What is the most reliable, precise, method to get a user's location?

I'm making a webapp, eventually an app, that relies entirely on a user's location. I've been searching for a way to get a user's location and all that I've found is 3-5yr old information. Not sure if I should retrieve their IP address(which I don't know how to do) and use an ipstack api to get their location or I've seen that you can just do it with simple js to get geolocation. Not sure what's used nowadays and what's scalable, reliable, and precise. Any information would be appreciated, also welcoming any useful tutorial links. Thank you in advance.
