GeolocationButton

Spoofable geolocation form fields with progressive enhancement.

Import from hedron import GeolocationButton
Distribution hedron
Backend activity No
Normal render mode RenderMode.FRAGMENT

Live demo

Spoofable form fields — not authorization.

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use

from hedron import GeolocationButton

component = GeolocationButton()

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works

Phase 0.15 surface. Prefer native HTML semantics and ordinary HTTP actions.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters

GeolocationButton(*, label: 'str' = 'Share location', lat_name: 'str' = 'lat', lon_name: 'str' = 'lon', accuracy_name: 'str' = 'accuracy', class_: 'str | None' = None, mark: 'str | None' = None, **kwargs: 'object') -> 'None'
Parameter Type Meaning
label str Accessible label text shown to users. Default: 'Share location'.
lat_name str Form field name for latitude. Default: 'lat'.
lon_name str Form field name for longitude. Default: 'lon'.
accuracy_name str Form field name for reported accuracy. Default: 'accuracy'.
class_ str | None Optional CSS class string (class in HTML). Default: None.
mark str | None Optional stable test mark (data-hedron-mark). Default: None.

Composition and backend behavior

Keep GeolocationButton at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

This component is primarily presentational; keep any mutation on an explicit action or component route.

Accessibility

Keyboard and screen-reader operable; no-JS fallback required where interactive.

Security

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes

  • Do not treat client-only hints (geolocation, browser storage) as authorization.
  • Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
