defmodule Geolix do @moduledoc """ IP location lookup provider. ## Usage Fetching information for a single IP is done by passing it as a binary or tuple to `Geolix.lookup/1`: iex> Geolix.lookup("127.0.0.1") %{ city: %{...}, country: %{...} } The result will be a map with the `:id` of each configured database as the key and the lookup result as the value. If you are only interested in the result of a specific database you can use `Geolix.lookup/2`: iex> Geolix.lookup({127, 0, 0, 1}, where: :my_database) %{...} The result structure of each database is specific to the adapter used. ### Lookup Options There are some options you can pass to `Geolix.lookup/2` to modify the lookup behaviour: - `:where` - Lookup information in a single registered database The adapter used can require and/or understand additional options. To accommodate this the options are passed unmodified to the adapter's own lookup function. ## Database Configuration To get started you need to define one or more `:databases` to use for lookups. Each database definition is a map with at least two fields: - `:id` - an identifier for this database, usable to limit lookups to a single database if you have defined more than one - `:adapter` - the adapter module used to handle lookup requests. See the part "Adapters" in for additional information Depending on the adapter you may need to provide additional values. ### Configuration (static) One option for configuration is using a static configuration, i.e. for two databases handled by the adapter `MyAdapter`: config :geolix, databases: [ %{ id: :city, adapter: MyAdapter, source: "/absolute/path/to/city.db" }, %{ id: :country, adapter: MyAdapter, source: "/absolute/path/to/country.db" } ] ### Configuration (dynamic) If there are any reasons you cannot use a pre-defined configuration you can also configure an initializer module to be called before starting the top-level supervisor or alternatively for each individual database. This may be the most suitable configuration if you have the database located in the `:priv_dir` of your application: # {mod, fun} config :geolix, init: {MyInitModule, :my_init_mf_toplevel} config :geolix, databases: [ %{ id: :dynamic_country, adapter: MyAdapter, init: {MyInitModule, :my_init_mf_database} } ] # {mod, fun, args} config :geolix, init: {MyInitModule, :my_init_mfargs_toplevel, [:foo, :bar]} config :geolix, databases: [ %{ id: :dynamic_country, adapter: MyAdapter, init: {MyInitModule, :my_init_mfargs_database, [:foo, :bar]} } ] # initializer module defmodule MyInitModule do @spec my_init_mf_toplevel() :: :ok def my_init_mf_toplevel(), do: my_init_mfargs_toplevel(:foo, :bar) @spec my_init_mfargs_toplevel(atom, atom) :: :ok def my_init_mfargs_toplevel(:foo, :bar) do priv_dir = Application.app_dir(:my_app, "priv") databases = [ %{ id: :dynamic_city, adapter: MyAdapter, source: Path.join([priv_dir, "city.db"]) } | Application.get_env(:geolix, :databases, []) ] Application.put_env(:geolix, :databases, databases) end @spec my_init_mf_database(map) :: map def my_init_mf_database(database) do my_init_mfargs_database(database, :foo, :bar) end @spec my_init_mfargs_database(map, atom, atom) :: map def my_init_mfargs_database(%{id: :dynamic_country} = database, :foo, :bar) do priv_dir = Application.app_dir(:my_app, "priv") %{database | source: Path.join([priv_dir, "country.db"])} end end Above example illustrates both types of dynamic initialization. The top-level initializer is called as defined (`{mod, fun}` or `{mod, fun, args}`) and expected to always return `:ok`. At the database level the current database configuration is passed as the first parameter with additional parameters following. It is expected that this function returns the new, complete configuration. If you choose to use the dynamic database initialization the only requirement for your config file is a plain `%{init: {MyInitModule, :my_init_fun}}` entry. Every additional field in the example is only used for illustration and only required for the complete return value. ### Configuration (runtime) If you do not want to use a pre-defined or dynamically initialized configuration you can also define and start adapters at runtime: iex(1)> Geolix.load_database(%{ ...(1)> id: :runtime_city, ...(1)> adapter: MyAdapter, ...(1)> source: "/absolute/path/to/city.db" ...(1)> }) :ok Please be aware that these databases will not be reloaded if, for any reason, the supervisor/application is restarted. Running `load_database/1` on an already configured database (matched by `:id`) will reload/replace it without persisting the configuration. On success a result of `:ok` will be returned otherwise a tuple in the style of `{:error, message}`. The individual errors are defined by the adapter. ## Adapters All the work done by Geolix is handled using adapters. These adapters can use a database, a webservice or any other means available to handle your lookup requests. Known adapters: - `Geolix.Adapter.Fake` - [`Geolix.Adapter.LookupCache`](https://github.com/elixir-geolix/adapter_lookup_cache) - [`Geolix.Adapter.MMDB2`](https://github.com/elixir-geolix/adapter_mmdb2) For detailed information how to configure the adapter of your choice please read the adapter's configuration. ### Custom Adapters Adapters are expected to adhere to the `Geolix.Adapter` behaviour. As a starting point for writing a custom adapter you can look at the packaged `Geolix.Adapter.Fake`. ## Database Loading Currently databases are loaded asynchronously upon startup. This behaviour can be changed via configuration: config :geolix, startup_sync: true Configuring a synchronous startup can prevent potential "no data found" lookup results. If your adapter configuration requires more time than expected (think of downloading a database from a remote location via HTTP) this might result in application startup delays and/or failures. ### Loading Errors If the configuration is erroneous a message will be sent to `Logger` with the level `:error`. Any other error during the load process is expected to be defined and logged by the adapter itself. ### State Retrieval All databases are loaded, unless you called `Geolix.load_database/1`, asynchronously. This includes configured databases loaded upon application start. The database loader allows you to access the current state of loading: iex(1)> Geolix.Database.Loader.loaded_databases() [:city] iex(2)> Geolix.Database.Loader.registered_databases() [:city, :country] Above example demonstrates a state where the database `:country` is known but not completely loaded yet. Please be aware that both lists are unsorted. ### Reloading To trigger a forceful reload of all databases configured in the application environment you can use `Geolix.reload_databases/0` to do so. This uses an internal `GenServer.cast/2` so a slight delay will occur. ### Unloading Calling `Geolix.unload_database/1` with a database id will unload this database. As this is done in a lazy fashion it will still be kept in memory while not being reloaded or used for lookups. If the database is configured via application environment it will still be reloaded as usual in case of a supervisor or application restart.
