GeocoderGoogleMaps

For the laziest developers. Simple gem/rails-engine that will easily make support for Google Maps working with your Longitude, Latitude coordinates

Geocoder gem isn't necessarily required

Install

add to Gemfile:

gem 'geocoder_google_maps', github: 'equivalent/geocoder_google_maps'

and run

bundle install

Prepare your app

app/controllers/application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  helper GeocoderGoogleMaps::Engine.helpers
  # ...

app/views/layouts/application.haml

%head
  ...
  = google_map_api
  ...

or

%head
  ...
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
  ...

app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require geocoder_google_maps/application

app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

@import 'geocoder_google_maps/application'

or

*= require 'geocoder_google_maps/application'

Usage

Gem is listening for div element with class geocoder-google-maps and its data attributes data-longitude, data-latitude and data-zoom

<div class="geocoder-google-maps" data-latitude="49.2247531" data-longitude="17.6727531" data-zoom="15"></div>

This div can be generated by a built in helper google_map_div(latitude, longitude)

= google_map_div("49.2247531", "17.6727531")
= google_map_div("49.2247531", "17.6727531", zoom: 11)

After this div is found, Google Maps API script will trigger and translate this div into map.

This project sucks, I mean rocks and uses MIT-LICENSE.

Contributing

Seriously? Look at the code it's two one line helpers and piece of junkie JavaScript 💩
