Step 3: Create Route

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

*/
  
Route::get('display-user', [UserController::class, 'index']);

Step 4: Create Controller

we need to create UserController and add following code on that file:app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Stevebauman\Location\Facades\Location;
  
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        /* $ip = $request->ip(); Dynamic IP address */
        $ip = '162.159.24.227'; /* Static IP address */
        $currentUserInfo = Location::get($ip);
          
        return view('user', compact('currentUserInfo'));
    }
}
