    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    You have the list of the currently supported module in this wiki page.

    A quick look shows that currently neither QtLocation nor QtPosition are available.

      Thanks,
      I downloaded the qt source code and tried to build the qtlocation module manually using wasm_32. First I did:

      qmake qtlocation.pro 
      
      Running configuration tests...
      Done running configuration tests.
      
      Configure summary:
      
      Qt Positioning:
        Gypsy GPS Daemon ....................... no
        WinRT Geolocation API .................. no
      Qt Location:
        Qt.labs.location experimental QML plugin . yes
        Geoservice plugins:
          OpenStreetMap ........................ no
          HERE ................................. yes
          Esri ................................. yes
          Mapbox ............................... yes
          MapboxGL ............................. yes
          Itemsoverlay ......................... yes
      
      Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
      Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
      Qt will be installed into '/BUILDS/workspace/Qt-5-14/5.14.1/wasm_32'.
      
      Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
      the previous build.
      

      But when running make I get the error:

      make
      Some of the required modules (!wasm) are not available.
      Skipped.
      

      Does this mean that it is also not possible to manually build the qtlocation module for wasm_32?
      Can I force it to build?

      Best regards,
      Michiel

          Any news if at least QtLocation will be supported in the near future for Qt for webassembly?

              Hello,
              We have a QML application making use of the modules QtLocation and QtPositioning (for showing a Map with MapItems). The application runs fine on linux gcc_64, but when building and deploying it using wasm_32 (webassembly), we get the errors:
              module "QtLocation" is not installed
              module "QtPositioning" is not installed

              It seems that these modules are not yet available for webassembly.
              Can anyone confirm this?

              Best regards,
              Michiel

              @michjans QtLocation is actually not supported for webassembly.If you want to test the map on a browser you can try with WEBGL plugin

                Could you explain a bit more about how to use a map in qt web assembly.

                  @Mesrine he meant using the QPA WebGL Plugin: https://github.com/qt/qtwebglplugin ; however it is not supported in Qt6. If you are willing to give that a try, let's share some notes.

                  I'm a new comer to this space and am trying to get a Map to display on the browser. So far I looked at the possible high levels avenues to be explored, note that these come from a naive and uneducated point of view:

                  • Update QtPositioning and QtLocation for web assembly (unsure about the effort required)
                  • Create a QtWebMaps modules with only the slippy map of QtLocation (unsure if this can be done license-wise)
                  • Update the qtwebglplugin to Qt6 (unsure about the effort required or technical possibilities)

                      @discipline here I used Leaflet javascript to add a map, and the map communicates with the Qt app through normal wasm function bindings.
                      The repo is here

                        @Mesrine thanks for sharing! Awesome work there!

                        At this time I am more inclined to a single C++ codebase for a proof of concept which would target Web, Desktop and Mobile. However if it comes to it, I could end up with a separate solution for WASM inspired by what you have there.
