Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• See their own IP address on the map on the initial page load
• Search for any IP addresses or domains and see the key information and location

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Vanilla JavaScript
• Leaflet Library

What I learned

Learned how to hide API keys and deploy site on vercel. Additionally, learned how to integrate Leaflet library.

Continued development

The current design is not suitable for mobile screens. I plan to remake this site with a more accessible design in future.

Useful resources

• Hiding API Keys in Javascript Netlify - This helped with hiding the API key from github. I modified it to make it work for vercel. Note: API key can still be seen using developer tools.
• ipgeolocation API - I'm using this API to fetch the data as this provides better free options than ipify.
