GeoIP for Lumen

Determine the geographical location of website visitors based on their IP addresses.

Installation

To install this package, just install through composer

$ composer require codenexus/lumen-geoip

Providers

Next, open bootstrap/app.php and add under the Register Service Providers section:

...
$app->register(Codenexus\GeoIP\GeoIPServiceProvider::class);

Update MaxMind GeoLite2 City database

Run this on the command line from the root of your project:

$ php artisan geoip:update

Usage

GeoIP will try to determine the IP using the following http headers: HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_X_FORWARDED, HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_FORWARDED, REMOTE_ADDR in this order. Optionally you can set an IP as the only parameter to set it.

$record = app()->geoip->getLocation('232.223.11.11');
$record = GeoIP::getLocation('232.223.11.11'); // If you have enabled facades

print($record->country->isoCode . "\n"); // 'US'
print($record->country->name . "\n"); // 'United States'
print($record->country->names['zh-CN'] . "\n"); // '美国'

print($record->mostSpecificSubdivision->name . "\n"); // 'Minnesota'
print($record->mostSpecificSubdivision->isoCode . "\n"); // 'MN'

print($record->city->name . "\n"); // 'Minneapolis'

print($record->postal->code . "\n"); // '55455'

print($record->location->latitude . "\n"); // 44.9733
print($record->location->longitude . "\n"); // -93.2323

Other Methods

These methods are also available to use within your applications.

app()->geoip->checkIp($ip) // Checks IP to make sure IP is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address and not within a private or reserved range
app()->geoip->getIp() // Returns the detected client IP

Default Location Data

When an IP is not detected it will be set to 127.0.0.1 which will ultimately throw an Exception. If you are not in production your record will default to the following data.

array (
    "ip"           => "232.223.11.11",
    "isoCode"      => "US",
    "country"      => "United States",
    "city"         => "New Haven",
    "state"        => "CT",
    "postal_code"  => "06510",
    "lat"          => 41.28,
    "lon"          => -72.88,
    "timezone"     => "America/New_York",
    "continent"    => "NA",
    "default"      => false
);
