.com/maps/streets-v2/256/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=EXz1FCjaWJDfj8xr50rN"
              />
              <Markerposition address={address} />
            </MapContainer>
}

Continued development

Want to continue to focus on to make it theme-responsive map.

Useful resources

• Tailwind Docs - This helped me for understanding tailwind concepts and its uses. I really liked this using it and will use it going forward.
• React-Leaflet - This is an amazing article which helped me finally understand Leaflet in React. I'd recommend it to anyone still learning this concept.
