REACT-ipgeolocation 🌍

A react hook to get the country of a visitor from their IP address

Installation

Using npm:

npm install --save react-ipgeolocation

Using yarn:

yarn add react-ipgeolocation

Usage

import useGeoLocation from "react-ipgeolocation";
 
//somewhere in your app/component
const location = useGeoLocation();
console.log(location.country);

Implementation and privacy

This hook is a thin wrapper around the wonderful Country.is, a browser-friendly and privacy-conscious geolocation API that gets your users' country (and nothing else) from their IP.

Their hosted service does not log requests.
