end
```

and then run `$ mix deps.get`

# Configuration

Add the path of the IP2Location database to your project's configuration:

```elixir
use Mix.Config

database_file =
[ __DIR__, "../data/sample-ipv6-db24.bin" ]
|> Path.join()
|> Path.expand()

config :ip2location,
database: database_file,
pool: [ size: 5, max_overflow: 10 ]
```

# Usage

```elixir
iex(1)> IP2Location.lookup("8.8.8.8")
%IP2Location.Result{ ... }
iex(1)> IP2Location.lookup("2001:4860:4860::8888")
%IP2Location.Result{ ... }
```

# Benchmarking

```elixir
iex(1)> :timer.tc(fn -> IP2Location.lookup("8.8.8.8") end )
{150, %IP2Location.Result{ ... }}
iex(2)> :timer.tc(fn -> IP2Location.lookup("2001:4860:4860::8888") end )
{152, %IP2Location.Result{ ... }}
