How to use current location

[skynet2]

Hi @balajivmdu ,

I`m not sure but looks like google places autocomplete does not have functionality to receive current position https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-autocomplete?hl=en

Probably you need to use geolocation service from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geolocation

I've managed to get current location using HTML Geolocation API. But how to cast it to LatLngBounds?

Here's my code: options.model.ts

import { Options as PlacesOptions } from 'ngx-google-places-autocomplete/objects/options/options';
import { ComponentRestrictions } from 'ngx-google-places-autocomplete/objects/options/componentRestrictions';
import { LatLngLiteral } from 'ngx-google-places-autocomplete/objects/latLng';

export class Options extends PlacesOptions {

    public componentRestrictions : ComponentRestrictions = new ComponentRestrictions({
        country: 'BR'
    });
    
    // public bounds: LatLngBounds = [];

    constructor(opt?: Partial<PlacesOptions>) {
        super(opt);

        /* Gets users current geolocation */
        if (this.bounds === undefined && window.navigator.geolocation) {
            window.navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(
                (position) => {
                    let latlng : LatLngLiteral = {
                        lat: position.coords.latitude,
                        lng: position.coords.longitude
                    }

                    this.bounds = {
                        latLng: latlng
                    }
                }
            );
        }
    }
}
