Usage

With Callbacks

var ipLocation = require('ip-location') ipLocation('github.com', function (err, data) { console.log(data) })

Outputs:

{ ip: '192.30.252.129', country_code: 'US', country_name: 'United States', region_code: 'CA', region_name: 'California', city: 'San Francisco', zip_code: '94107', time_zone: 'America/Los_Angeles', latitude: 37.7697, longitude: -122.3933, metro_code: 807 }

With Promises

var ipLocation = require('ip-location') ipLocation('github.com') .then(function (data) { console.dir(data) }) .catch(function (err) { console.error(err) })

Set Your Own Promise Implementation

You can set your own Promise library if you want to use Bluebird or are using Node v0.10.

var ipLocation = require('ip-location') ipLocation.Promise = require('bluebird')

Use in Browser / or Use Own HTTP Library

If you want to use this in the browser, you must bring your own http GET library to the party. I'd recommend: xhr or fetch.

var ipLocation = require('ip-location') ipLocation.httpGet = function (url, callback) { fetch(url).then(function (resp) { return resp.text() // don't use json() }).then(function (text) { resp.body = text // body should always be set to a string callback(null, resp) }).catch(function (err) { callback(err) }) }

Fetch Your Location

Just pass in an empty string.

ipLocation('', function (err, myLocation) { console.dir(myLocation) })
