A TypeScript-typed and runtime-validated Google Maps Platform API. The requests and responses are validated using Zod and based on the OpenAPI specification.

⚠ Warning: This library is for server-side applications only. Do not use it for client-side applications to prevent your API key from leaking — use one of the client-side libraries instead.

The current list of supported APIs:

• Directions API
• Distance Matrix API
• Elevation API
• Geocoding API
• Geolocation API
• Places API
• Roads API
• Street View API
• Time Zone API

pnpm add @vbudovski/google-maps

Install the dependencies:

nvm use
pnpm install

Copy the sample environment variables file env.sample to .env and set the required variables. GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY must be set in order to run the tests.

pnpm build

pnpm test

When a new version of the OpenAPI schema is released, it is necessary to re-generate the schemas and expose the exports for use.

1. Generate the new Zod schemas and fetch functions:

   pnpm generate

2. Export the new functions from a module in src/api. Be sure to follow existing patterns.

3. Add a test module in src/test. The name should match that of the API export module.
