Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

The Modern, Drift-Free Successor to markerwithlabel

npm version License: MIT

AdvancedLabelMarker is a high-performance Google Maps overlay engineered to eliminate the "floating" or "sliding" effect (drift) often seen in custom HTML labels. It is built specifically to address the February 2024 deprecation of google.maps.Marker.


🚀 Why This Module?

1. Fixes the Deprecation Warning

If you see the console error: As of February 21st, 2024, google.maps.Marker is deprecated. Please use AdvancedMarkerElement instead. This library is your solution. It bridges the gap between the new AdvancedMarkerElement and custom HTML overlays.

2. Zero Zoom Drift (Pixel-Perfect)

Legacy libraries like markerwithlabel rely on events that fire after a zoom, causing labels to "drift" away from their pins. This module hooks into the map's internal render loop via OverlayView, ensuring the label and marker stay mathematically locked together during transitions.

3. Modern Tech Stack

  • Supports Google Maps JS API v3.56+.
  • Uses WebGL-optimized markers.
  • Fully compatible with modern bundlers (Vite, Webpack, ES Modules).

📦 Installation

Requirements

This library requires the Google Maps JavaScript API.

Load it before using this package:

<script
  src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&v=weekly"
  defer
></script>

```bash
npm install @johnson361/advanced-label-marker
