APIs

• $w.Text API
• Window
• Web Methods

How we built it

We added the following to our site:

Page Elements

• Text elements to display a message and the visitor’s country name.

NPM packages

• Which-country-ne-10m
• i18n-iso-countries

Frontend Code

The code in this file finds the site visitor’s geolocation coordinates and displays the visitor’s country.

Home

In this file, we:

• Check that the code is running in a browser.
• Request the visitor’s current geolocation coordinates by calling window.getCurrentGeolocation.
• Retrieve the country of the coordinates from the backend.
• Display the country name.
• Display error messages if the visitor’s location can’t be determined.

Backend Code

location.web.js

The code in this file receives the geolocation coordinates from the frontend and gets the country name with the following method:

• getCountryFromCoords: Receives the latitude and longitude coordinates of the site visitor and then returns the country name after:
  • Converting the coordinates to a country code using the which-country-ne-10m package.
  • Converting the country code to a full country name in English using the i18n-iso-countries package.
