Angular Geolocation

A simple wrapper for accessing geolocation features within AngularJS.

I've just started this so it's still a work in progress.

Tests

Need to write tests.

To run the tests run the script test.sh. You will need to have node.js and npm installed to do this. Running the tests will run jshint, jslint and a series of test cases.

API

All methods require a callback with the following format:

function(err, res) {
  // Sample error handling code...
  if(err) {
    console.log('Unable to get user position.');
  } else {
    // Returned object format
    // res.latitude;
    // res.longitude;
    // res.altitude;
    // res.accuracy;
    // res.altitudeAccuracy;
    // res.heading;
    // res.speed;
  }
}

Errors

The error returned to your callback is either null or one of the following strings.

#####PERMISSION_DENIED The user has not allowed access to their location.

#####POSITION_UNAVAILABLE Returned when a user's position could not be calculated.

#####TIMEOUT Acquiring the users position took longer than allowed.

#####NO_SUPPORT The device/browser does not support geolocation.

Functions

getCoarsePosition([timeout, [maximumAge]], callback)

Gets a users position quickly and a little less accurately than getFinePosition. Callback is the only required paramater.

getFinePosition([timeout, [maximumAge]], callback)

Gets a users position accurately as possible. Callback is the only required paramater.
