iip - Tiny local IP library

Interface IP is tiny library with few helper methods returning taking opt as parameter and returning simple interface information.

opts param is an object with two propeties:

• family - should be either 'IPv4' or 'IPv6'
• iface - should be one of the available interfaces, eg: 'lo0', 'en0'

Not passing opts param into helper will result in default values

{ family: 'IPv4', iface: 'en0' }

getInfo(opts)

Returns info object from the interface.

console.log(iip.getInfo())
console.log(iip.getInfo({ family: 'IPv4', iface: 'en0' }))

getIP(opts)

Returns local interface address.

console.log(iip.getIP({ family: 'IPv4', iface: 'en0' }))
console.log(iip.getIP())
console.log(iip.getInfo().address)

getIP(opts)

Returns interface mac address.

console.log(iip.getMac({ family: 'IPv6' }))
console.log(iip.getMac())

getIP(opts)

Returns interface mac netmask.

console.log(iip.getMask({ family: 'IPv6' }))
console.log(iip.getMask())

getAll()

Returns all interface

console.log(iip.getAll())

equivalent to

require('os').networkInterfaces();
