Usage

// Specify locations in this format

tflJourneyPlanner(locations, options, function(results){
  console.log(results); // Do awesome stuff with the TFL results!
});

Locations

Locations can either be specified like:

locations = {
  to: {lat: 51.5002452, lng: 0.0035842},
  from: {lat: 51.5131652, lng: -0.0905267}
}

or with their text value

locations = {
  to: 'Aldgate East',
  from: 'London Bridge'
};

However, using text values will more than likley have many matches, so your response may not be as you'd planned.

or with postal codes/ text addresses

locations = {
  to: 'SE18 7PH',
  from: 'EC3M 3AD'
};

Specifying additional options

The second param is a JSON object where you can put any of the following (all are optional):

Specify options like this:

options = {
    walkingOptimization: true,
    bikeProficiency: 'easy',
    accessibilityPreference: 'noEscalators'
}
