In this tutorial, we will show you how to get the current user location in laravel using stevebauman\/location<\/a>, library. Sometimes we need to get the user location according to their IP address so first we will see how do we get it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

so lets start coding now, first we will install the latest laravel into our system. at the time i am writting this blog Laravel Version is 9.3.4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here I am using the stevebauman\/location<\/strong> laravel library package, Using this package you can get information of your user on your website it includes of their IP address, Country Name, Country Code, Postal code, Region, State Name, Country name, Longitude, Latitude etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Install Laravel on your system <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this step create a fresh laravel project so, copy the below command and create a new laravel project if doesn’t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel\/laravel location<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Install stevebauman\/location Package<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After that project setup, we will install stevebauman\/location Package using the below command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
composer require stevebauman\/location<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Add Service Provider And Ali<\/strong>as<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After package installation, we need to add service provider and alias in config\/app.php<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Important<\/strong>: If you're using Laravel 5.5 or above, you can skip the registration of the service provider, as it is registered automatically.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
  • Stevebauman\\Location\\LocationServiceProvider::class<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    'providers' => [\n\t\n\tStevebauman\\Location\\LocationServiceProvider::class,\n],\n\n'aliases' => [\n\t\n\t'Location' => 'Stevebauman\\Location\\Facades\\Location',\n],<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    You can also do this by this way it will publish the configuration file (this will create a location.php<\/code> file inside the config\/<\/code> directory):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Stevebauman\\Location\\LocationServiceProvider"<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Step 5: Add a route<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    Now, set the route file this way Add Routes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Route::get('\/', [App\\Http\\Controllers\\homeController::class, 'user'])->name('user');<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Step 4: Create Controller<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    we will display the view and fetch user location using this library in our controller<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    php artisan make:controller homeController<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    <?php\n\nnamespace App\\Http\\Controllers;\nuse Illuminate\\Http\\Request;\nuse Stevebauman\\Location\\Facades\\Location;\nclass UserController extends Controller\n{\n    public function userDetails()\n    {\n        $ip = '103.226.226.86'; \/\/For static IP address get\n        \/\/$ip = request()->ip(); \/\/Dynamic IP address get\n        $data = \\Location::get($ip);                \n        return view('welcome',compact('data'));\n    }\n}<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Step 6: Create a Blade file to show this<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    Now, by default there is blade file if not there then create welcome.blade.php file for get current user location details in this path resources\\views\\welcome.blade.php <\/strong>and add below html code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <html>\n<head>\n\t<title>How To Get Current User Location In Laravel - Appfinz Technologies<\/title>\n<\/head>\n<body style="text-align: center;">\n\t<h1> How To Get Current User Location In Laravel - Appfinz Technologies<\/h1>\n\t<div style="border:1px solid black; margin-left: 300px; margin-right: 300px;">\n\t<h3>IP: {{ $data->ip }}<\/h3>\n\t<h3>Country Name: {{ $data->countryName }}<\/h3>\n\t<h3>Country Code: {{ $data->countryCode }}<\/h3>\n\t<h3>Region Code: {{ $data->regionCode }}<\/h3>\n\t<h3>Region Name: {{ $data->regionName }}<\/h3>\n\t<h3>City Name: {{ $data->cityName }}<\/h3>\n\t<h3>Zipcode: {{ $data->zipCode }}<\/h3>\n\t<h3>Latitude: {{ $data->latitude }}<\/h3>\n\t<h3>Longitude: {{ $data->longitude }}<\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/body>\n<\/html><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
