Previewing HTML output

Previewing HTML output​

It can be useful to run the example Express application included in the dist/app folder as a way to quickly preview all routes or see changes you are making to custom template.

After an initial run of gtfs-to-html, the GTFS data will be downloaded and loaded into SQLite.

You can view an individual route HTML on demand by running the included Express app:

    node ./dist/app

By default, gtfs-to-html will look for a config.json file in the project root. To specify a different path for the configuration file:

    node ./dist/app --configPath /path/to/your/custom-config.json

Once running, you can view the HTML in your browser at localhost:3000
