javascript - Determine if Request is Local in Node.js app - Stack Overflow

I am learning Node.js. While creating a web site, I will run the web site locally (on localhost). When it is deployed, it will run on other servers. My question is, how do I determine if a request is from localhost or not in Node? In ASP.NET, I could use Request.IsLocal. I'm trying to figure out how to do that in Node.

Thank you!

There's server.address() to get the server address.

And request has connection and socket objects, as both might hold remote address (in a remoteAddress property) depending on a type of current connection.

But if the server is behind a reverse proxy, you'll have to pull it from appropriate header, most likely x-forwarded-for. However I'm not sure if that holds if proxies are chained.

So, to conclude, you'd do something along the lines of:

function cliAddress(req) {
  return req.connection.remoteAddress || req.socket.remoteAddress || req.headers['x-forwarded-for'];
}

server.isLocal = function(request) {
  return server.address() === cliAddress(req);
}

And if you use express.js see Express.js Req.IP API.
