Configuration

Currently, runtime configuration is not supported and will be available in an upcoming release. The following parameters are hardcoded and can be changed before building.

// The interval which to update the hover text for the system tray icon
const trayUpdateInterval = 1000 * 10;
// The interval which to fetch data from the API
const fetchInterval = 1000 * 60;
// Busses due before this time will not be displayed in the system tray. This will not effect balloon notifications. If there are no busses due at or after this time, the next bus will be displayed.
const trayIgnoreBefore = 8;
// The stop to get data for
const stopID = '878';
// the route to get data for. This can be set to null to get all busses for a stop.
const routeID = '11';

To Build

Just run the following from the command line from the dublin-bus-electron repo:

npm run build

All platforms will be built.
