Google maps v3 angularjs directive module

Primary LanguageJavaScriptMIT LicenseMIT

GoogleMap AngularJS Directive

There is already one for this. However, I found myself doing totally different approach for this purpose than the existing one, such as;

  1. Everything in tag and attributes
    Therefore, basic users does not even have to know what Javascript is. Tag does it all.

  2. Expose the original Google Maps V3 api
    By doing so, programmers don't need to learn this module.

There is a blog that introduces this module.
The title of it is 'Google Map As The Simplest Way'

To Get Started

  1. include ng-map.js or ng-map.min.js and ngMap module to be active. <script src="https://rawgithub.com/allenhwkim/angularjs-google-maps/master/dist/ng-map.min.js"></script>

    <html ng-app="ngMap">

  2. use map tag, and optionally, marker, and shape tags

    <map style="display:block;height:300px" />  
    

Examples

To use it in your app, please include 'ngMap' as dependency to your app.

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngMap']);

You will also have these three scope variables after these directives are initialized.

* $scope.map
* $scope.markers as a hash
* $scope.shapes as a hash

Directives

There are three directives defined with ng-map module.

  1. map
  2. marker
  3. shape

map Tag(Directive)

As documented, it requires minimum two options, center and zoom. You can specify all map options as attributes.

These are attributes of map tag
