IP address is network address. So you need to connect to the network. You can see the local IP address in the net module, Socket class.

I tried as u asked, but I get undefined as output.
you need to put checking code after Connected to Wi-fi...
else it's called immediatelly - not after wifi is really connected.
Still doesn't work, why is there no such function? This is such an essential functionality and should be part of the connection info:
const WiFi = require('wifi').WiFi,
net = require('net'),
wifi = new WiFi();
console.log("Connecting to WiFi....");
wifi.connect((err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
wifi.getConnection((err, connInfo) => {
console.log("Connected to Wifi: "+connInfo.ssid);
const sock = new net.Socket();
console.log('Address:', sock.localAddress);
});
}
});
Connecting to WiFi....
Connected to Wifi: MyWifi
Address: null
With some issue digging I found this: https://github.com/kaluma-project/kaluma/issues/554
That lead me to this code:
console.log("Connecting to WiFi....");
wifi.connect((err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
wifi.getConnection((err, connInfo) => {
console.log("Connected to Wifi: "+connInfo.ssid);
console.log('Creating HTTP server simply to get my IP...');
const server = http.createServer();
server.listen(80, () => {
console.log(`Yay, my IP is ${server._dev.ip}`);
console.log('Shutting down server...');
server.close();
console.log('On with my code....');
});
});
}
});
Is this really the only way? Spinning up an HTTP server simply to get the local IP address? Even in LUA for ESP8266 something like this has been available forever: https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/release/modules/wifi/#wifistagetip
Hello,
How to get IP address after wifi is connected?
I was looking through docs but could not found it.
Thank you
