GoogleMapsAPI::Directions

This is a wrapper around the Google Maps Directions API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'google_maps_api-directions'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install google_maps_api-directions

Usage

GoogleMapsAPI::Directions.route(origin, destination, options = {})

Origin and destination can be an a string or anything that supports to_ary. Options is a Symbols Hash with optional parameters. (See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/#RequestParameters for more information).

For Google Business/Enterprise requests, include the :key, :client and optionally, :channel in the options hash.

Examples:

origin = "350, 5th Ave, NY"
destination = [40.777552, -73.954732]
options = {:language => 'pt'}
GoogleMapsAPI::Directions.route(origin, destination, options)
# => #<GoogleMapsAPI::Directions::Response:0x00000001f2b510...>

The GoogleMapsAPI::Directions::Response mimics the API JSON structure.

If you wish to call #coordinates on GoogleMapsAPI::Directions::EncodedPolyline objects, you will need to install the https://rubygems.org/gems/polylines gem.

I am new to Ruby and Testing. We need better specs.

Important

• Do not touch the version;
• Write specs for new features;
• Be independent of Rails stuff;
• All specs must pass.
