About

The user location finder package provides a simple and efficient way to retrieve the user's current location, including the country and town/city, directly from their browser. It utilizes the browser's built-in Geolocation API combined with the BigDataCloud reverse geocoding service to convert geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) into readable location information.

Features

• Easy to Use - Simple API that allows you to get the user's country and town with a single function call.
• No API Key Required - Uses BigDataCloud's free reverse geocoding service, so no API key is needed for basic usage.
• Real-Time Location - Retrieves the user's location in real-time using the browser's Geolocation API.
• Lightweight - Minimal dependencies, ensuring fast performance and easy integration into any JavaScript or Node.js project.
