This is some code I recently wrote for the ESP8266. It is based off of the example which can be found on GitHub.
As you know, most of the examples for using the ESP simply hard-codes the SSID and PSK to the device, but I carry it around with me so this is inconvenient. I am very new to C++ programming so any tips will be appreciated.
EDIT 1: Previously my code would unnecessarily stored the credentials twice (thanks to the user below for pointing that out). I've updated my code so that you can now temporarily change the credentials until a reboot (It's useful if you mainly use it at home and carry it around often).
EDIT 2: Fixed a problem with my code, where specifying WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP) would allow devices to connec to the AP but not get an IP Address from DHCP.
EDIT 3: Removed the WiFi.setAutoReconnect() stuff as the WiFi library automatically tries reconnect when signal is lost. ALSO added some led indications so you can know when it's connecting or loses signal (solid for connecting, blinking for lost signal and trying to reconnect)
