AngularJS-Geolocation

An angular.js wrapper around window.navigator.geolocation

Bower

This module is available as bower package, install it with this command:

bower install angularjs-geolocation

or

bower install git://github.com/arunisrael/angularjs-geolocation.git

Usage

• Add the geolocation module as dependency
• Inject the geolocation service (yes, it has the same name)
• Invoke the getLocation method on the geolocation service to retrieve a promise
• The promise will be resolved with the position returned by window.navigator.getCurrentPosition if the user allows the browser to access their location
• The promise will be rejected if the user rejects location access or the browser does not support it

Example

angular.module('barterApp',['geolocation'])
  .controller('geoCtrl', function ($scope,geolocation) {
    geolocation.getLocation().then(function(data){
      $scope.coords = {lat:data.coords.latitude, long:data.coords.longitude};
    });
});

Demo

See this plunker that displays your latitude/longitude

Error Handling

The geolocation module defines a geolocation-msgs constant holding error msgs that are broadcast if the user rejects location access:

$rootScope.$broadcast('error',CONSTANTS['errors.location.notFound']);

or if the browser does not support geolocation:

$rootScope.$broadcast('error',geolocation_msgs['errors.location.unsupportedBrowser']);

Testing
