How to get city name using geolocation with JavaScript?
To get city name using geolocation with JavaScript, we can use the geolocator.js library.
To install it, we add
<script type="text/javascript" src="geolocator.min.js"></script>
into our HTML code.
Then we write
const options = {
enableHighAccuracy: true,
fallbackToIP: true,
addressLookup: true,
};
geolocator.locate(options, (err, location) => {
console.log(location.address.city);
});
to call geolocator.locate with the options object to set some options.
We set fallbackToIP to true to fallback to using IP address for getting location if geolocation isn’t available.
And we set addressLookup to true to get the address data from the location.
Then we get the city name with location.address.city in the callback.
Conclusion
