### Examples

### Get a location's properties (with $w)
This code uses the value of user's chosen location from a dropdown on the page and retrieves all of the location's information.

```javascript
/*****************************************
 * Backend code - get-location.web.js/ts *
 ****************************************/

import { Permissions, webMethod } from '@wix/web-methods';
import { locations } from '@wix/business-tools';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

export const getLocationById = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async (locationId) => {
  try {
    const elevatedGetLocation = auth.elevate(locations.getLocation);
    const myLocation = await elevatedGetLocation(locationId);

    return myLocation;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    throw new Error(error);
  }
});

export const listLocations = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async () => {
  try {
    const elevatedListLocations = auth.elevate(locations.listLocations);
    const results = await elevatedListLocations();

    return results.locations;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    throw new Error(error);
  }
});

/*************
 * Page code *
 ************/

import { getLocationById, listLocations } from 'backend/get-location.web';

$w.onReady(async () => {
  await populateStoresDropdown();

  $w('#getLocationBtn').onClick(async () => {
    const locationId = $w('#locationsDropdown').value;
    const myLocation = await getLocationById(locationId);

    console.log('Here are the details of the location:', myLocation);
    $w('#locationDetails').text = myLocation;
  });
});

async function populateStoresDropdown() {
  const locations = await listLocations();
  const dropdownOptions = locations.map((location) => {
    return {
      label: location.name,
      value: location._id
    }
  });

  $w('#locationsDropdown').options = dropdownOptions;
}

```

### Get a location (with elevated permissions)
```javascript
import { locations } from '@wix/business-tools';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

/* Sample _id value: '0a965e36-4071-4df0-905b-75458817430a' */

export async function myGetLocationFunction(_id) {
  try {
    const elevatedGetLocation = auth.elevate(locations.getLocation);
    const myLocation = await elevatedGetLocation(_id);
    console.log('Here are the details of the location:', myLocation);

    return myLocation;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
}

/* Promise resolves to:
 * {

 *   "address": {

 *       "number": "15"
 *     },
 *     "city": "La Reforma",
 *     "postalCode": "22000"

 */
```

### Get a location
```javascript
import { locations } from '@wix/business-tools';

/* Sample _id value: '0a965e36-4071-4df0-905b-75458817430a' */

export async function myGetLocationFunction(_id) {
  try {
    const myLocation = await locations.getLocation(_id);
    console.log('Here are the details of the location:', myLocation);

    return myLocation;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
}

/* Promise resolves to:
 * {

 */
```

### getLocation (self-hosted)
Self-hosted SDK calls require you to [create a client](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/work-with-the-sdk/about-the-wix-client.md).

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { locations } from '@wix/business-tools';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { locations },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function getLocation(_id) {
  const response = await myWixClient.locations.getLocation(_id);
};
```
