How can I use HTML5 geolocation in angularjs


How can I use HTML5 geolocation in angularjs? I can get it using HTML5; but how can I pass it to angularjs scope in controller? any sample jsfiddle will save my day!


Solution

  • you can do something

    myApp.controller('fooCtrl', function($scope){
      if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position){
          $scope.$apply(function(){
            $scope.position = position;
          });
        });
      }
    })
    

    you need to do $scope.$apply to trigger the digest cycle when the geolocation arrives and to update all the watchers.
