README

vast-maxmind is a node wrapper for the maxmind GeoIP location service. It leverages the Maxmind C API which you should download and install from here before starting to use this module.

http://www.maxmind.com/app/c

This first iteration is limited functionality

Supports the City data: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity
Only supports lookup by IP address. Named hosts and more features will likely come later (time permitting)

Please check out the tests folder for the demo.

var VastMaxmind = require('../build/Release/vastmaxmind').VastMaxmind,
  vmm = new VastMaxmind('/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat'),
    addr = "8.8.8.8";

var foo = vmm.location(addr, function(data) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(data) );
    process.exit();
});
