Hi,

I am new to Wix Code, having started using it just earlier today.

I am now using the code below to populate a collection from a field (write-only). I wonder how I could modify it to collect the User’s IP address?

Most grateful,

Tony

import wixData from ‘wix-data’;

export function button1_click(event) {
const inID= $w(‘#Input’).value;
let toInsert = {

“title”: inID,

};

wixData.insert(‘my-collection’, toInsert)
.then( (results) => {
let item = results; //see item below
} )
.catch( (err) => {
let errorMsg = err;
} );

}

anyone?

My first attempt at writing a code but it is not working yet:

import wixData from ‘wix-data’;

//export function myRouter_Router(request) {

export function button1_click(event) {

const ip = request.ip;

let toInsert = {

“ip”: ip,

};

wixData.insert(‘my-collection’, toInsert)
.then( (results) => {
let item = results; //see item below
} )
.catch( (err) => {
let errorMsg = err;
} );
}

Hi Tony,

You can fetch the ip address using external API’s such as https://www.ipify.org/ and https://whatismyipaddress.com/api

Please note that the ip address may change and you should not count on it to be constant.

Cheers,
