yarn add @devoxa/ip-geolocation

This module will automatically download a ~85MB IP geolocation database from db-ip.com in a postinstall step.

Usage

import { geolocateIp } from '@devoxa/ip-geolocation'

// Lookup an IP address
// This will take about 50ms and use about 95MB of memory until garbage collected
const result = await geolocateIp('69.10.63.243')
// {
//   continent: { code: 'NA', name: 'North America' },
//   country: { code: 'US', name: 'United States', isInEuropeanUnion: false },
//   subdivision: { name: 'New Jersey' },
//   city: { name: 'Secaucus' },
//   location: { latitude: 40.7861, longitude: -74.0743 },
// }
