How It Works

This app uses SvelteKit to create a simple webpage that displays the user's IP address and their estimated location based on that IP. Here's an overview of how it works:

1. When a user visits the webpage, a request is made from the client to the server.

2. On the server, the server-side code retrieves the user's IP address from the client request headers.

3. The server then sends a request to the ipinfo.io API to get location information based on the user's IP address.

4. The location information (in this case country) is displayed on the webpage.
