DEPRECATED Use gpslab/geoip instead. It supports modern Symfony and PHP versions and has a better code quality.

Insomnia MaxGeoIp Bundle

Installation

This bundle helps you deliver MaxMind GeoIp functionality inside your symfony application. Based on MaxMind library. Installation is same as for other bundles:

composer require mente/max-mind-geo-ip-bundle *

Don't forget to add bundle in your application kernel:

<?php
    // app/AppKernel.php

    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new \Insomnia\MaxMindGeoIpBundle\InsomniaMaxMindGeoIpBundle(),
        );
    }

Configuration is pretty straight forward:

insomnia_max_mind_geo_ip:
    #Path to geolite2 database. Default is %kernel.root_dir%/GeoIpCountry.mmdb
    path: %kernel.root_dir%/geolite2.mmdb

After you've finished setting up code, it's time to update the most recent MaxMind database:

#If you want to use country-precision
php app/console insomnia:geoip:update http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb.gz
#OR
#If you want to use city-precision
#Keep in mind that city-precision database is bigger and it takes a bit longer time to find it by ip.
php app/console http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz

Command will save and unpack database to destination specified in configuration. So you don't need to worry about correct placement.

Hint: if you want to automate database update, you can integrate it in your composer install/update phase using provided script handler. Add following to yours composer.json:

"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
        "Insomnia\\MaxMindGeoIpBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::downloadMaxMindDB"
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "Insomnia\\MaxMindGeoIpBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::downloadMaxMindDB"
    ]
},
"extra": {
    "maxmind-db-path": "app/geolite2.mmdb"
}

Extra part maxmind-db-path is required and should be same as insomnia_max_mind_geo_ip.path in symfony configuration. That's it! You're ready to start

Usage
