Methods

To access the methods, you need import the react-native-location module. This is done through var Beacons = require('react-native-location').

Location.requestWhenInUseAuthorization

Location.requestWhenInUseAuthorization();

This method should be called before anything else. It requests location updates while the application is open. If the application is in the background, you will not get location updates.

Location.startUpdatingLocation

Location.startUpdatingLocation();
var subscription = DeviceEventEmitter.addListener(
    'locationUpdated',
    (location) => {
        // do something with the location
    }
);
