and install it’s dependencies (execute inside the repository):

sudo apt-get install jq
npm install bower -g
npm install uglify-js -g

cd opening_hours.js && npm i && cd ..

How does it work?

The map uses OpenLayers to show a base map from OpenStreetMap. An additional optional layer shows POIs which are tagged with opening_hours. The data for this additional layer is queried for from the OverpassAPI. The basic query in OverpassQL looks like this:

[out:json][timeout:3][bbox:{{bbox}}];
(
    node["opening_hours"];
    way["opening_hours"];
);
out body center 1000;

Dependencies

• This map is build with OpenLayers.
• The opening_hours evaluation is handled by the opening_hours.js library.

Credits

• Big thanks goes to Netzwolf how created some OpenLayers extensions and examples. He also created the same map showing opening_hours with his JS implementation (which is withdrawn in favour of opening_hours.js). Big parts of his code are still in use for the map. Although most code around the opening_hours interpretation was rewritten.

• Also thanks to FOSSGIS for hosting a public instance of this service. See the wiki.
