Add dcc.Geolocation

Recreated PR from old dash-core-components repo # 962

• I have added entry in the CHANGELOG.md

The Geolocation component uses the Geolocation API. This will cause the user's browser to ask for permission to access location data. If they accept, then the browser will use the best available functionality on the device to access this information (for example, GPS).

Component Properties

Prop name	Description	Default value	Example values
id	id of component	n/a
local_date	The local date and time that the device position was updated	datetime string	10/20/2020, 7:02:48 AM
timestamp	The Unix timestamp from when the position was updated
position	A dictionary with the following keys: lat latitude in degrees lon longitude in degrees accuracy of the lat/lon in meters When available: alt altitude in meters alt_accuracy in meters heading in degrees speed in meters per sec	n/a
update_now	Forces a one-time update to the position data. If set to True in a callback, the browser will update the position data and reset update_now back to False. This can, for example, be used to update the position with a button click or an interval timer.	False	True or False
high_accuracy	If true and if the device is able to provide a more accurate position,it will do so. Note that this can result in slower response times or increased power consumption (with a GPS chip on a mobile device for example). If false the device can take the liberty to save resources by responding more quickly and/or using less power.	False	True or False
maximum_age	The maximum age in milliseconds of a possible cached position that is acceptable to return. If set to 0,it means that the device cannot use a cached position and must attempt to retrieve the real current position. If set to Infinity the device must return a cached position regardless of its age.	0
timeout	The maximum length of time (in milliseconds) the device is allowed to take in order to return a position. The default value is Infinity, meaning that data will not be return until the position is available.	Infinity

consumption (with a GPS on a mobile device for example). If `False` (the default value), the device can save resources

- __Show errors as alert__ This sets the `show_alert` prop. When `True` error messages will be displayed as an
`alert` in the browser. When `False` you can provide your own custom error handling in the app.
- __Max Age__ The `maximum_age` prop will provide a cached location after specified number of milliseconds if no new

- __Timeout__ The `timeout` prop is the number of milliseconds allowed for the position to update without

- __Zoom and Center__ is not a component prop. In this demo app, the map uses uirevision to hold the user
settings for pan, zoom etc, so those won't change when the position data is updated.
- __Follow me__ In this demo app, dcc.Interval is used to set the `update_now` prop to
True at the interval time specified. To stop following, set the interval time to zero. The app will
then disable `dcc.Interval` in a callback so the position will no longer be updated.

[alexcjohnson]

Would it be better to put this at the very beginning of updatePosition, so it's cleared even if geolocation is unsupported? Also maybe wrap it in if (this.props.update_now) { ... } so we don't call setProps unnecessarily?

[alexcjohnson]

💃 Looks great, nice work @AnnMarieW! Other than my one nonblocking comment, please add a changelog entry and this will be good to go!

updatePosition doesn't require a bind, it's not used as pointer.

[alexcjohnson]

Would it be better to put this at the very beginning of updatePosition, so it's cleared even if geolocation is unsupported? Also maybe wrap it in if (this.props.update_now) { ... } so we don't call setProps unnecessarily?

[alexcjohnson]

💃 Looks great, nice work @AnnMarieW! Other than my one nonblocking comment, please add a changelog entry and this will be good to go!

updatePosition doesn't require a bind, it's not used as pointer.

Add dcc.Geolocation

Recreated PR from old dash-core-components repo # 962

• I have added entry in the CHANGELOG.md

The Geolocation component uses the Geolocation API. This will cause the user's browser to ask for permission to access location data. If they accept, then the browser will use the best available functionality on the device to access this information (for example, GPS).

Component Properties

Prop name	Description	Default value	Example values
id	id of component	n/a
local_date	The local date and time that the device position was updated	datetime string	10/20/2020, 7:02:48 AM
timestamp	The Unix timestamp from when the position was updated
position	A dictionary with the following keys: lat latitude in degrees lon longitude in degrees accuracy of the lat/lon in meters When available: alt altitude in meters alt_accuracy in meters heading in degrees speed in meters per sec	n/a
update_now	Forces a one-time update to the position data. If set to True in a callback, the browser will update the position data and reset update_now back to False. This can, for example, be used to update the position with a button click or an interval timer.	False	True or False
high_accuracy	If true and if the device is able to provide a more accurate position,it will do so. Note that this can result in slower response times or increased power consumption (with a GPS chip on a mobile device for example). If false the device can take the liberty to save resources by responding more quickly and/or using less power.	False	True or False
maximum_age	The maximum age in milliseconds of a possible cached position that is acceptable to return. If set to 0,it means that the device cannot use a cached position and must attempt to retrieve the real current position. If set to Infinity the device must return a cached position regardless of its age.	0
timeout	The maximum length of time (in milliseconds) the device is allowed to take in order to return a position. The default value is Infinity, meaning that data will not be return until the position is available.	Infinity

position data from `dcc.Geolocation`. Sometimes it's slow. If the timeout is small,
it's better not to select this option.
- __Enable High Accuracy__ This sets the `high_accuracy` prop. If selected, if the device is able to provide a
more accurate position, it will do so. Note that this can result in slower response times or increased power
consumption (with a GPS on a mobile device for example). If `False` (the default value), the device can save resources
by responding more quickly and/or using less power. Note: When selected, timeout should be set to a high number or a
max age should be provided as GPS sometimes takes longer to update.
- __Show errors as alert__ This sets the `show_alert` prop. When `True` error messages will be displayed as an
`alert` in the browser. When `False` you can provide your own custom error handling in the app.
- __Max Age__ The `maximum_age` prop will provide a cached location after specified number of milliseconds if no new
position data is available before the timeout. If set to zero, it will not use a cached data.
- __Timeout__ The `timeout` prop is the number of milliseconds allowed for the position to update without
generating an error message.
- The __dates and times__ show when the position data was obtained. The date reflects the
current system time from the computer running the browser. The accuracy is dependent on this being set correctly
in the user's browser.
- __Zoom and Center__ is not a component prop. In this demo app, the map uses uirevision to hold the user
settings for pan, zoom etc, so those won't change when the position data is updated.

