📚 General info

• Home page: User post code search will show a list of retail outlets open to the public within the vicinity of the local RATP station. Note, only post codes with RATP stations will show a list (e.g. 75005 Paris has RATP, but 31000 Toulouse has no RATP), otherwise an error message is shown to try a different post code.
• Tailwind Responsive Table used to show RATP data
• RATP page: shows status of metro, rer & tramways using Tailwind micro-cards
• Parking page: shows location of disabled parking as a cluster of icons+popups on a Leaflet map
• About and Contact pages give more information on app using Tailwind css cards
• Website is in French
• To build for production Tailwind’s purge option is used to tree-shake unused styles and optimize final build size.
• rxjs take(1) operater used to take first element from the Github observable then close it, so unsubscribing is not necessary.
• Latest ng flow control @if and @for used in HTML templates.

getRatpCommerceData(query: string): Observable<RatpResponse> {
  const params = new HttpParams()
    .set('dataset', 'commerces-de-proximite-agrees-ratp')
    .set('q', query)
    .set('rows', '10')
    .set('refine.sort', '-code_postal');

  const userSearchUrl = `${this.baseUrl}${params.toString()}`;

  this.ratpCommerceData = this.http.get<RatpResponse>(userSearchUrl).pipe(
    catchError(err => {
      throw new Error('Error in getting API data. Details: ' + err);
    })
  );

  return this.ratpCommerceData;
}

🆒 Features

• The RATP & Github APIs do not require an API key
• Lazy-loading of all pages except 'Home'
• HTTP headers added due to Content Security Policy for prefetch-src, X Content Type Options, X Frame Options, Content Security Policy
• Postcode search form with validation and error messages checks that only a 5-number postcode is entered
• Tailwind build for production css purge results in a very small styles bundle (8.16kB latest)
• Progressive Web App (PWA)
• Excellent Google Chrome Lighthouse scores for pages: home: 100%, about: 100%, contact 98%
• Netlify deployment set up so commiting a build folder to Github will update the deployment automatically

📋 Status & To-Do List

• Status: Working, deployed to Netlify. All files pass linting. App passes unit tests.
