Creating an Edge App

[maudem]

Story: https://phorge.wireload.net/T8616

Changes:

• Created a transportation app and wrote notes on my experience
• Linke to notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TlPiu0x4fpSCZDxEh8XMS76xbK0zEiyjU9OrN_Nhxgg/edit

Update

• Changed app to use Washington Metro Area Transit Authority's API because it had more data to work with
• edge-apps/wmata-transit-status

To do:

• Find list of delay types and set them to different colors
• Create reademe and a list of stop to search through
• Find a good way to display alert descriptions, they can be rather long

Please fix the location of this. It's overriding the existing TFL edge app.

Is where it is in the file structure causing the problem?

Hi @maudem, Sharing a few suggestions I have.

TFL App

The new APP

Could you please follow the TFL App design?

• Station/Stop Name should be aligned to the and near to the Bus icon
• Bus status should be listed near the ETA - When I run the app, I can't find the status option populated.
• The App should support the standard screen size listed here.

Other General suggestions.

• Use a specific name for PR
• Use an application-specific name for the edge app - If it's a generic app, then it should named such as
• Provide installation documentation, where to get the API and how to add..etc
