IP Address Tracker - A Frontend Mentor Challenge

This is a solution to the IP address tracker challenge on Frontend Mentor.

Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for each page depending on their device's screen size.
• 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 HTML
• Vanilla JavaScript
• Tailwind CSS - Styling
• Leaflet.js - Interactive map
• Google Fonts API - Custom font
• IP Geolocation API - IP address tracking

I learned:

• How to implement interactive maps using Leaflet.js.
• How to use IP Geolocation API to track the geographical location of an IP address.

Development setup

1. First, you need to clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/ShayanTheNerd/IP-address-tracker.git

Alternatively, you can copy the source of the project directly to your local environment using Degit:

pnpm i -g degit

degit https://github.com/ShayanTheNerd/IP-address-tracker new-project-folder

2. Then, install required packages:

pnpm i

3. Finally, run the dev script to start the dev server:

pnpm run dev

Now, you can preview the project on a local server of your choice. My personal recommendation is the Live Server Extension.

Deployment and production

Before deploying the project or creating a new pull request, run the following commands and make sure there are no errors:

pnpm run format

pnpm run build
