Retrieve list of country/state/city list for use in AEM component

[cquser1]

Hi All,

Suppose we have a component dialog and we would like to show the above information in the corresponding drop downs.

Any webservices/api's that can be used to meet this requirement.

Any reference articles/pointers on how this can be done, will be helpful.

Hi Saurabh,

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry for not being too clear. Actually I need to pull this data from say

Geonames or Google Geocode.

Any reference articles/pointers on how to go about this will be helpful.

Hey,

DataSource gives you have the complete control on to your business logic in JAVA. http://www.adobeaemclub.com/implement-datasource-for-drop-down-using-sightly-aem-6-1/

You can call the APIs from where you are planning to collect data and return it inside datasource.

Have a look at GitHub - googlemaps/google-maps-services-java: Java client library for Google Maps API Web Services

Thanks

Hey,

Mostly you will get JSON or XML response from these Geoname or Geocode APIs.

Assuming you are using TouchUI, you can parse over that response and create the DataSource using the links provided. Same can be included in component's dialog as select for populating dropdown.

Thanks!!
