Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'locode'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install locode
Find Locations whose full name or full name without diacritics matches the search string
Locode.find_by_name('Göteborg')
#=> [<Locode::Location: 'SE GOT'>]
Find Locations that partially match the Search String. This means you can search by just the country code or a whole LOCODE.
Locode.find_by_locode('US')
#=> [<Locode::Location: 'US NYC'>,>
<Locode::Location: 'US LAX'>, ... ]
You can also retrieve Locode's by the different functions, for example:
Locode.seaports()
#=> [<Locode::Location: 'DE HAM'>, ..]
There are a lot of locations so you can also limit the amount of locations returned by passing a amount:
Locode.inland_clearance_depots(1)
#=> [<Locode::Location: 'DE HAM'>]
These are the possible function calls:
- seaports(limit)
- rail_terminals(limit)
- road_terminals(limit)
- airport(limit)
- postal_exchange_offices(limit)
- inland_clearance_depots(limit)
- fixed_transport_functions(limit)
- border_crossing_functions(limit)
