expressjsHow can I get the IP address of a GET request using Express.js?

To get the IP address of a GET request using Express.js, you can use the req.ip property. This property will return the IP address of the request.

For example:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  console.log(req.ip);
  res.send('Hello World!');
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server started'));

Output example

Server started

The code above will print the IP address of the request to the console.

Code explanation

1. require('express') - This imports the Express.js library into the application.
2. app.get('/', (req, res) => {...}) - This defines a route handler for GET requests to the root path.
3. console.log(req.ip) - This prints the IP address of the request to the console.
4. res.send('Hello World!') - This sends a response to the client.
