= Tube/Status

A simple MIT licensed Ruby library to access the status of the London

Underground network as returned by the Transport for London

{API}[http://api.tfl.gov.uk].

Before the API was available this library scraped the data from the TFL

website, at the moment the code has been updated to retain mostly the same Ruby

API, while calling the new TFL API, rather than scrape the website. In the

future this library may change to better match what TFL now make available.

== Installation

    $ gem install tube

== Examples

    require "tube/status"

    

    status = Tube::Status.new

    

    broken_lines = status.lines.select {|line| line.problem?}

    broken_lines.collect {|line| line.name}

    #=> ["Circle", "District", "Jubilee", "Metropolitan", "Northern"]

    

    status.lines.detect {|line| line.id == :circle}.message

    #=> "Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 March, suspended."

    

    closed_stations = status.station_groups["Closed stations"]

    closed_stations.collect {|station| station.name}

    #=> ["Blackfriars", "Hatton Cross"]

    

    stations = status.station_groups.values.flatten

    stations.detect {|station| station.name =~ "hatton"}.message

    #=> "Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 March, closed."

    

    status.updated.strftime("%I:%M%p")

    #=> "04:56PM"

    

    status.reload

    status.updated.strftime("%I:%M%p")

    #=> "05:00PM"
