Vue 3 Google maps Components

Set of mostly used Google Maps components for Vue.js.

Why this library exists?

We heavily use Google Maps in our projects, so I wanted to have a well maintained Google Maps library.

Documentation

Checkout vue-map.netlify.app for a detailed documentation or codesandbox for an example

Installation

You can install it using npm

npm install -S @fawmi/vue-google-maps

Basic usage

You need an API Key. Learn how to get an Api key .

Configure Vue to use the Components

In your main.js

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import  VueGoogleMaps from '@fawmi/vue-google-maps'

const app = createApp(App);
app.use(VueGoogleMaps, {
    load: {
        key: 'YOUR_API_KEY_COMES_HERE',
    },
}).mount('#app')

Use it anywhere in your components

<template>
  <GMapMap
      :center="{lat: 51.093048, lng: 6.842120}"
      :zoom="7"
      map-type-id="terrain"
      style="width: 100vw; height: 900px"
  >
  </GMapMap>
</template>

<script >
export default {
  name: 'App',
  data() {
    return {
      center: {lat: 51.093048, lng: 6.842120},
    }
  }
}
</script>

Components

Markers

If you need to add markers to the Map, add GMapMarker as child of GMapMap component.

<template>
  <GMapMap
      :center="center"
      :zoom="7"
      map-type-id="terrain"
      style="width: 500px; height: 300px"
  >
    <GMapMarker
        :key="marker.id"
        v-for="marker in markers"
        :position="marker.position"
    />
  </GMapMap>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  name: 'App',
  data() {
    return {
      center: {lat: 51.093048, lng: 6.842120},
      markers: [
        {
          id: 'dfsldjl3r',
          position: {
            lat: 51.093048, lng: 6.842120
          },
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
</script>

Cluster

If you have too many markers, it is helpful to cluster markers. You can easily cluster markers by wrapping your markers with GMapCluster component.

<template>
  <GMapMap
      :center="center"
      :zoom="7"
      map-type-id="terrain"
      style="width: 500px; height: 300px"
  >
    <GMapCluster>
      <GMapMarker
          :key="index"
          v-for="(m, index) in markers"
          :position="m.position"
          :clickable="true"
          :draggable="true"
          @click="center=m.position"
      />
    </GMapCluster>
  </GMapMap>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  name: 'App',
  data() {
    return {
      center: {lat: 51.093048, lng: 6.842120},
      markers: [
        {
          position: {
            lat: 51.093048, lng: 6.842120
          },
        }
        , // Along list of clusters
      ]
    }
  }
}
</script>

Access map object

If you want to access google map object, you can access it by getting ref of the map object.

<template>
  <GMapMap ref="myMapRef" />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  mounted() {
    console.log(this.$refs.myMapRef)
  }
}
</script>

Map options

You can pass Map options using options property:

See MapOptions for a complete list of available options.

<GMapMap
 :options="{
   zoomControl: true,
   mapTypeControl: false,
   scaleControl: false,
   streetViewControl: false,
   rotateControl: false,
   fullscreenControl: true,
   disableDefaultUi: false
 }"
>
</GMapMap>
