ng-map: how to set origin to current location for directions?

Question

I'm using AngularJS and ng-map.

How can I set the directions origin to my current location?

I've tried:

<directions 
    destination="..."
    origin="current-location">
</directions>
  

But this causes the map to not render anything.

Thank you for the help to set my current location as the origin.

It's currently not supported but is on the backlog.

Allen provided the following response to acquire the current location using an API call:

NavigatorGeolocation.getCurrentPosition().then(function(pos) { ... });
