Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'nomadlist'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install nomadlist
To create a connection require 'nomadlist' in your code and add Nomadlist::City.find(city_id).result[0] where city_id is the name of the city followed by the country.
As an example, let's say I had a blog that I was building where I wanted to pull in some cool data about the cities I was visiting.
On my post model I could add a column called city_id...
city_id = "amsterdam-netherlands"
Now we can jump over to my posts controller and add...
require 'nomadlist'
After that's done I can add the following to my show method...
def show
@post = Post.friendly.find(params[:id])
@place = Nomadlist::City.find("amsterdam-netherlands").result[0]
end
Great! Now we've done that we can do the following commands
<%= @place.info.city.name %> = 'amsterdam'
<%= @place.info.country.city.name %> = 'netherlands'
<%= @place.info.weather.type %> = 'Partly Cloudy'
and much more!
