I need to add location field to profile. So that any user could filter posts from the same location.

I would appreciate any suggestions regarding to how to add fields to user's profile.

Not sure what's available for Drupal 8. In Drupal 7 I would start with the address module and probably add a geofield.

Go to /admin/config/people/accounts/fields and you can add fields to the user's profile.
If you want a somewhat sophisticated address field setup, you can install the Addressfield module (https://www.drupal.org/project/addressfield) - or just add individual fields for each address component.

If you want to get fancier with user profiles, have a look at the Profile2 module (https://www.drupal.org/project/profile2).

Your answers fills me in :) Sorry I have been strugling how to add commerceguys/adressing library on my drupal file structure.

So far I have tried:
/libraries/commerceguys/adressing
/sites/all/libraries/commerceguys/adressing
/sites/all/modules/commerceguys/adressing

but none of them worked :(

Not sure what you are referring to but I suspect it is a module and not a library.

  1. I downloaded http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/address-8.x-1.x-dev.tar.gz from https://www.drupal.org/project/address/
  2. I enabled the Adressing module than click "install" button then it gives error message

    3. (x) Address requires the commerceguys/addressing library.

  3. then don't know where to put addressing library from https://github.com/commerceguys/addressing

Cannot install the module. geolocation is not satisfy as it only provides langitude and longitude informations.

If you read through the comments, there is one about doing the steps on development setup and copying the resulting files over.
