Geolocation-promise

Too many we find ourselves unable to use javascript's geolocation API as promise. This package fixes that, geolocation's getCurrentPosition is implemented using promise and user can use function : getCurrentPositionPromise which returns a promise.

Installation

npm i geolocation-promise

requires browser environment as it uses navigator

Usage

getCurrentPositionPromise

const { getCurrentPositionPromise } = require('geolocation-promise');

getCurrentPositionPromise()
    .then((position) => {
	    console.log(position); 
    })
    .catch(e => console.log(e));

OR use async/await

const { getCurrentPositionPromise } = require('geolocation-promise');
//inside async function
try{
    const position = await getCurrentPositionPromise();
    console.log(position);
}catch(e){
	console.log(e);
}

Incase of error promise gets rejected with an object like this:

{ error: ERROR_INFORMATION_STRING }

Parameters

While using getCurrentPositionPromise() user can pass option object in the function.

const  options = {
    enableHighAccuracy: false,//default
    timeout: 5000,//default (milliseconds)
    maximumAge: 10000 //default (milliseconds)
}
