API
available
Not all devices have the Google (Android) or Apple (iOS) Maps app installed. Well, most do of course, but on an Android simulator you may be out of luck, so let's check beforehand:
JavaScript
// require the pluginvar LocateAddress = LocateAddress; // instantiate the pluginvar locator = ; locator;
TypeScript
// require the plugin; // instantiate the pluginlet locator = ; locator;
locate
This function opens the native Maps app with a predefined address.
Note that if the address is not recognized you won't be able to get location, don't blame this plugin for that.
JavaScript
locator;
TypeScript
locator;
You can use lat
and lng
to locate address.
JavaScript
locator;
TypeScript
locator;
Future work
