In this video, I work with Tommaso Allevo (https://twitter.com/AlleviTommaso) on a Rust crate that helps you to generate URLs for Google Maps Static API (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/overview)

The crate is called gmaps-static and you can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/lmammino/gmaps-static

In this live stream, we explained what the crate does, and then we did some interesting refactoring using trait objects (https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/types/trait-object.html), type erasure (https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/traits-and-type-erasure-trait-objects/11263), and dynamic dispatch (https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.8.0/book/trait-objects.html) to reduce code duplication in the code responsible for assembling all the query string parameters of the URL.
