NativeScript location plugin
A nativescript ios plugin to obtain location permission for ios 8 and above.
Installation
Run the following command from the root of your project
$ tns plugin add nativescript-location
This command automatically install the necessary ios files from the cocoapod github repository and adds as a dependency in your package.json file
Examples
There is an sample application at the folder "Sample". To run it (assuming you have nativescript plugin installed globally)
$ sudo npm install typescript -g
$ tsc
$ cd Example
$ tns plugin add ../
Run the application from your mac onto your iOS simulator by typing
$ tns emulate ios --device=iPhone\ 5s
Following code from Sample/app/main.js shows a way to listen to location permission changes
var nativeScriptLocationPermissionModule = require("nativescript-location");
var locationModule = require("location");
function pageLoaded(args) {
var page = args.object;
page.bindingContext = vmModule.mainViewModel;
var locationManager = new nativeScriptLocationPermissionModule.LocationManager();
locationManager.requestLocation().then(function(successResponse){
locationModule.getLocation().then(function(location) {
//do something with the location obtained.
});
},function(reason){
console.log("Failed "+reason);
});
}
exports.pageLoaded = pageLoaded;
Modify key NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in Info.plist to show your own message instead of "Need location when in use".
