Google Maps Helper

A small utility that helps build google maps. Vanilla JS with lodash/core dependency.

Install

yarn add @djforth/gmaps_helper

npm install --save @djforth/gmaps_helper

Setting up HTML

<div id='google-map-id' data-map='{\'pins\':{\'id\':1,\'lat\':50.722273,\'lng\':-1.873244,\'infowindow\':\'<div class='details'><h3>My Info Window</h3><p>My Address, Some Town. Postcode</p></div>\'}}'> </div>

The data map object can also pass config data or pins as an array.

Basic set up is

  import Maps from '@djforth/gmaps_helper';
  var map = Maps('[gmaps key goes here]')
            .load()

The constructor is passed id of the div you wish to apply the map. Also the google map key, go here to set one up - https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE&reusekey=true

You can also update the googlemaps config like so (see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/3.exp/reference#MapOptions)

const map = Maps("[gmaps key goes here]")
  .addConfig("google-map-id", configObj)
  .setBounds()
  .setZoom(10)
  .load();

Add center (id of map, latitude, longitude)

const map = Maps("[gmaps key goes here]")
  .addCenter("google-map-id", 50.722273, -1.873244)
  .load();

Add Map type (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/3.exp/reference#MapTypeId)

const map = Maps("[gmaps key goes here]")
  .addType("google-map-id", "HYBRID")
  .load();

Add Plugins (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/libraries)

var map = Maps("[gmaps key goes here]")
  .addLibraries("google-map-id", "geometry")
  .load();

Add callback returns google map object:

var map = Maps("[gmaps key goes here]").addCallback(function(
  maps /* Array of maps [{map, options}]*/
) {
  // do something with maps...
});
