So, here we will use stevebauman/location laravel package. Using this package you can get much information about the utilizer like postal code, zip code, region denomination, state name longitude, country denomination, latitude, iso code, etc. Detect a user's location by their IP Address.
So, let's see how to get the current user location in laravel 9, get the location in laravel 9, and get the location using an IP address in laravel 9.
In this step, we will install laravel 9 to get the user location using the following command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel_9_get_user_location
In this step, we will install the stevebauman/location package using the following command.
composer require stevebauman/location
Now, we will add the service provider in config/app.php file.
If you're using Laravel 5.5 or above, you can skip the registration of the service provider, as it is registered automatically.
'providers' => [
Stevebauman\Location\LocationServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
'Location' => 'Stevebauman\Location\Facades\Location',
],
Now, create a UserController.php file. and add the below code in that file.
app\Http\Controllers\UserController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
class UserController extends Controller
{
public function ip_details()
{
$ip = '103.239.147.187'; //For static IP address get
//$ip = request()->ip(); //Dynamic IP address get
$data = \Location::get($ip);
return view('details',compact('data'));
}
}
Now, we will add a route in the web.php file
routes\web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
Route::get('ip_details', [UserController::class,'ip_details']);
In this step, we will create a details.blade.php file to get current user location details.
resources\views\details.blade.php
