Description:
We need to implement a new feature in our application that involves obtaining the user’s IP address and geographical location using JavaScript. This feature is crucial for personalizing user experience and providing location-based services.
Details:
Objective: The main goal is to accurately fetch the user’s IP address and geographical location (latitude, longitude).
Approach: We can use public IP APIs like ‘ipify’ for getting the IP address and Geolocation APIs like ‘navigator.geolocation’ for getting the location.
Expected Outcome: The functionality should return the user’s IP address and geographical coordinates.
Error Handling: The functionality should handle scenarios where the user denies location access or if the location services are turned off.
Please note that we must respect user privacy and ensure we are in compliance with GDPR and other local regulations while implementing this feature.
