A node app for providing live-status of trains along with other information after fetching details from the Indian Railways API. This is solution for the Git-Heat Week-1 challenge. This node app accepts a 5-digit train number as a command line argument.

1. Provided live status of the train
2. Provided other info like - name,schedule,running days of train
3. Stores the result in a .json file for future reference

Cloning and installing dependencies

  git clone https://github.com/AK-007/train-query
  cd train-query
  npm install

Now for getting the command's details for this app

  node app.js --help

Or you can refer to this example for train query

  node app.js -t=12854

1. yargs - Used this as a command-line tool for parsing arguments
2. axios - Used this HTTP client which has built-in promises
3. fs - File system module for reading and writing into files
4. console-table - for well-formatted output

The fileHandler.js is used for reading and writing .json files.

P.S. There are still some trains that exists but the API says otherwise.
