How to pass "buyerIp" property?

[felpsio]

I'm using the hello world template for my store and when I run in dev mode it keeps showing the following warning:

StorefrontClient: it is recommended to pass in the 'buyerIp' property, which improves analytics and data in the admin.

What is the recommended way to solve this?

Hi! You can pass the buyerIp when creating the storefront client in your server.js/server.ts file:

      const {storefront} = createStorefrontClient({
        cache,
        waitUntil,
        // ...
        storefrontHeaders: {buyerIp: '...'},
      });

You would normally get that IP from the Request object. If you are deploying to Oxygen, you can get this by using the getStorefrontHeaders function:

import {
  createRequestHandler,
  getStorefrontHeaders,
} from '@shopify/remix-oxygen';

// ...

      const {storefront} = createStorefrontClient({
        cache,
        waitUntil,
        // ...
        storefrontHeaders: getStorefrontHeaders(request),
      });

We'll update our docs to reflect this better 👍

If you already have that code and still seeing this in dev, please ignore it for now.

Thanks.

Yep, I already have this code and I still see the warning in dev. Nice to know that I can ignore it for now :).
