Explore Geolocation capability via property pane of card-desinger card in Adaptive Card Extension

In this tutorial we will see how we can use the card-designer card's property pane to explore geolocation actions.

We will:

• Update the card strings
• Introduce geolocation actions on the Card View, Primary button and Secondary button

First, figure out the domain to the URL of your SharePoint tenant and site you want to use for testing and access the workbench.aspx page. For example: https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/devsite/_layouts/workbench.aspx.

Here, click on the '+' icon in the middle of the page, and add the card-designer card on the canvas.

Next, click the pencil icon adjacent to this card to open the property pane.

Update the card strings

Here, first set the card size to Large.

To provide descriptive labels, change Title to GeoLocation, Heading to GeoLocation Demo and description to Demo GeoLocation Actions.

Adding action on Card View

Under Actions, click the drop-down menu of card action and select Select location from a map option.

Adding action on Primary button

Next, for the Primary Button, set the Title to My Location and from its action drop-down menu, select Display a specified or current location.

Adding action on Secondary button

Finally, for the Secondary Button, set the Title to Custom Location and from its action drop-down menu, select Display a specified or current location.

Next, turn on the Display a specified location toggle button.

This will bring up two text boxes for location coordinates.

Here you may provide any location coordinates of your choice.

For our example, we are putting in 27.98884062493244 as the value for the text-box labeled latitude and 86.9249751 for the text-box labeled longitude. These are the coordinates of Mount Everest.

Try the geolocation actions

Now close the property pane and click Preview from the top right hand corner of the page:

• Click on the card itself to select a location from the map
• Clicking on My location will open a map showing your current location
• Clicking on Show custom location will open a map showing your custom location (Mount Everest)

You can now check out the three geolocation actions that you introduced via the property pane.
