inertia-google-maps

Google Map integration for VueJs + Inertia

Demo

I made an adaptation for something very specific that I need, follow the link of the original application: https://github.com/maxal-studio/vuejs3-google-maps

You can clone this directory and run the command below to generate a demo Vue 3 project using this plugin!

npm run serve:demo

Description

This plugin integrates google places into your vue3 application. It uses browser geolocation to track the user. You will have to provide a default fallback address and lat,lng in case the plugin fails to find the user's location. Once the location is found the map is centered and a Marker is placed on the map. The user can search for a different location, move the marker by dragging or clicking.

Events

1. Search - User can search by query for any kind of address
2. Map clicking - Once a click is triggered on the map, the plugin will try to find the nearest road, business, city.
3. Dragging - Dragging will not trigger any Map API events, it will only update the users latitude and longitude

Callbacks

1. On each map data change the plugin will return back a list of computed data:

{
  address_description: "Global Records Albania, Rruga Frederik Shiroka 3, Tiranë, Albania"
  city: "Tiranë"
  country: "Albania"
  lat: 41.327455
  lng: 19.80484
  place: Proxy {address_components: Array(6), formatted_address: "Rruga Frederik Shiroka 3, Tiranë, Albania", geometry: {…}, name: "Global Records Albania", html_attributions: Array(0), …} //Google Maps API place object
  query: ""
  state: "Qarku i Tiranës"
  zip_code: "1001" //Sometime comes as null
}

Installation

npm i inertia-google-maps

Dependencies

This plugin uses geolocation to track users location so vue3-geolocation plugin should be installed to:

npm i vue3-geolocation

Usage

Before starting you need a Google API key from the developer console, once you obtained your key, import the module in your application and register it as plugin:

Needed Google APIS

1. Maps Javascript API
2. Places API
3. GeoCoding API

import VueGeolocation from "vue3-geolocation";
import GMaps from "vuejs3-google-maps";

let app = createApp(App);

app.use(VueGeolocation);
app.use(GMaps, {
  load: {
    apiKey: "your-api-key",
    libraries: ["places"],
  },
});

app.mount("#app");

      // **GPS** : will trigger geolocation plugin , to find users location by GPS
