IP address tracker solution

This is a solution for the Front-end Engineer Job application at Arkantum Labs.

Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for each page depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• See their own IP address on the map on the initial page load
• Search for any IP addresses or domains and see the key information and location

Showcase

Use this section to recap over some of your best and proudest solutions while working through this project.

To see how you can add code snippets, see below:

export const getLocationDataFromIp = async (ipOrDomain, { type = IP } = {}) => {
  try {
    let sanatizedIpOrDomain = ipOrDomain;

    if (type === IP && ipOrDomain) {
      sanatizedIpOrDomain = getIpWithDots(ipOrDomain);
    }

    if (type === DOMAIN && ipOrDomain) {
      sanatizedIpOrDomain = getSanatizedDomain(ipOrDomain);
    }

    let params = {
      apiKey: config.ipifyKey,
      ipAddress: sanatizedIpOrDomain,
    };

    if (type === IP && !ipOrDomain) {
      delete params.ipAddress;
    }

    if (type !== IP) {
      params = {
        apiKey: config.ipifyKey,
        domain: sanatizedIpOrDomain,
      };
    }

    const response = await axiosIpify.get('', { params });

    return { locationObject: response.data };
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching location data:', error);

    return { isError: true };
  }
};

I'm proud of the above function. The function is fetching the data as an ip or domain, automatically, according to some parameters.

Potential improvements

I could've improved the way in which I structured the CSS, specially giving a detailed consideration to the globals CSS. As I were building the project, I've put some globals in there, but then I override some colors in the components modules.
