geokit | geolocation related tools , all packaged in one easy | Map library

I'm using Ruby (2.7.2p137), Ruby on Rails (v6.0.3.4) and Geokit-rails (2.3.2).

I'm trying to pass the user's location into a method from the Geokit-rails gem. To do this, I am trying to use an AJAX request to pass user's HTML5 location from JavaScript to Rails controller.

Update: Class variables were required to do this rather than instance variables. This is explained in the answer.

Below is the error/response from the server when the show_location method is called:

One of my classes depends on the gem Geokit, which doesn't provide an RBI file of its own nor is it included in the sorbet-typed repo. I hand-wrote a couple RBI files for it myself, including signatures for the methods that I use in my own code.

When I attempt to change the class that depends on Geokit to typed: true, it complains that the methods I'm using don't exist.

The class typechecks fine under typed: false.

geokit.rbi

So I've searched through all the documentation on Geokit for rails and didn't find any setup process for it except for installing the gem which I know how to do. what tables do I add to an existing "listings" table?

I've like I said, have it installed. And I've added the acts_as_mappable to the listings ruby file.

Ever since creating a different rails project I have been getting this mysql requirement error on every project that I have.

I have tried installing 'mysql' and 'mysql2' (even though I'm using postgres) gem with bundler. I have tried different ruby versions, different rails versions, different bootsnap versions, I switched from rvm to rbenv. None of my rails projects are able to run.

The bootsnap error appears with the following. /lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:22:in `require': Could not load the 'mysql' Active Record adapter. Ensure that the adapter is spelled correctly in config/database.yml and that you've added the necessary adapter gem to your Gemfile. (LoadError)

This is the full traceback

I have a Rails 5 API only project. I have nodes that have latitude/longitude details stored on them. I am using the Rails Geokit gem to do some of the other geographic work.

I want to return to the consuming client the bounding box that contains all of the points contained in an array. Is there a simple way to do this? Most of the examples show you using an already known bounding box, not generating one.

I have a rails 4 app where I am trying to find all applications within N number of miles. Based on geokit-rails documention HERE I should be able to do:

I am struggling with using the geokit gem in a Ruby on Rails application when supplied with an address to return anything other than nil.
