Airports gives you access to data on airports around the world.
Install the gem (Ruby 2.1.0 and later only):
$ gem install airportsYou can then look up an airport by its IATA code (e.g. LHR for London Heathrow) using Airports.find_by_iata_code, which returns an object with a bunch of accessors like name and city:
Airports.find_by_iata_code("LHR")
=> #<Airports::Airport:0x007fd9a1bbd550 @name="Heathrow", @city="London", @country="United Kingdom", @iata="LHR", @icao="EGLL", @latitude="51.4775", @longitude="-0.461389", @altitude="83", @timezone="0", @dst="E">A couple of other methods provide access to aggregate data.
You can call Airports.iata_codes for a list of valid IATA codes, perfect for Rails validations:
validates :destination_airport, inclusion: { in: Airports.iata_codes, message: "is not a valid airport" }Or Airport.all will provide Airports::Airport objects representing all the airports the gem knows about.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
