I am trying to find the city of the user, now I can see the address method working fine in my controller
def your_location
Geocoder.address(request.remote_ip)
end
But I can't figure out how to find the user city.
From Geocoder GitHub:
Geocoder adds
location
andsafe_location
methods to the standard Rack::Request object so you can easily look up the location of any HTTP request by IP address. For example, in a Rails controller or a Sinatra app:
# returns Geocoder::Result object
result = request.location
location
hash example:
{
"data"=>{
"ip"=>"213.174.0.254",
"city"=>"Lviv",
"latitude"=>49.8383,
"zip_code"=>"79000",
"longitude"=>24.0232,
"time_zone"=>"Europe/Kiev",
"metro_code"=>0,
"region_code"=>"46",
"region_name"=>"L'vivs'ka Oblast'",
"country_code"=>"UA",
"country_name"=>"Ukraine"
},
"cache_hit"=>nil
}
