Forecasting Data

#416 Aug 27, 2023 pro

In this episode, we will look at a date range of data and build predictions of what future values will be. However, we won't be reaching for any 3rd party APIs, but instead use statistical models to learn from our data to predict the future dates. We'll also display out our data on a table and plot it to a graph.

View Transitions API

The View Transition API makes it easy to change the DOM in a single step, while creating an animated transition between the two states. Currently, it's available in Chrome 111 and Microsoft Edge. In this episode, we'll create a stimulus controller to interact with this new UX.
