- Install Laravel 9
- Connecting App to Database
- Install “stevebauman/location”
- Add Routes

Install Laravel 9
First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 9 using the below command
|
1 |
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog |
Connecting App to Database
Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here DB_USERNAME=here database username here DB_PASSWORD=here database password here |
Install “stevebauman/location”
In this step, we will install stevebauman/location Package via the composer dependency manager. Use the following command to install stevebauman/location Package.
|
1 |
composer require stevebauman/location |
Then, Go to config directory and open app.php file. And register this package into laravel 9 app by adding the following code into your app.php file:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
'providers' => [ .... Stevebauman\Location\LocationServiceProvider::class, ], 'aliases' => [ .... 'Location' => 'Stevebauman\Location\Facades\Location', ] |
Now you need to run the following command on terminal to publish config/location.php file:
|
1 |
php artisan vendor:publish |
Add Routes
After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.
routes/web.php
|
1 2 3 |
use App\Http\Controllers\GeoLocationController; Route::get('get-address-from-ip', [GeoLocationController::class, 'index']); |
Create Controller By Command
Now, lets create a controller named GeoLocationController using command given below –
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller GeoLocationController |
Now, go to app\Http\Controllers and open GeoLocationController.php file. Then put the following code into your GeoLocationController.php file:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class GeoLocationController extends Controller { public function index(Request $request) { $ip = $request->ip(); $data = \Location::get($ip); dd($data); } } |
Start Development Server
Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –
|
1 |
php artisan serve |
Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –
|
1 |
http://localhost:8000/get-address-from-ip |
