Need to look city-state gem , for update cities , in our gem , currently I have seen there are lots of cities are not available , need to check how we can update that data

gem countries(https://github.com/hexorx/countries) maybe a better choice, this gem maintains well.

"All sorts of useful information about every country packaged as convenient little country objects. It includes data from ISO 3166 (countries and states/subdivisions ), ISO 4217 (currency), and E.164 (phone numbers)."

@kxu1988 thanks for suggestion but they don't provide cities , currently we are looking to add more cities .

I'm also interested in modifying this a bit. Looks like the source of cities / states is linked to https://github.com/loureirorg/city-state. Any plans to merge the db from city-state natively in the app?

@arvindvyas you could submit a pull request to https://github.com/loureirorg/city-state with the new cities you'd like listed.

Edit: found a bit more info on the db source and updated the comment. Added note about pull request.

@matthewvb no plan yet to merge the cities to natively in the app.

I am looking to provide update city method from this gem.

Hi guys,

I just started using your gem, which by the way is awesome, so thanks. When I first started using it the city list was for the UK at least pretty much nothing. But looking at the city-state gem, I have just added a function that runs CS.update . This pretty much gave me all the city but only issue I found is it didn't remove any old mapping.

So not sure if this is a question for you or they guys who wrote city-state. any thoughts?

Thanks

Phil
