Stripped down node-geoip-lite. Only supports country lookup and IPv4.

var geoip = require('geoip-lite');

var ip = "207.97.227.239";
var geo = geoip.lookup(ip);

console.log(geo);
{ range: [ 3479299040, 3479299071 ],
  country: 'US',
  region: '' }

$ npm install geoip-lite-country

Then download the city data files from https://github.com/bluesmoon/node-geoip/tree/master/data You need to get geoip-city.dat and geoip-city-names.dat and put them into the data/ directory of this package.

If you have an IP address in dotted quad notation, IPv6 colon notation, or a 32 bit unsigned integer (treated as an IPv4 address), pass it to the lookup method. Note that you should remove any [ and ] around an IPv6 address before passing it to this method.

var geo = geoip.lookup(ip);

If the IP address was found, the lookup method returns an object with the following structure:

{
   range: [ <low bound of IP block>, <high bound of IP block> ],
   country: 'XX',                 // 2 letter ISO-3166-1 country code
}

The actual values for the range array should be considered internal to geoip-lite. To get a human readable format, pass them to geoip.pretty()

If the IP address was not found, the lookup returns null

If you have a 32 bit unsigned integer, or a number returned as part of the range array from the lookup method, the pretty method can be used to turn it into a human readable string.

    console.log("The IP is %s", geoip.pretty(ip));

This method returns a string if the input was in a format that geoip-lite can recognise, else it returns the input itself.
