Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/autocomplete_locations. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'autocomplete_locations', github: 'https://github.com/elitmus/autocomplete_locations', branch: 'master'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Mount it in routes.rb:

mount AutocompleteLocations::Engine => "/"

Load javascript file in application.js:

//= require autocomplete_locations/location_autocomplete

Run rake task:

$ rake location_fixes:init_autocomplete_locations_module
$ rake db:migrate
$ rake location_fixes:update_locations

Add these lines if they don't exist

In your Gemfile

gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'jquery-ui-rails'

In your application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui

And in application.css

 *= require jquery-ui

To add location as a reference to your table:

$ rake location_fixes:add_location_to_table table='TableName'

If the table is already populated with some city name:

$ rake location_fixes:update_location_to_model model='ModelName' column='city_column_name'

For a model having autocomplete_location_id, search query can be concatenated for finding cities with same city_id:

ModelName.at_city_id(autocomplete_location_id)

But before saving or searching using the city_id obtained from the form, validate it's location first and then fetch id again using:

ModelName.city_id(location_column_value) #use this autocomplete_location_id

Enabling javascript on an autocomplete_field:

$("#city_input_field_id").locationAutocomplete(data, "#hidden_city_id_field", "#city_input_field_id", "#state_field_id option");

In your factories.rb, require autocomplete_location gem's factories.

require 'autocomplete_locations/factories'

For each tables with autocomplete_location_id as a foreign key, add this line:

autocomplete_location_id { create(:autocomplete_locations).id }

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/elitmus/autocomplete_locations.

Problems: What if same city name exist in different states%
