A simplest Ruby wrapper around Google Map API

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "googlemap", github: "abunashir/googlemap"

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Don't use this! This is just an experimental project for a specific purpose.

We need to setup Google Map API configuration before we can perform any request throughout this client

First, obtain an API key form Google API console, and once you have it then you can configure the client by adding an initializer with the following code:

Googlemap.configure do |googlemap_config|
  googlemap_config.api_key = "YOUR-SECRET-API-KEY"
end

Googlemap::Geocode.find("valid_address")

To run the whole test suite, please use the following command, by default it won't make any actual API request.

bin/rspec spec/

Once, you have something finalized and if you want to make sure that it is actually working with the actual API or not then use the following command.

bin/rpsec --tag api_call spec/

Note: You will need to setup your actual API key before running the last command, and you can easily set it up by adding GOOGLEMAP_API_KEY in your environment variables.
