This project is generated with yo angular generator version 0.15.1.
Type A is designed only for very basic digital signage systems (Appspace, in this example) that can only handle generic dynamic data as retrievable, plain text files.
Type A will continuously generate text files if the URL is refreshed in the signage software. It does not rely on an internal timer for simplicity. In Appspace, an HTML “bug” can be placed in a sign application that refreshes itself every few seconds to call for new data. Within Appspace, “Plain Text” widgets in the sign layout pull their respective text file data via http, e.g. 47ronin.com/appfolder/output/output_stockQuote.txt
Instead of using forecast.io’s icon for weather conditions, Type A will spell out the summary. Stock direction will simply be a + or - prepended to the parsed Change JSON value.
Type A is split into two URLs: / and /stocks. The / URL calls the MainCtrl controller and outputs only weather information as a POST variable called payLoad. The /stocks URL calls the StockCtrl controller and outputs stock information as a POST variable called payLoad. Both call process.php to write the files into an output directory.
process.php checks if each POST variable is set before attempting to overwrite the text files in the output directory. If a variable is not set (not sent via POST) then it will move on, leaving the current target file intact.
