In part1-ajax-calls.js, you are asked to grab one of three datasets we have provided via a dataset repository on the class github account. Simply make an ajax request for the data and log the successful result to console. Remember to use AJAX!
Hint: github allows you to view the raw (unstyled) version of any file. Use this to find the appropriate URL for AJAX, otherwise you'll grab the HTML document which contains the styled JSON. This is not what we want!
In part2-app-state.js, you will be tasked with writing a function for creating, adding, and removing markers from the map based on data retrieved from the internet. This task will require that you keep track of the markers somehow: look to the bottom of the file
In part3-application.js, you will use
what you've learned thus far in the course to write a full application
with working user input. The user input portion of the task is handled
for you — all you need to do is define the appropriate functions which
are called from code that we've written. Once you've appropriately
defined the resetMap, getData, and plotData functions we've
provided, you should have a fully functioning application complete with
user input. Be sure to look through all the part3 js files to get a
sense of how the pieces work.
In particular, look at the variables that are being set in main.js and
think about how function scope is being used.
