Developer Documentation

To learn more about installation, usage, and code examples, please visit the developer documentation at https://ip2location-ruby.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html.

Dependencies

This library requires IP2Location BIN data file to function. You may download the BIN data file at

• IP2Location LITE BIN Data (Free): https://lite.ip2location.com
• IP2Location Commercial BIN Data (Comprehensive): https://www.ip2location.com

You can also sign up for IP2Location Web Service to lookup by IP2Location API.

IPv4 BIN vs IPv6 BIN

• Use the IPv4 BIN file if you just need to query IPv4 addresses.
• Use the IPv6 BIN file if you need to query BOTH IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

ip2location-ruby's Issues

File path

It's not obvious that the data should be placed in the rb folder, please mention this in the README.
without knowing it, you also run into an incomprehensible error

i2l = Ip2location.new.open("IP-COUNTRY-SAMPLE.BIN")
=> Ip2location.new.open() error in opening IP-COUNTRY-SAMPLE.BIN.

the full path should be displayed for clarity of the error
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /your/path/rb/IP-COUNTRY-SAMPLE.BIN

or just leave clean input path

self.file = File.open(File.expand_path url)

ip2location-ruby/lib/ip2location_ruby.rb

Line 29 in e6dfdb9

self.file = File.open(File.expand_path url, 'rb')

NoMethodError: undefined method `tell' for nil

Hello, after update rails(Rails 7.1.3.2) and ruby 3.3.0
when I write command Ip2location.new.open(Rails.root.join("db/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN")).get_all('8.8.8.8')
get_country_short and e.t.c
return next error
NoMethodError: undefined method tell' for nil from /home/niktexnik/.rbenv/versions/3.3.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/ip2location_ruby-8.0.3/lib/ip2location_ruby/i2l_string_data.rb:8:in read_and_return_value'

Ip2location.new.open('IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN') expand_path weirdness

On line 14 of lib/ip2location_ruby.rb 'rb' is inserted into the path of the given "url".

 def open(url)
    self.file = File.open(File.expand_path url, 'rb')
    i2l = Ip2locationConfig.read(file)

This forces the database to be in the rb subdirectory of the directory in which the database file exists if I use a relative pathname,

File.expand_path('IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN', 'rb')
=> "/home/tmp/foo/ip2location/rb/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN"

Is there some reason this is being done? Because it means I have to store the database file in a subdirectory called 'rb' even if I attempt to open "./IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN"

irb(main):028:0> Dir.chdir("/home/tmp/foo/ip2location") {
irb(main):029:1* File.expand_path './IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN', 'rb'
irb(main):030:1> }
=> "/home/tmp/foo/ip2location/rb/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN"

The dir_string 'rb' is only inserted into the path for certain relative file paths, if I use a full filespec to point to the file expand_path does not insert the 'rb' directory into the output,

irb(main):013:0> File.expand_path('/home/tmp/foo/ip2location/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN', 'rb')
=> "/home/tmp/foo/ip2location/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN"

This is on,
