Google.Maps.Proxy

F# proxy for google maps api that allows you to proxy calls to the Directions and AutoComplete Apis from google. Built using the Giraffe web framework and functional types that allow a responsible approach to error/exception handling.

Setup:

• In the command line, cd into the root folder of the project and run $ .paket/paket.exe install to install the paket extension for vs code.
• Use the paket restore command to restore the packages locally.(https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/index.html - for more info)
• Add the gogole api key to the code in the Src/Controllers/GoogleApiHelpers.fs file on line 12: let googleApiKey = "GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY"

Why?

It's a good habbit to not expose external api keys on the publicly exposed client of an application.
