A rails app which gets users location using HTML5 geolocation and saves to data base

Question

Seems pretty simple but I\'m struggling.

Here\'s what I have so far in the view. I display the location coords just to test its working. But I also want to persist on Da

Answer 1

You can try an "easier" way, use geocoder gem, this provides multiple methods in order to fetch the user location, one of them is by request.

request.location.city => Medellin
request.location.country => Colombia
