Package Exports

ipjs

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ipjs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node ipjs

what is it?

It's a node lib to return your servers public facing IP adress from within nodejs.

how does it work?

It uses the public ip service provided by Iteam (which by the way is available as http endpoint too: ´curl ip.iteam.se´ ) - see http://ip.iteam.se for reference

The first time you require('ip') the call to the external web service will be issued and after that it will be cached.

Warning! There is a built-in race condition, if you want to make sure the call is finished and the IP is resolved, please use the promise provided.
