The journey: aprendemos!

---

Getting Travis set-up: realised very soon we needed the owner to authorise travis on the repo, but once it was set-up if you had a travis account you could see all the repos you're apart of.

• so technically you can spy on other people's builds

---

We got it set up on Slack so that we were notified at each build even if you don't have a travis account and dashboard

• add app in slack (takes you to slack site)
• choose channel for notifications
• add code to .travis.yml file

language: node_js
node_js:
  - "node"
notifications:
  slack: foundersandcoders:vCDquX9W7QOCHGAQzf3esLif

• By the end of day 1 we had our CSS and HTML sorted and a skeleton for building the API.
• And so we started day two very positive: let's do two api calls!
• both calls were working but we could only send an ugly object to the front end
• we also hit our limit on the tfl api at 3pm
• for three hours we wrestled with this problem - why was an object being sent (making a new page with it's contents) but our console.logs in the api call weren't working??

Las lecciones:

• add your front end js to your html!!!! 💡
• try to rewrite rather than take legacy code from other projects
• console.log everything
• walk it off
