Home Dashboard Train Manager

A Node Express app for piggy backing the api of Huxley to get train timetables for my home dashboard. This project basically just reformats the JSON response from Huxley into a more basic model for my dashboard.

🙌 Big thanks to James Singleton for making Huxley!

Pipeline

• Travis tests the repo using npm test, which runs mocha 'tests/**/*.js' --exit
• Once the tests pass, Heroku deploys the app.
• When the app is deployed, you can make requests to it here.
• You will need an API key to make requests. You can get one here.

Endpoints
