Ruby on Rails5: Filtering users by City / Country
what is the best way to structure Location information for users? I need to be able filter hundreds of users by City/Country.
Currently I have created a free-text string for location as I could not find any gem for whole cities grouped under countries. Btw this is a custom scaffold, not devise.
Should I just enter as free-text as in city, country and then filter based on that string with alike?
Thank you
I don't recommend usage of free-tex input because you will get different possible entries for the same city and country which will make filteration an impossible task. It is always better to use a drop down list.
Here is a full list of countries and cities using java script.
change the location attribute with two attributes country and state and use the previous list to fill them.
