## Set up this plugin

### Requirements

This plugin is made to work with MedusaJS. You can find the documentation [here](https://medusajs.com). Here's what you'll need to get started with this plugin:

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/)
- [Medusa Store](https://docs.medusajs.com/quickstart/quick-start/)
- [MaxMind GeoLite2 Free Geolocation Data](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data)

### Install Project

1. Install the plugin:

```bash
npm install medusa-plugin-ip-lookup-maxmind-geoip2

# or

yarn add medusa-plugin-ip-lookup-maxmind-geoip2
```

2. Obtain a IP geolocation database file from MaxMind. You can download a GeoLite2 Free Geolocation Data [here](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data).

3. Add the plugin to your `medusa-config.js` file (inside the `plugins` array):

```ts
  {
    resolve: `medusa-plugin-ip-lookup-maxmind-geoip2`,
    /** @type {import('medusa-plugin-ip-lookup-maxmind-geoip2').PluginOptions} */
    options: {
      maxmind_db_path: "<PATH_TO_MAXMIND_DB_FILE>",
      route_enabled: true, // This route is under store so it's public
    },
  }
```

4. Check if the plugin is working by calling api call `GET /store/ip-lookup` with query param `ip` (e.g. `GET /store/ip-lookup)

You need to have a valid IP address in order to get a valid response. Localhost will not work.

### Example Response

```json
{
    "error": false,
    "message": "success",
    "region": {
        "id": "reg_01HEAZ934BD9JA8SE7033JHYHR",
