JavaScript Geolocation More descriptive error codes
Example
In the event that geolocation fails, your callback function will receive a PositionError object. The object will include an attribute named code that will have a value of 1, 2, or 3. Each of these numbers signifies a different kind of error; the getErrorCode() function below takes the PositionError.code as its only argument and returns a string with the name of the error that occurred.
var getErrorCode = function(err) {
switch (err.code) {
case err.PERMISSION_DENIED:
return "PERMISSION_DENIED";
case err.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
return "POSITION_UNAVAILABLE";
case err.TIMEOUT:
return "TIMEOUT";
default:
return "UNKNOWN_ERROR";
}
};
It can be used in geolocationFailure() like so:
var geolocationFailure = function(err) {
console.log("ERROR (" + getErrorCode(err) + "): " + err.message);
};
