This project aims to be a fully featured iOS and Android public transit application. It utilizes the GTFS feed data served via a GraphQL API for the NYC MTA (primarily), serving subway, Long Island Railroad, Metro North Rail, buses in all five boroughs, and will include NYC Ferry, as well as other data sources. See the following projects to learn about the APIs that power this app:
GTFS GraphQL API: https://github.com/jurevans/gtfs-graphql-api/
GTFS-Realtime GraphQL API: https://github.com/jurevans/gtfs-realtime-graphql-api/
The following .env variables are required to build this app:
MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
GTFS_API_GATEWAY_URL=http://localhost:4000/graphql
GTFS_API_GATEWAY_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThis app uses MapBox, and will need a valid key to load the map. You will need to create an account with MapBox to obtain a MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN to set in this file.
You will also need to add a "downloads API" token to the /android/gradle.properties, like so:
# Key for MapBox Downloads API
MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThe GTFS_API_GATEWAY_URL and GTFS_API_GATEWAY_KEY must be valid to access the GraphQL API. Presently, only the gtfs-graphql-api and gtfs-realtime-graphql-api APIs are in place, but an API gateway merging these schemas is being developed that will serve this app.
This project requires the react-native-cli. Starting up Metro and launching the emulator is straightforward, assuming that your environment has been configured according to the React Native environment setup docs:
# Start metro (in a separate terminal)
npm start
# OR
npx react-native start
# Launch app on Android
npm run android
# OR
npx react-native run-android
# Launch on iOS
npm run ios
# OR
npx react-native run-iosRead more about the frameworks and libraries this app utilizes at the links below:
