Get user's location for Flutter Web

I'm currently using the Flutter Geolocator Plugin to access user's location (latitude/longitude), but it seems like it does not work for the web yet. I tried to find something to retrieve the user's location in Flutter for web, but I couldn't find it.

Has anyone already tried/found something to do the job?

Solution

To be able to retrieve the position for the web part I had to use https://pub.dev/packages/js to expose the JavaScript API and combine it with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation_API.

So here how it looks like :

First create a file (ex: locationJs.dart) to expose the JS function :

 @JS('navigator.geolocation') // navigator.geolocation namespace
 library jslocation; // library name can be whatever you want

 import "package:js/js.dart";

@JS('getCurrentPosition') // Accessing method getCurrentPosition 
from       Geolocation API
external void getCurrentPosition(Function success(GeolocationPosition pos));

@JS()
@anonymous
class GeolocationCoordinates {
  external double get latitude;
  external double get longitude;
  external double get altitude;
  external double get accuracy;
  external double get altitudeAccuracy;
  external double get heading;
  external double get speed;

external factory GeolocationCoordinates(
  {double latitude,
  double longitude,
  double altitude,
  double accuracy,
  double altitudeAccuracy,
  double heading,
  double speed});
  }

@JS()
@anonymous
class GeolocationPosition {
external GeolocationCoordinates get coords;

external factory GeolocationPosition({GeolocationCoordinates 
coords});
}

Call the newly created file

 import 'package:Shared/locationJs.dart';

  success(pos) {
     try {
       print(pos.coords.latitude);
       print(pos.coords.longitude);
       } catch (ex) {
        print("Exception thrown : " + ex.toString());
         }
     }

  _getCurrentLocation() {
      if (kIsWeb) {
        getCurrentPosition(allowInterop((pos) => success(pos)));
                }
      }
