Geolocation package for Laravel 5.x

This package provides geolocation information including country, city, latitude and longitude based on request IP. There are a few available providers: Extreme IP Lookup, Free GeoIP, Geobytes and Geoplugin.

Instalation

Install the package using composer:

composer require itech-ro/geolocation

Edit app/config.php and add this line to providers array:

    'providers' => [
        ...
        Roitech\Geolocation\GeolocationServiceProvider::class,
        ...
    ];

Create a configuration file config/geolocation.php with the content:

<?php

return [

    'provider' => 'geoplugin',

];

How to use it

Once you set the preferred provider in config/geolocation.php (possible values: geobytes, freegeoip, extremeiplookup, geoplugin) the geolocation details can be accessed using the Geolocation facade:

$coordinates = Geolocation::getCoordinates(); //returns an array [ 'lat' => LATITUDE, 'long' => LONGITUDE ]
$city = Geolocation::getCity();
$country = Geolocation::getCountry();
