Get my current location

[supun151515]

Is there a way to get my current location? If yes, kindly explain it. Put it in your documentation as well.

Thank you, Supun Silva

Hi,

Yes there is, but it is not supported by the plug-in out of the box. You just need to do something like:

// Initialize component
$('#somecomponent').locationpicker();
// Get current location from the browser
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
  // You can set it the plugin
  $('#somecomponent').locationpicker('location', {
    latitude: position.coords.latitude,
    longitude: position.coords.longitude,
  });
});

But you should keep in mind that:

• It is possible that browser dowsn't support geolocation. So it makes sence to check it before:

if ("geolocation" in navigator) {
  /* geolocation is available */
} else {
  /* geolocation IS NOT available */
}

• Using geolocation from javascript requires user to allow access to this module.

Let me know if this works for you.

Cheers, Dmitry
