Note: this project is a modification of the
bartDownproject created by James Wardle (@powerlanguage).
dartDown displays the estimated departure times for a DART station. It aims to make functional information aesthetically pleasing so it can be displayed in the home. North and South-bound departures are on the top and bottom row respectively. Colors denote the relative distance of the final destination from the city center (Malahide/Greystones = dark green, Howth/Bray = light green).
See it in action: https://mcguinlu.github.io/dartDown/
dartDown can be customized using the following url parameters:
?station=gcdk- station of origin abbreviation, default Grand Canal Dock.?limit=5- number of trains to display in either direction, default 3?minute_cutoff=2- departure times below the cutoff will not be displayed, default 3- You can chain multiple parameters together using & E.g. https://mcguinlu.github.io/dartDown/?station=mhide&limit=5&minute_cutoff=5
- Because the Irish Rail API does not require a key, I can host the app via GitHub pages. Otherwise, I'd need a hosting solution that allows for secrets.
