Front End Devs: Find IP Address/ Longitude and Latitude

IP Address / Location API Element

How the IP address was fed into the API of the GeoIP to detect the Longitude and Latitude Coordinates

Initial Thoughts
fetch can be used to get information from the perspective API and provide that for the component in question. Use of fetch function which is already within the update() function. Below shows the instance that gets the information from the API that would be stored.

Deep Dive
fetch is drawing from the API and allowing the data to use in JSON data.

.then(data => {
this.ip = data.ip;
this.country = `${data.country}`;
this.city = `${data.city}`;
this.location = `${data.city}, ${data.country}`;
return data;
});

It shows how the data that was retrieved will be written. For example, here it shows it broken down by the IP, city, state, country, location. It is important to note how it is presented and formatted. It took a while to figure out the best way to call and then print the data that was recieved.

Deeper Dive for Longitude and Latitude with the API

FreeGeoIP API

Link: https://freegeoip.app/json/

This line of code above comes from the constructor as it is linking the GeoIP API to allow for access to work in harmony with one another. The FreeGeoIP API is used to get the longitude and latitude at a given location. Through this communication should result in a render.
