tracelet_web 1.4.2

Web implementation of the Tracelet background geolocation plugin.

tracelet_web

Web implementation of the Tracelet background geolocation plugin.

This package uses browser APIs (Geolocation, Permissions, fetch, navigator.onLine) to provide foreground-only location tracking on the web.

Important: The web platform does not support background location tracking. The Web Geolocation API only works while the page/tab is in the foreground.

Usage

You should not depend on this package directly. Instead, depend on tracelet which automatically includes this package on web builds.

dependencies:
  tracelet: ^1.1.0

For a full compatibility matrix of what works and what doesn't on web, see the Web Support Guide.
