README
# Bus Stop App
Create a bus stop look up application using an REST API, Google Maps, Google Geocoding API.
# Getting Started
## Running App
```
git clone [email protected]:dennislo/outofview.git
npm install
bower install
grunt serve
```
Once app is started follow the instructions inside app to perform a search for bus stops
* Building 'production' deployable package from source
```
grunt build
```
Once build finishes then copy `dist` folder output to your web server
## Using app
Instructions:
1. Type in a London Borough or Postcode in the input textbox
2. Click the "Go!" button and wait for the app to load closest surrounding bus stops
3. Select a bus stop "red dot" on the map to view and click "View Departures"
# Information / Notes
**NOTE:** Transport API does not have CORS support, therefore app currently uses mocked Transport API responses.

## Potential improvements - if time permitted
* Remove JSON response mocks, as the Transport API does not support CORS e.g. enable dynamic look up of bus stops
* Add 'real' unit tests using jasmine/karma e.g. test driven development
* Add validation to input box e.g. prevent submission on empty
* Add loading spinners for AJAX calls e.g. indicate processing
