MaxMind GeoIP2

This extension provides client location info based on users’ IP address, and is absolutely recommended.

Due to MaxMind’s licensing this cannot be bundled directly with the engine. Instead you need to go to [https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data] and download the GeoLite2-City database yourself.

(A feature where you can just specify an API key, so this database gets updated automatically is under development).

The default location is maxmind/GeoLite2-City.mmdb in your ressource directory.

Installation

TypeScript

pnpm add @tailjs/maxmind
# or
npm install @tailjs/maxmind
# or
yarn add @tailjs/maxmind

import { ClientLocation } from "@tailjs/maxmind";

tailjs({
  // ...
  extensions: [
    // ...
    new ClientLocation({ language: "en", mmdb: 'maxmind/GeoLite2-City.mmdb' }),
    // ...
  ]
});

.NET

The MaxMind package comes bundles with the NuGet package so no additional installation is needed.
