I suppose REST Countries would be a better fit, but, @peric , here's an issue:

should we change the GetCountries project, in order to completely consume the API that I fore-mentioned, or would you like to adjust the call to the geonames API, to the current need?

Here are two points:

1. The first one will make the feature that this issue refers to, easier, but requires enough modifications in the current source, I guess.
2. The second option leaves the current source as is, but has to cleverly combine it with the required "calling country code" fetching from the external API; this also means that we will have two calls to external services.

What's your opinion?

@toubou91, cool ideas...

At the moment, I'm still rewriting current application to use react.js (#24). I got stuck a bit because of other obligations but I think I'll finish this sometimes this week.

Sometimes after that, we can maybe do additional refactoring and use REST countries instead of Geonames, I would just need to check whether all the existing fields can be fetched from there.

So, let's talk after I finish #24 and merge it to master

+1, maybe no.1 is better

Ok, I see that a full refactoring sounds better, to both of you.

Ok @peric, take your time and we 'll talk again soon (, as I have written down some points that need to be clarified, if you finally go for the REST Countries).

Good luck!

Maybe this is an interesting subject for you again? Now when the "rectification" is done.