Would it be better to put this at the very beginning of updatePosition, so it's cleared even if geolocation is unsupported? Also maybe wrap it in if (this.props.update_now) { ... } so we don't call setProps unnecessarily?

[alexcjohnson]

Add dcc.Geolocation

Recreated PR from old dash-core-components repo # 962

• I have added entry in the CHANGELOG.md

The Geolocation component uses the Geolocation API. This will cause the user's browser to ask for permission to access location data. If they accept, then the browser will use the best available functionality on the device to access this information (for example, GPS).

Component Properties

Prop name	Description	Default value	Example values
id	id of component	n/a
local_date	The local date and time that the device position was updated	datetime string	10/20/2020, 7:02:48 AM
timestamp	The Unix timestamp from when the position was updated
position	A dictionary with the following keys: lat latitude in degrees lon longitude in degrees accuracy of the lat/lon in meters When available: alt altitude in meters alt_accuracy in meters heading in degrees speed in meters per sec	n/a
update_now	Forces a one-time update to the position data. If set to True in a callback, the browser will update the position data and reset update_now back to False. This can, for example, be used to update the position with a button click or an interval timer.	False	True or False
high_accuracy	If true and if the device is able to provide a more accurate position,it will do so. Note that this can result in slower response times or increased power consumption (with a GPS chip on a mobile device for example). If false the device can take the liberty to save resources by responding more quickly and/or using less power.	False	True or False
maximum_age	The maximum age in milliseconds of a possible cached position that is acceptable to return. If set to 0,it means that the device cannot use a cached position and must attempt to retrieve the real current position. If set to Infinity the device must return a cached position regardless of its age.	0
timeout	The maximum length of time (in milliseconds) the device is allowed to take in order to return a position. The default value is Infinity, meaning that data will not be return until the position is available.	Infinity

- __Include Address__ This is a demo of how geopy can be used to to get an address based on the
position data from `dcc.Geolocation`. Sometimes it's slow. If the timeout is small,
it's better not to select this option.
- __Enable High Accuracy__ This sets the `high_accuracy` prop. If selected, if the device is able to provide a
more accurate position, it will do so. Note that this can result in slower response times or increased power
consumption (with a GPS on a mobile device for example). If `False` (the default value), the device can save resources
by responding more quickly and/or using less power. Note: When selected, timeout should be set to a high number or a
max age should be provided as GPS sometimes takes longer to update.
- __Show errors as alert__ This sets the `show_alert` prop. When `True` error messages will be displayed as an
`alert` in the browser. When `False` you can provide your own custom error handling in the app.
- __Max Age__ The `maximum_age` prop will provide a cached location after specified number of milliseconds if no new
position data is available before the timeout. If set to zero, it will not use a cached data.
- __Timeout__ The `timeout` prop is the number of milliseconds allowed for the position to update without
generating an error message.
- The __dates and times__ show when the position data was obtained. The date reflects the
current system time from the computer running the browser. The accuracy is dependent on this being set correctly
in the user's browser.
- __Zoom and Center__ is not a component prop. In this demo app, the map uses uirevision to hold the user
settings for pan, zoom etc, so those won't change when the position data is updated.
- __Follow me__ In this demo app, dcc.Interval is used to set the `update_now` prop to
True at the interval time specified. To stop following, set the interval time to zero. The app will
then disable `dcc.Interval` in a callback so the position will no longer be updated.

- __Show errors as alert__ This sets the `show_alert` prop. When `True` error messages will be displayed as an
`alert` in the browser. When `False` you can provide your own custom error handling in the app.
- __Max Age__ The `maximum_age` prop will provide a cached location after specified number of milliseconds if no new
position data is available before the timeout. If set to zero, it will not use a cached data.
- __Timeout__ The `timeout` prop is the number of milliseconds allowed for the position to update without
generating an error message.
- The __dates and times__ show when the position data was obtained. The date reflects the
current system time from the computer running the browser. The accuracy is dependent on this being set correctly
in the user's browser.
- __Zoom and Center__ is not a component prop. In this demo app, the map uses uirevision to hold the user
settings for pan, zoom etc, so those won't change when the position data is updated.
- __Follow me__ In this demo app, dcc.Interval is used to set the `update_now` prop to
True at the interval time specified. To stop following, set the interval time to zero. The app will
then disable `dcc.Interval` in a callback so the position will no longer be updated.

Would it be better to put this at the very beginning of updatePosition, so it's cleared even if geolocation is unsupported? Also maybe wrap it in if (this.props.update_now) { ... } so we don't call setProps unnecessarily?

[alexcjohnson]

💃 Looks great, nice work @AnnMarieW! Other than my one nonblocking comment, please add a changelog entry and this will be good to go!

updatePosition doesn't require a bind, it's not used as pointer.

[T4rk1n]

💃 Looks good
