Carbon Data Visualisation
A project created for a technical exercise, I demonstrated my approach to calling an API to get carbon data and visualising that data in a web application. I went for a Next app to hit the ground running using the create-next-app template meaning I had TypeScript and Tailwind configured out of the box. For the graph I use a library called chart.js to create a line graph to display the data.
