Non static method 'get' should not be called statically

[obink]

• Laravel 7
• PHP 7.3.12
• finished setting up the config and also I put an aliases 'Location' => 'Stevebauman\Location\Facades\Location',
• published vendor

in my controller

use Stevebauman\Location\Location;

 public function show($product)
    {
        $product = Product::find($product);
        views($product)->record();

        $images = $product->images;

        $whoIsIp = request()->ip();

        $position = Location::get($whoIsIp);
        dd($position);

        $dbLatestView = DB::table('views')->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->where('viewable_id', $product->id)->limit(1);
        $dbLatestView->update(['ip_address'=>$whoIsIp] );

        return view('product', compact('product', 'images'));
}

and I'm getting this kind of error

ErrorException

don't import it with
use Stevebauman\Location\Location;

comment out this line and run your code again, its sort of declared globally

Hi there!

You must use the facade:

use Stevebauman\Location\Facades\Location;

Not:

use Stevebauman\Location\Location;

Hope this helps!

the mistake I made was, I used a static local IP. And it works now with facades, sorry for the late reply. thanks.
