IN DEVELOPMENT (until I write tests)
Attempts to get the remote IP address using various headers or the connection object. The IP is added to the request object under the remoteIP property, if no IP is found this will be null.
Install the package
npm install connect-remote-ip --saveThen simply include the module and add it into the application.
var remoteIp = require('connect-remote-ip');
app.use(remoteIp);
app.use(function(request, response, next) {
var str = (request.remoteIP || 'IP N/A') + ' - ' + request.method + ' ' + request.originalUrl;
console.log(str);
return next();
});Connect Remote IP is licensed under the MIT license.
