### Add the Trait

[](#add-the-trait)

Add the `CapturesIp` trait to your User model (or any Eloquent model):

```
use Jeremykenedy\LaravelIpCapture\Traits\CapturesIp;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use CapturesIp;
}
```

### Available Methods

[](#available-methods)

MethodDescription`captureIp()`Returns the current client IP as a string`setSignupIp()`Sets the signup IP address column`setSignupConfirmationIp()`Sets the signup confirmation IP column`setSocialSignupIp()`Sets the social media signup IP column`setAdminIp()`Sets the admin action IP column`setUpdatedIp()`Sets the updated IP column`setDeletedIp()`Sets the deleted IP column`setIpColumn(string $column)`Sets a specific IP column by name`getIpColumns()`Returns all populated IP columns as an arrayAll setter methods return `static` for fluent chaining:

```
$user->setSignupIp()->setAdminIp()->save();
```

### Custom Columns

[](#custom-columns)

Add a custom column to the config:

```
'columns' => [
    'signup_ip_address'  => true,
    'custom_ip_address'  => true,  // your custom column
],
```

Then use `setIpColumn()` to capture:

```
$user->setIpColumn('custom_ip_address');
```

### IP Hashing

[](#ip-hashing)

Enable hashing for privacy compliance:

```
IP_CAPTURE_HASH=true
IP_CAPTURE_HASH_ALGO=sha256
```

When enabled, all captured IPs are hashed before storage. This is a one-way operation.
