Angularjs Google Maps & Directions Directive
This is used when you need a map and/or direction in one area.
For independant map & directions take a look at the twin repo at npmapdirectindie
Required Dependencies for Component:
-
Angularjs
Stable:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.7/angular.min.js"></script>--or--
Unstable:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.min.js"></script>Please refer to the following url for version(stability) discrepancies.
You can still use the "unstable" version for the latest animate and other ng directives.
-
Google Maps Api v3
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
Optional Dependencies:
-
Zurb Foundation
Used in simple styling of map and directions.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/foundation/4.1.6/css/foundation.min.css" />
Below illustrates a simple setup:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="mapComponent">
<head>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/foundation/4.1.6/css/foundation.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<map></map>
</body>
</html>
Adding ng-app="mapComponent" to the <html> tag implies the module mapComponent is the root module for the app.
If you do not want this side effect, you can wrap the <map></map> element with a div tag like so:
<div ng-app="mapComponent">
<map></map>
</div>
leaving the <html> tag clear of attributes as you would per normal situation.
IE browser and validation note
If you care about IE versions <= 9 use the attribute or class version of <map></map> directive.
The results would be like so respectively:
<div data-map></div>
or
<div class="map"></div>
The width and height of the map are controlled explicitly by CSS.
Edits should be made to the CSS and not via javascript.
The following options are available as attributes for map/directions customization:
Denotes defaults
- destination: address to user will arrive to.
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Santa Clara County, CA - markerContent: content of the initial marker and if not using directions.
Google HQ - zoom: zoom level of the initial map.
15 - type: types of map roadmap, satellite, hybird, & terrain.
roadmap - directions: a boolean to show or hide directions.
true
Ex:
<map destination="Philadelphia PA" type="hybrid" zoom="18" marker-content="Philly"></map>
as previously noted the below version would be valid (validators):
<div class="map" data-destination="Philadelphia PA" data-type="hybrid" data-zoom="18" data-marker-content="Philly"></div>
The above would result into a destination of Philadelphia PA with the map type of hybrid so both roadmap & satellite combined.
Along with an initial zoom level of 18 and if a user were to click on the marker the info window would appear to display Philly.
Any options omitted will simply default to the data described above.
Todo
- Add more options.
- Maybe create a service as directive feeder.
