Usage

The geolite2 is automatically attached to HTTP requests, allowing you to use it to retrieves informations about the geolocation of requesting IPs.

router.get('/', ({ geolite2 }: HttpContext) => {
  const country = geolite2.country()
  const city = geolite2.city()
  const asn = geolite2.asn()

  return { country, city, asn }
})

If no parameter is provided to the functions, it uses request.ip(). Alternatively you can pass the IP you want to lookup.

router.get('/', ({ geolite2 }: HttpContext) => {
  const country = geolite2.country('8.8.8.8')
  const city = geolite2.city('8.8.8.8')
  const asn = geolite2.asn('8.8.8.8')

  return { country, city, asn }
})
