or to watch a location

this.$watchLocation(options)
  .then(coordinates => {
    console.log(coordinates);
  })

you can clear the watcher

this.$clearLocationWatch(watchID)

please refer to the Geolocation docs to reference how to get a watchID

Options

See PositionOptions

Example

this.$getLocation({
	enableHighAccuracy: bool, //defaults to false
	timeout: Infinity, //defaults to Infinity
	maximumAge: int //defaults to 0
	
})
  .then(coordinates => {
    console.log(coordinates);
  });

Forcing failure in automated testing

If you need to setup automated testing in your application, and you need to force failure of geolocation to test how your application behaves, you can pass a second argument (forceReject) to this.$getGelocation and this.$watchLocation:

this.$getLocation(positionOptions, forceReject)

this.$watchLocation(positionOptions, forceReject)

if the parameter is true, the promise will be rejected with a special error message.
