geolocate an ip address in javascript

To geolocate an IP address in Javascript, you can use an API that provides geolocation data based on the IP address. One such API is the ipapi API. Here's how to use it with the fetch method:

index.tsx
const ipAddress = '192.168.0.1';
const url = `https://ipapi.co/${ipAddress}/json/`;

fetch(url)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
     const {latitude, longitude, city, region, country_name} = data;
     console.log(`Location of ${ipAddress} is ${latitude}, ${longitude} in ${city}, ${region}, ${country_name}`);
  })
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

In this example, we first define the IP address that we want to geolocate. Then, we construct the API URL with the IP address and the required /json/ endpoint. We use the fetch method to call the API endpoint and get the geolocation data in JSON format. Finally, we extract the latitude, longitude, city, region, and country name from the API response and log them to the console.
