RightTrackAgency

RightTrackAgency

RightTrackAgency Abstract Class

This abstract class is implemented by various Right Track Agencies which provide the agency-specific configuration information and real-time status information.

The abstract class handles the agency configuration properties and the reading of additional agency configuration files. An implementation of this class should override the feed-related functions to provide a real-time Station Feed.

Constructor

(abstract) new RightTrackAgency(moduleDirectoryopt, configurationopt)

Source:

Abstract class constructor. The implementing agency should call this constructor: super(moduleDirectory) in order to read the default agency configuration and set the initial configuration properties.

This will set the following properties, which are accessible from the implementing agency's Class:

  • moduleDirectory = the root of the agency's module directory
  • config = the agency's configuration (the default configuration or the default merged with an additional configuration if readConfig is used).
  • id = the agency id code
  • name = the agency's full name
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
moduleDirectory string <optional>

The full path to the root of the agency's module directory. This is where relative paths to configuration files will be relative to.
configuration Object <optional>

Returns:

true if the agency has implemented Station Feeds

Type
boolean

(abstract) loadFeed(db, origin, callback)

Source:

This function will need to be overridden by the implementing agency.

Parameters:
Name Type Description

origin Stop

The origin Stop
callback function

Callback function

Properties
Name Type Attributes Description

feed StationFeed <optional>

The built StationFeed for the Stop

readConfig(configFile)

Source:

Read an additional agency configuration file

Parameters:
Name Type Description
configFile string

Path to agency configuration file. Relative paths will be relative to the root of the agency's module directory.

resetConfig()

Source:
