Google Maps
Wrapper for asynchronously used Google Maps API in browser.
This module does not change original google maps api in any way. It just provide easy way to load and use this API asynchronously.
Installation
Environment with common js:
$ npm install google-maps
Download and import one of these files into your .html file:
Usage
var GoogleMapsLoader = require('google-maps'); // only for common js environments
GoogleMapsLoader.load(function(google) {
new google.maps.Map(el, options);
});If you are not using environment with common js support, you can use GoogleMapsLoader variable directly. It is
already in window object.
Options
Own API key
GoogleMapsLoader.KEY = 'qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm';Business API client
GoogleMapsLoader.CLIENT = 'yourclientkey';
GoogleMapsLoader.VERSION = '3.14';Libraries
GoogleMapsLoader.LIBRARIES = ['geometry', 'places'];Localization
GoogleMapsLoader.LANGUAGE = 'fr';Region
GoogleMapsLoader.REGION = 'GB';Unload google api
For testing purposes is good to remove all google objects and restore loader to its original state.
GoogleMapsLoader.release(function() {
console.log('No google maps api around');
});Events
onLoad
GoogleMapsLoader.onLoad(function(google) {
console.log('I just loaded google maps api');
});Tests
$ npm test
