Prerequisites

• Ruby: A Ruby version manager is highly recommended for installing Ruby and required Gems. You can find more information on available Ruby managers here: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/#managers

Objectives

• Implement caching where location query responses are stored in a SQL database to speed-up subsequent searches (note: cache invalidation is not a requirement).

• Add an appropriate weather icon to location weather result (show template). See MetaWeather API documentation for details: https://www.metaweather.com/api/

  Hint: Match weather_state_abbr with appropriate weather icon made available a: https://www.metaweather.com/static/img/weather/png/64/?.png.

Optionals

• Replace Rails view templates with React or Vue.

• Implement a simple interface that allows an “admin” to review, add, or remove locations from the cache (authentication is not required).
