Add location header to templates

[ignacio-chiazzo]

The API just released, adding the location to the template via headers:

API responses to template creation and editing requests now include the template's status and category.

Sure @Aaryanpal!

The template API code lives in the messages_api file.

@Aaryanpal have you had a chance to look at it?

Hey @ignacio-chiazzo

I see this issue has been stale for quite some time, and I'd like to take a peek. I'm still learning the ropes of the API and this codebase. So, to clarify a bit on the ask

Is this the approach you'd like to have when sending templates with location headers?

Let me know if I'm on the right track or missing something

location = WhatsappSdk::Resource::Location.new(
  latitude: 25.779510,
  longitude: -80.338631,
  name: "My Miami Store",
  address: "820 NW 87th Ave, Miami, FL"
)
location_parameter = WhatsappSdk::Resource::ParameterObject.new(type: "location", location: location)
location_component = WhatsappSdk::Resource::Component.new(
  type: WhatsappSdk::Resource::Component::Type::Header,
  parameters: [location_parameter]
)

messages_api.send_template(
  sender_id: 123,
  recipient_number: 123,
  name: "location_test",
  language: "en_US",
  components: [location_component]
)

I haven't tried myself but the API says you need to specify the format: Location

Feel free to open a PR with the changes and a test case.

Yeah, when creating a template with a location header you must pass the `"format": "location"

However, you don't have to when sending a template—I'll open a PR, and we can continue the discussion there.
