TransitOnRails is a web application built for viewing Washington, DC transit information. The application borrows it’s ideas and styling (for now) from github.com/MobilityLab/TransitScreen and was largely built as a thought experiment in converting a codeigniter app to Rails.
TransitOnRails runs like any Rails application. Clone the application to your repository, run a bundle install, set up your database, and you’re good to go:
bundle install rake db:create rake db:migrate rails s
In order to pull back WMATA data your user account will need a valid WMATA developer API key. The application provides the ability to easily seed in a user.
1. Edit the user file at db/seeds/user.yml with the appropriate information. Note that email and password are required 2. Run rake db:seed:users.
Alternatively, you can configure ActionMailer appropriately and sign up via the application interface.
