API Clients

In this project, we'll enhance the solution to the Umbrella project by:

• Writing a class called GmapsClient to encapsulate the logic of working with the Google Maps API.
• Use the Twilio::REST::Client to send a text message.

Solution

There is a solution in the file called solution.rb.

• You can run it to see how the program should behave:

  ruby solution.rb
  

• Try it out with some rainy locations — you should be able to find some using this live radar.

• Don't peek at the solution until you've tried things yourself.
