Using GeoIP to obtain user geographical location information in Laravel

This article mainly introduces the use of GeoIP in Laravel to obtain user geographical location information. It has certain reference value. Now I share it with you. Friends in need can refer to it

I recently needed a user region detection to set the user's default region and currency. toann/geoip , created by Daniel Stainback, satisfies the requirements of providing GeoIP services for Laravel 5 projects very well.

This Laravel GeoIP package supports a number of services, including the default ip-api.com service, a downloadable Maxmind database and the Maxmind API. You can also easily add a common service through this configuration.

The basic use of this package is to reference the geoip() helper function, which can optionally pass the IP address parameter. Here is an example of an Address object based on an IP address:

\Torann\GeoIP\Location {

    #attributes:array [
        'ip'           => '232.223.11.11',
        'iso_code'     => 'US',
        'country'      => 'United States',
        'city'         => 'New Haven',
        'state'        => 'CT',
        'state_name'   => 'Connecticut',
        'postal_code'  => '06510',
        'lat'          => 41.28,
        'lon'          => -72.88,
        'timezone'     => 'America/New_York',
        'continent'    => 'NA',
        'currency'     => 'USD',
        'default'      => false,
    ]
}

As you can see, the Address object contains some locale information that helps determine the user's currency, time zone, and country ISO code.

If the target address is not found, a configurable backup address can be used instead, and the default parameter is set to true. You can override the default settings. The default configuration is as follows:

'default_location' => [
    'ip' => '127.0.0.0',
    'iso_code' => 'US',
    'country' => 'United States',
    'city' => 'New Haven',
    'state' => 'CT',
    'state_name' => 'Connecticut',
    'postal_code' => '06510',
    'lat' => 41.31,
    'lon' => -72.92,
    'timezone' => 'America/New_York',
    'continent' => 'NA',
    'default' => true,
    'currency' => 'USD',
],
