gmaps.js module to create custom map types.
For using with bundlers (as Browserify or Webpack):
npm install gmaps.map_types --save
Before require() this module you need to require('gmaps.core').
For using directly in the browser, download the gmaps.map_types.js (or gmaps.map_types.min.js) in dist.
You need to register a <script> tag with the Google Maps JavaScript API, then import gmaps.core.
Every Google Maps map needs a container (<div id="map"></div> in this demo), which needs to have width and height, and be visible (without display: none, for example):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
<script src="gmaps.core.js"></script>
<script src="gmaps.map_types.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
#map {
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
var map = new GMaps({
el : '#map',
lat: -12.0433,
lng: -77.0283,
zoom: 12,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
mapTypeIds : ['hybrid', 'roadmap', 'satellite', 'terrain', 'osm']
}
});
map.addMapType('osm', {
getTileUrl: function(coord, zoom) {
return 'https://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/' + zoom + '/' + coord.x + '/' + coord.y + '.png';
},
tileSize: new google.maps.Size(256, 256),
name: 'OpenStreetMap',
maxZoom: 18
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
For more examples you can check the tests in this repo.
Add a new map type into the mapTypes property of the map. This map type must have a unique identifier (mapTypeId) and have a getTileUrl method.
To show the new map type in the map types list you need to add the new mapTypeId into the mapTypeIds array, in the mapTypeControlOptions, in the GMaps constructor:
new GMaps({
// ...
mapTypeControlOptions: {
mapTypeIds : ['hybrid', 'roadmap', 'satellite', 'terrain', myMapTypeId]
}
});
The options object must have a getTileUrl method, and accepts all the options from the Google Maps JavaScript API.
Add a new overlay map type into the overlayMapTypes property of the map. The main difference between a map type and an overlay map type is that an overlay map type is shown above the selected map type.
The options object must have a getTile method, and should contain:
index(number): The index of the overlay map type in theoverlayMapTypesarray. If is not defined, the overlay map type will be added at the end of the list.
Also, the options object accepts all the options from the Google Maps JavaScript API.
Remove a previously added overlay map type, using the same index from addOverlayMapType.
Remove all the overlay map types.
The following methods trigger custom events. You need to add the gmaps.events module before using this module to work with those events:
| Method | Event |
|---|---|
addMapType |
map_type_added |
addOverlayMapType |
overlay_map_type_added |
removeOverlayMapType |
overlay_map_type_removed |
