ipAddress.js

const http = require("http");

const trackVisitsMiddleware = async (req, res, next) => {
  // Obtain the public IP address from api.ipify.org
  const api = {
    host: "api.ipify.org",
    port: 80,
    path: "/",
  };

  try {
    const responseData = await fetchData(api);
    const ipAddress = responseData.trim();
    console.log(`Here is your IP Address: ${ipAddress}`)
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error fetching data:", error);
  }

  next();
};

const fetchData = async (api) => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const req = http.get(api, (response) => {
      let data = "";

      response.on("data", (chunk) => {
        data += chunk;
      });

      response.on("end", () => {
        resolve(data);
      });
    });

    req.on("error", (error) => {
      reject(error);
    });

    req.end();
  });
};
