IP2Location is a small Laravel package that converts IPs to location.

This package is a wrapper to [IP2Location](https://github.com/chrislim2888/IP2Location-PHP-Module).

## Installation
```shell
composer require saeedvaziry/ip2location
```
## Updating IP database

After the installation, you need to run the following command for updating the IP database.
```shell
php artisan ip2location:update
```
You can also set a scheduler in your `app/Console/Kernel.php` to keep it up to date.

## Usage

### Facade

You can use `\SaeedVaziry\IP2Location\Facades\IP2Location` facade to access to all supported methods.

```php
// returns an array
\SaeedVaziry\IP2Location\Facades\IP2Location::info($ipAddress);

// returns the country full name
\SaeedVaziry\IP2Location\Facades\IP2Location::countryName($ipAddress);

// returns the country 2 character ISO code
\SaeedVaziry\IP2Location\Facades\IP2Location::countryCode($ipAddress);
```
### Helper functions

You may want to access to the methods via helper functions.
```php
// returns an array
ip2location_info($ipAddress);

// returns the country full name
ip2location_country_name($ipAddress);

// returns the country 2 character ISO code
ip2location_country_code($ipAddress);
```
If you don't pass the `$ipAddress` in both Facade and Helper, The method will extract the IP address from the Http request.
