Description

Description: Create a hook for accessing browser geolocation API with proper error handling and loading states.

Requirements:

  • Get current position
  • Watch position changes
  • Handle permissions and errors
  • Loading states

API Proposal:

const { position, error, loading, getCurrentPosition } = useGeolocation();

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing hooks in the repository to follow the same pattern, then implement useGeolocation using the browser's Geolocation API. Focus on state management for position, error, and loading, and provide a getCurrentPosition function that wraps the API with error handling.
