I’m in Laravel v10 and I wanted to show the ip address of client with geo location in details.
So I installed the package torann/geoip:
composer require torann/geoip
Then:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TorannGeoIPGeoIPServiceProvider" --tag=config
And after that created a middleware named GeoIPMiddleware which goes here:
<?php
namespace AppHttpMiddleware;
use Closure;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use TorannGeoIPGeoIP;
class GeoIPMiddleware
{
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
$config = config('geoip');
$geoip = new GeoIP($config, $request);
$request->attributes->add([
'geoip' => $geoip->getLocation(), // Add location data to the request attributes
]);
return $next($request);
}
}
And also registered it at kernel.php:
protected $middleware = [
// AppHttpMiddlewareTrustHosts::class,
AppHttpMiddlewareTrustProxies::class,
AppHttpMiddlewareGeoIPMiddleware::class,
...
];
And here is the route:
Route::get('/ip/{ip}', [IPDetailsController::class, 'showIPDetails']);
But when I test it like this, I get an error:
http://localhost:8000/ip/32.2.185.118
Error:
TorannGeoIPGeoIP::__construct(): Argument #2 ($cache) must be of type IlluminateCacheCacheManager, IlluminateHttpRequest given, called in D:rootappHttpMiddlewareGeoIPMiddleware.php on line 15
According to the line of the middleware:
$geoip = new GeoIP($config, $request);
So what’s going wrong here? How can I solve this issue?
Note that I have also registered at ipapi website and created a key for myself and placed that in .env file like this: IPAPI_KEY=MY_KEY
And this is also my config/geoip.php:
