I'm new to mac.

I'm mobile application engineer and developing a mobile app with rails API.

My mobile app can't fetch data from the Rails API.

I was told to use ifconfig, and put en0's IP to rails's address.

I did ifconfig en0 it shows 

ether 5x:5x:ca:f6:0x:ax

What is rails's address? I was told to rewrite rails's address by using ifconfig.

My question is How to use iconfig with Rails API?

ifconfig should have an output of multiple lines for multiple interfaces. Your local ip should be referred just below the ether mention. ( ether is your mac address not your IP).

Too find your IP search for something like this ( for home or generally small networks )

inet 192.168.x.x

  • ah, sorry did not get the question right. So what do you need? Get your local IP through ruby? – dstrants Mar 09 '18 at 06:30
  • I can't fetch deta from rails API with react-native app. I was told to change settings of Rails by using iconfig. – sonicmario Mar 09 '18 at 06:32
  • You can get the address of `en0` (machines IP) using the commands referred [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5029427/ruby-get-local-ip-nix), without using ifconfig. But I still don't know if I get the question right – dstrants Mar 09 '18 at 06:34
  • thanks a lot. I'll try your solution. My question is How to set my mobile application's address in my rails dev API? I' m new to rails so, I don't know how to set my mobile app's address to Rails API. – sonicmario Mar 09 '18 at 06:37
