DB profile for hafas-client

Deutsche Bahn (DB) is the largest German long-distance public transport company. This profile adds DB-specific customizations to hafas-client. Consider using db-hafas, to always get the customized client right away.

Usage

import {createClient} from 'hafas-client'
import {profile as dbProfile} from 'hafas-client/p/db/index.js'

const userAgent = 'link-to-your-project-or-email' // adapt this to your project!

// create a client with DB profile
const client = createClient(dbProfile, userAgent)

Customisations

• supports 1st and 2nd class with journey()
• supports their loyalty cards with journey()
• parses DB-specific products (such as InterCity-Express)
• exposes the cheapest ticket price for a journey
• parses DB-specific station info

additional station info

With the db profile, hafas-client will return more station information whenever the endpoint provides it:

Using the loyaltyCard option

import {data as loyaltyCards} from 'hafas-client/p/db/loyalty-cards.js'

hafas.journeys(from, to, {
	loyaltyCard: {type: data.BAHNCARD, discount: 25}
})

Using the routingMode option

The default option is REALTIME. An explaination about different routing options can be found in https://pastebin.com/qZ9WS3Cx. The option HYBRID is the default option (as of 18.07.2023) in the iOS DB mobile application and also shows cancelled trains (in contrast to the default option REALTIME).

import {routingModes} from 'hafas-client/p/db/routing-modes.js'

await hafas.journeys(from, to, {
	routingMode: routingModes.HYBRID,
})
