What I learned

• I learned how to use IP Geolocation API by IPif to get the location of the user's IP address or given address.
• How to use Leaflet to create a map of the user's IP address or the given IP address.

Useful resources

• Leaflet Docs - A quick start guide to Leaflet.
• Leaflet Tutorial - This helped me understand how the map function works and how to use it to display the map.
• Ipify Docs - The IP Geolocation API docs were very helpful and easy to understand on how to get the IP address, location (latitude, longitude, region, and country), and ISP (Internet Service Provider). I used the API Type 2 to get all the information I need.
