Get local IP address in Node.js

This information can be found in os.networkInterfaces(), — an object, that maps network interface names to its properties (so that one interface can, for example, have several addresses):

'use strict';

const { networkInterfaces } = require('os');

const nets = networkInterfaces();
const results = Object.create(null); // Or just '{}', an empty object

for (const name of Object.keys(nets)) {
    for (const net of nets[name]) {
        // Skip over non-IPv4 and internal (i.e. 127.0.0.1) addresses
        // 'IPv4' is in Node <= 17, from 18 it's a number 4 or 6
        const familyV4Value = typeof net.family === 'string' ? 'IPv4' : 4
        if (net.family === familyV4Value && !net.internal) {
            if (!results[name]) {
                results[name] = [];
            }
            results[name].push(net.address);
        }
    }
}

// 'results'
{
  "en0": [
    "192.168.1.101"
  ],
  "eth0": [
    "10.0.0.101"
  ],
  "<network name>": [
    "<ip>",
    "<ip alias>",
    "<ip alias>",
    ...
  ]
}

// results["en0"][0]
"192.168.1.101"

Running programs to parse the results seems a bit iffy. Here's what I use.

require('dns').lookup(require('os').hostname(), function (err, add, fam) {
  console.log('addr: ' + add);
})

This should return your first network interface local IP address.
