Question

After researching for a while I couldn’t find out how to get the location of the browser (By IP). I am also fairly new to Node.js and Express. Is there a module or some code to help you get the location of the browser viewing the node.js app? I need the longitude and latitude or at least the zip code.

Thanks

I doubt that there is only one module. Have a look at https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules for common modules and you might try searching for geo at http://search.npmjs.org/ – and there’s also Nipster and Toolbox for searching for modules.

TL;DR: node-geoip seems to be what you are looking for.
