Description by Korbit AI

What change is being made?

Add an endpoint /check-ip to the server middleware for retrieving and returning the server's public IP address using an external service.

Why are these changes being made?

This change introduces a new route to enable clients to fetch the server's public IP, which might be necessary for debugging or configuration purposes. The addition of this feature uses the external service 'https://ifconfig.me/ip' via Axios to ensure reliability and ease of implementation.

Hey @L03TJ3 - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:

  • Consider extracting the external IP service URL into a configuration or environment variable instead of hardcoding it.
  • Add timeout handling to the axios request and validate the response format to ensure you return a valid IP.
  • Implement a simple caching mechanism for the IP lookup to reduce external calls and improve performance and reliability.

Error responses may leak internal error details to clients.

Avoid returning exception messages directly; instead, return a generic error message and log the details internally.

Missing Request Timeout category Performance

Tell me more
What is the issue?

The request to the external service lacks a timeout, which could cause the endpoint to hang indefinitely if the service is slow.

Why this matters

Without a timeout, server resources could be tied up waiting for the external service to respond, potentially affecting other requests.

Suggested change ∙ Feature Preview

Add a timeout to the axios request:

const { data } = await axios.get('https://ifconfig.me/ip', { timeout: 5000 })
Provide feedback to improve future suggestions
