How to get request's remote client IP in Node.js?

[movahhedi]

What is the feature you are proposing?

How can i get the IP of the remote client?

I've seen https://hono.dev/docs/helpers/conninfo but there isn't anything for Node.js.

In Koa, its ctx.request.ip. code

May be useful:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/request-ip

hi @movahhedi
It depends on which deployment service you use.

Hello @EdamAme-x

Node.js, PM2, nginx/Apache.

Hi @movahhedi,
You can pass the IP address as a header using nginx and a reverse proxy see here where this issue was discussed more

[movahhedi]

Isn't this feature good enough to be included in Hono [for Node]?
Since it's there in Koa, It should be technically possible.

I don't think Node.js by itself is often used to build servers, what do you think? I think most would use a reverse proxy or a deployment service.

implement in Koa

If you implement it, you can add it to the getConninfo helper.
