How to get client IP address in Vapor 3.0?

Question

Although there used to be some methods to get client IP address (e.g. req.peerHostname ), I cannot figure out how to get it in Vapor 3.0.

Could anyone please let me know how to get client IP address in Vapor 3.0?

Answer 1

Thanks to the Vapor community, I have got an answer.

You can use req.http.remotePeer.hostname for Vapor 3.0 project.

Answer 2

Hi hope this helps for Vapor 4 use this

func getIp(req: Request) throws -> EventLoopFuture<String> {
        print(req.headers.forwarded.first!.for)
        return req.eventLoop.makeSucceededFuture("\(req.headers.forwarded.first!.for ?? "Not found")")
 }

works fine for me not the best solution I guess but it works :)
