aurelia2-google-maps

A plugin for working with Google Maps in Aurelia 2 applications.

Installation

npm install aurelia2-google-maps

If you are using TypeScript, add the Google Maps types:

npm install -D @types/google.maps

Configure your app

Inside of main.ts/main.js register the plugin:

import { GoogleMapsConfiguration } from "aurelia2-google-maps";

Aurelia.register(
  GoogleMapsConfiguration.configure({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    libraries: ["places", "geometry", "drawing"],
    options: {
      backgroundColor: "#495061",
    },
  })
);

If you prefer a callback style:

import { GoogleMapsConfiguration } from "aurelia2-google-maps";

Aurelia.register(
  GoogleMapsConfiguration.customize((config) => {
    config.options({
      apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
      language: "en",
      region: "US",
    });
  })
);

Loader options

You can pass any loader options through loaderOptions (for example mapIds, authReferrerPolicy, channel, or solutionChannel). Use libraries or apiLibraries to load extra Google Maps libraries.

Using the map component

<google-map
  latitude.bind="lat"
  longitude.bind="lng"
  zoom.bind="zoom"
  markers.bind="markers"
  polygons.bind="polygons"
  auto-update-bounds.bind="true"
  on-event.bind="handleMapEvent">
</google-map>

onEvent receives a typed event union. You can switch on event.type to handle map, marker, polygon, and info window events.

Places, Geocoder, Autocomplete

import { GoogleMaps } from "aurelia2-google-maps";

export class MyViewModel {
  map!: GoogleMaps;

  async attached() {
    const geocoder = await this.map.getGeocoder();
    const places = await this.map.getPlacesService();
    const autocomplete = await this.map.createAutocomplete(
      this.addressInput,
      { fields: ["place_id", "geometry", "name"] }
    );
  }
}

Marker clustering

Marker clustering uses @googlemaps/markerclusterer and accepts the modern MarkerClustererOptions under markerCluster.options.

GoogleMapsConfiguration.configure({
  markerCluster: {
    enable: true,
    options: {
      onClusterClick: (event, cluster, map) => {
        map.fitBounds(cluster.bounds);
      }
    }
  }
});

Note: the legacy markerCluster.src, imagePath, and imageExtension options are no longer used.
