Im doint some nodejs fiddling with blogposts from wordpress and geotagging of theese posts. I have integrated geolite into nodejs and from wordpress i get the client id. Here is what my nodejs code looks like for now.
native.on('data',
function(data)
{
//console.log(data)
listener.sockets.emit('notification', data);
jsonstring = JSON.parse(data)
var ip = jsonstring.clientip
var geo = geoip.lookup(ip);
console.log(ip);
console.log(geo);
listener.sockets.emit('geodata', geo);
}
);
As you can see the lat / long is sent seperate from the json encoded data to the socket.
I want to merge the lat / long into "data" and sent is as 1 object. I cant figure out how to do this. i Hope someone can help me out with this.
An expando/ad-hoc property or two should suffice:
listener.sockets.emit('notification', data);
jsonstring = JSON.parse(data)
var ip = jsonstring.clientip
var geo = geoip.lookup(ip);
jsonstring.geo = geo;
// or
jsonstring.lat = geo.lat;
jsonstring.lng = geo.lng;
Add the geo information as another property of your parsed data object before emitting it:
native.on('data',
function(data)
{
var obj = JSON.parse(data)
obj.geo = geoip.lookup(obj.ip);
listener.sockets.emit('notification', JSON.stringify(obj));
}
);
