How can I use the “how ld” functionality by using JavaScript and HTML for tracking the current location of the user?

35    Asked by DavidPiper in QA Testing , Asked on May 3, 2024

I am currently engaged in a particular task that is related to developing a web-based application that requires location-based services. How can I implement the “how ld” function by using JavaScript and HTML so that I can fetch and also display the current location accurately on a map of users? 

 In the context of selenium, here are the steps given for how you can implement this functionality:-

Request user geolocation

Firstly, you would need to request the user’s geolocation by using the geolocation API.

Displaying location on a map

You can use a mapping library like Google Maps API or Leaflet to display the location of the user on the map.

User permission handling

It is very crucial to handle the user permission and inform them about the location tracking.

Here is the combined coding given for the above steps:-

From selenium import web driver

From selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

Import time

# Set Chrome options for headless mode and allow geolocation

Chrome_options = Options()
Chrome_options.add_argument(“—headless”)
Chrome_options.add_experimental_option(“prefs”, {“profile.default_content_setting_values.geolocation”: 1})
# Initialize the WebDriver with Chrome options
Driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
# Load a webpage that uses geolocation (replace URL with your webpage)
Driver.get(https://example.com)

# Wait for the page to load and grant geolocation permission

Time.sleep(2) # Adjust this wait time as needed

  Driver.find_element_by_id(“geolocation-button”).click()  # Replace “geolocation-button” with the actual button ID

# Wait for the geolocation to be fetched

  Time.sleep(5)  # Adjust this wait time as needed

# Get the latitude and longitude from the geolocation API

Latitude = driver.execute_script(“return navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) { return position.coords.latitude; });”)
Longitude = driver.execute_script(“return navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) { return position.coords.longitude; });”)

# Display the latitude and longitude

Print(“Latitude:”, latitude)
Print(“Longitude:”, longitude)
# Close the WebDriver
Driver.quit()

Here is the combined coding given by using HTML programming language:-

            } else {
                Alert(“Geolocation is not supported by this browser.”);
            }
        }
        Function showPosition(position) {
            Var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
            Var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
            initMap(latitude, longitude);
        }
