Configuration

We're using the oldskool method of a config.js file to do the configuration. You'll need to create this before you run it. There's an example shown in config.example.js (just rename it to config.js and edit it). It should look something like this:

     module.exports = {
        'httpPort': 3000,
         'nrSecurityToken': 'xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx', // this is a security token from OpenLDBWS
         'nrLDBWSurl': 'https://lite.realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/OpenLDBWS/wsdl.aspx?ver=2016-02-16', // this is the SOAP endpoint for LWDB
         'tfl': {
           'appId': 'xxxxx',
           'appKey': 'xxxxx'
        },
         'lat': 51.451860, // latitude and longitude of the space
         'lon': -0.100861,
         'stationCRS': 'HNH',// this is the CRS code of the station you want to display the departure board for
         'icalAddress': 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/6hnjp743rq7omi2qfr3fa873ug%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics'
     }

     bower install
