How to concat a list of integers to a string in Erlang?

I have this tuple that looks like this:

{127,0,0,1}

Now I want to pass that tuple as the string "127.0.0.1" to an external lib (a geo IP lib). What's the best way to convert this tuple to the string?

You can always use inet_parse:ntoa/1:

1> inet_parse:ntoa({127,0,0,1}).
"127.0.0.1"
2> inet_parse:ntoa({0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1}).
"::1"

You can use this:

ip_to_string({I1, I2, I3, I4}) ->
    lists:concat([I1,".",I2,".",I3,".",I4]);
ip_to_string({v6, Addr}) ->
    inet_parse:ntoa(Addr).
