experience-monks / google-maps-api Goto Github PK

Nothing in the documentation regarding this. I'd like to use the API version before the latest release.

Hello, I'm trying to use google-maps-api on the server-side, is It possible? If it is, how I do this correctly?

I followed the examples, but I'm getting this error:

ReferenceError: document is not defined
parse-server-test-1     at /home/parse-test/node_modules/google-maps-api/node_modules/scriptjs/dist/script.js:12:13

v3 - 3.20 have been retired by Google. Bump to 3.21.

I'm trying to migrate from JSPM to Aurelia CLI.
While working with JSPM all was good and working, but after the migration I cannot figure out how to set in the right way the reference.
Is there any version compatible with Aurelia-CLI? Or any suggestions to get it working back again?

The Google Maps API supports specifying a language for use with the API. This is great to prevent having multiple languages around a website, which happens when using a different language on the browser than the used on the website.

Problem

This library currently does not specifically support specifying parameters for the loaded script, which is used to specify a language for the script.

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap&language=ja&region=JP"></script>

I have no concrete proposition on how it should be presented in this library's API, but it looks like this would be a breaking change, unless the second parameter is type checked and an Object is used with a libraries: [] key for libraries and other keys passed (sanitized?) to the URL.

Solution

The key parameter also allows setting parameters, used mainly to allow use of enterprise accounts (See #3). Luckily, this allows us to use these keys to set a language, or any other parameters accepted on the script tag.

Instead of :

const mapsapi = require( 'google-maps-api' )( 'your api key', ... );

Use:

const mapsapi = require( 'google-maps-api' )( {key: 'your api key', language: "xx"}, ... );

Old Workaround

I'm using the fact that the libraries array is unsanitized to append my own language.

https://github.com/Jam3/google-maps-api/blob/master/index.js#L103

mapsapiLoader(GMAPS_API_KEY, ["places","&language=xx"]);

Though, this is as wrong as it can be! I would hazard, that while it is a bad idea, it would be better to keep this behaviour until an API breaking version is released.

Hi, I have an Aurelia app where I'm using the promise example from your docs to load the google-maps-api. I'm trying to figure out how to load the optional libraries, since there wasn't an example using promises. Here is what I tried

// class decorator:
@inject(mapsapi('AIzaSyDGLuTAy_zb724BrnVNWfbmUwmqC0A7rNo', ['places']))
// constructor
constructor(mapsapi) {
    let vm = this;
    let maps = mapsapi.then( function(maps) {
            vm.maps = maps;
            vm.geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
        });
    }

It works, except that it doesn't pull in the places libary. google.maps.places => undefined.

i have just follow the example section
var mapsapi = require( 'google-maps-api' )( 'api key' );

mapsapi().then( function( maps ) {

//use the google.maps object as you please
});

then

npm install google-maps-api
I got following error
