Introduction

To use the location module, import wixLocationFrontend from the wix-location-frontend module:

import wixLocationFrontend from 'wix-location-frontend';

The setter functions in wix-location-frontend can only be used when browser rendering happens, meaning you can only use them in frontend code after the page is ready. You can use the getter functions for both server-side or browser rendering.
