WebKit.GeolocationPermissionRequestClass

A permission request for sharing the user’s location.

WebKit.GeolocationPermissionRequest represents a request for permission to decide whether WebKit should provide the user’s location to a website when requested through the Geolocation API.

When a WebKit.GeolocationPermissionRequest is not handled by the user, it is denied by default.

When embedding web views in your application, you *must* configure an application identifier to allow web content to use geolocation services. The identifier *must* match the name of the .desktop file which describes the application, sans the suffix.

If your application uses Gio.Application (or any subclass like Gtk.Application), WebKit will automatically use the identifier returned by Gio.Application.get_application_id(). This is the recommended approach for enabling geolocation in applications.

If an identifier cannot be obtained through Gio.Application, the value returned by GLib.get_prgname() will be used instead as a fallback. For programs which cannot use Gio.Application, calling GLib.set_prgname() early during initialization is needed when the name of the executable on disk does not match the name of a valid .desktop file.
