Get User Location With Javascript

If you’re building a location-based application like a food delivery app etc, it’s obvious that your app will need to get user’s current location.

At the end of this tutorial, you will have a simple application built similar to the animation below.

To build that, I will be first showing you how to get the current user’s location in the form of latitude and longitude coordinates using the HTML5 Geolocation API.

Then, you’re going to learn how to convert the latitude and longitude coordinates into an actual human-readable address using Geocoding API from Google.

Finally, I will show you how to add Autocomplete API which will let users enter their addresses manually when Geolocation API Locator permission was denied or not supported.
