How do you implement work with cities?

Question

Ruby on Rails

It is necessary to implement work with cities in Russia, but I still have little idea how to do it without unnecessary troubles. Please tell us how you work with cities? In short, you need to do the same as on brainstorage, i.e. a text field and a drop-down list that suggests which city is suitable. Perhaps there is a ready-made gem with cities in Russia?

Answer 1

I don’t write in RoR, but here is a universal answer for any mvc framework:
1) Create a table in the database and the corresponding model in the application
2) Fill the table with cities. The list can be taken from here basicdata.ru
3) Attach https://github.com/brianreavis/selectize.js/ in the view, for example
