Step 1: Install Laravel 9

In this step, we will install laravel 9 to get the user location using the following command. if you already create please skip this.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel_9_get_user_location

Step 2: Install stevebauman/location Package

In this step, we will install the stevebauman/location package using the following command.

composer require stevebauman/location

Publish the configuration file (this will create a location.php file inside the config directory):

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Stevebauman\Location\LocationServiceProvider"

Step 3: Add Service Provider And Aliase

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',
],

Step 4: Create Controller

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'));
}
}

Step 5: Add Route

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']);

Step 6: Create Blade File

In this step, we will create a details.blade.php file to get current user location details.

resources\views\details.blade.php
