GeoIp is a simple component providing location information for a given IPv4 or IPv6 address.

Example:

$geo = new \Webiny\GeoIp\GeoIp(new \Webiny\GeoIp\Provider\FreeGeoIp\FreeGeoIp());
$location = $geo->getGeoIpLocation('8.8.8.8');

// output
array(
   'continentCode' => NULL,
   'continentName' => NULL,
   'countryCode' => 'US',
   'countryName' => 'United States',
   'cityName' => 'Mountain View',
   'subdivision1Code' => 'CA',
   'subdivision1Name' => 'California',
   'subdivision2Code' => NULL,
   'subdivision2Name' => NULL,
   'timeZone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',
)

Depending on the provider, different information will be available. The GeoIp standard library comes with 2 providers:

• FreeGeoIp: uses the https://freegeoip.net/ API
• MaxMindGeoLite2: uses the GeoLite2 database provided by MaxMind (requires a Mongo database)

Install GeoIp

The best way to install the component is using Composer.

composer require webiny/geoip

For additional versions of the package, visit the Packagist page.

Setup

FreeGeoIp

If you plan to use the FreeGeoIp API, no setup is required, just create a provider instance and pass it to the GeoIp class, like so:

$providerInstance = new \Webiny\GeoIp\Provider\FreeGeoIp\FreeGeoIp()

$geo = new \Webiny\GeoIp\GeoIp($providerInstance);
$location = $geo->getGeoIpLocation('8.8.8.8');

MaxMindGeoLite2

This provider requires a Mongo database, that is configured using Webiny\Mongo component. In addition to the database, some other parameters are also required, so here is an example config:

MaxMind:
    GeoLite2Url: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City-CSV.zip
    Language:  en
Entity:
    Database: GeoIp
Mongo:
    Services:
        GeoIp:
            Class: \Webiny\Component\Mongo\Mongo
            Arguments:
                Host: 127.0.0.1:27017
                Database: YourDatabase ## CHANGE THIS
                Username: null
                Password: null
                CollectionPrefix: ''

The MaxMind section defines the download location of the GeoLite2 database and the language for the location name that will be imported from that database. The Entity and Mongo section are standard configurations as described under Webiny/Entity and Webiny/Mongo components.

Once you have your configuration in place, run the following command in your terminal:

php /path/to/src/Webiny/GeoIp/Provider/MaxMindGeoLite2/run-installer.php abs-path-to-your-config-yaml-file

This will download the GeoLite2 database and setup the Mongo collections for you. Note that the process might take up to 15-30 min, depending on your hardware.

Once the installation finishes, you can use the provider like so:

$config = 'abs-path-to-your-config-yaml-file';
$provider = new Webiny\GeoIp\Provider\MaxMindGeoLite2\MaxMindGeoLite2($config);

$geo = new \Webiny\GeoIp\GeoIp($provider);
$location = $geo->getGeoIpLocation('8.8.8.8');

Custom provider

If you wish to implement a custom provider, just create a class for your provider that implements Webiny\GeoIp\ProviderInterface;

Location class

The location class is the result of the geo ip lookup. Depending on the provider, the amount of information might vary. Overall, a typical lookup result looks like this:

Webiny/GeoIp/Location::__set_state(array(
   'continentCode' => 'NA',
   'continentName' => 'North America',
   'countryCode' => 'US',
   'countryName' => 'United States',
   'cityName' => 'Mountain View',
   'subdivision1Code' => 'CA',
   'subdivision1Name' => 'California',
   'subdivision2Code' => '',
   'subdivision2Name' => '',
   'timeZone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',
))

Note that if the location cannot be determined, false will be returned instead of the Location instance.
