I'm trying to get user's geolocation in development environment. I believe I'm fulfilling every requirements, though I still don't see any prompt asking for my position.
Here's what I'm using:
navigator.geolocationThe Geolocation API is accessed via a call to
navigator.geolocation; this will cause the user's browser to ask them for permission to access their location data.
Secure context: This feature [Geolocation API] is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.
PermissionState is always prompt, which mean a prompt is currently asking for the permission right ?
Am I missing something, or is there specific requirements when asking for localhost geolocation ?
Somehow I'd to call navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(callback) in order to have a prompt displayed.
If it can help anyone, here's my test code:
// inside a Stimulus controller
connect() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(this.showPosition)
} else {
// I believe it may also mean geolocation isn't supported
alert('Geolocation denied')
}
}
showPosition(position) {
alert(`${position.coords.longitude} - ${position.coords.latitude}`)
}
