How it works

This module may be useful for students at schools using Untis for the organization of time tables. It uses the node.js wrapper of the WebUnits API by TheNoim and retrieves all lessons in a specified number of days time period. It displays cancelled or irregular subjects so that kids are able to prepare for the next day without pulling the information from the Untis app. The module can be configured for several students.

Dependencies

• node.js Wrapper for WebUntis API (installed via npm install)
