getCurrentGeolocation( )

Returns the current geolocation of the user.

The getCurrentGeolocation() function returns a Promise that resolves to an object containing the current geolocation of the user.

The getCurrentGeolocation() function has the following limitations:

  • On Chrome, the function only works on HTTPS sites.
  • On Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, the function only works if the user approves a popup. If they do not approve, the promise is rejected.
  • Run getCurrentGeolocation() with a setTimeout() in case the browser is set to not detect the locale. Adding the timeout lets you handle the unfulfilled promise.
