Usage

Facade

You can use \SaeedVaziry\IP2Location\Facades\IP2Location facade to access to all supported methods.

// returns an array
\SaeedVaziry\IP2Location\Facades\IP2Location::info($ipAddress);

// returns the country full name
\SaeedVaziry\IP2Location\Facades\IP2Location::countryName($ipAddress);

// returns the country 2 character ISO code
\SaeedVaziry\IP2Location\Facades\IP2Location::countryCode($ipAddress);

Helper functions

You may want to access to the methods via helper functions.

// returns an array
ip2location_info($ipAddress);

// returns the country full name
ip2location_country_name($ipAddress);

// returns the country 2 character ISO code
ip2location_country_code($ipAddress);

If you don't pass the $ipAddress in both Facade and Helper, The method will extract the IP address from the Http request.
