## Why this fork exists

Vue Google Maps Community Fork is a repository to keep the original [Vue Google Maps repository](https://github.com/fawmi/vue-google-maps) alive. The original repository is great but it wasn't maintained as the community wanted, so we decided to fork it because many of us depends on it.

We tried to contact Fawmi many times in different ways but we never got an answer. He did a great job and I'm sure we will be able to talk with him about all the situation. All we want is to keep this library alive and better and I'm sure Fawni would share the same feeling.

More info about the community decision [here](https://github.com/fawmi/vue-google-maps/issues/159).

## Welcome!

Hi! Vue Google Maps Community Fork is a communitary repository. It is a set of the most used Google Maps components made for VueJS 3.

If you are coming from Fawmi's repository please read [this discussion](https://github.com/NathanAP/vue-google-maps-community-fork/discussions/1) to get some info about the actual situation.

## Changelog

You can follow the official changelog [here](https://github.com/NathanAP/vue-google-maps-community-fork/discussions/6)!

## Documentation

For now, the original documentation is detailed in [vue-map.netlify.app](https://vue-map.netlify.app) and most of the components are still working properly.

It is in our plan to create a way for you use this package in Codesandbox or Codepen, but right now it is not possible.

## Installation

You can install this library using this command:

```
npm install vue-google-maps-community-fork
```

## Basic usage

To use this library you will need an API Key. You can learn how to get an API Key [here](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key).

### Configure Vue to use the Components

In your `main.js`

```js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import VueGoogleMaps from 'vue-google-maps-community-fork'

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

### IMPORTANT ABOUT CONFIGURATION

If you are getting a "Requested module 'fast-deep-equal' does not provide an export named 'default'" error, please notice:

- We are are aware of [this error](https://github.com/NathanAP/vue-google-maps-community-fork/issues/4) and we hope that it will be fixed soon.
- To avoid it right now, you need to do this configuration in your `vite.config.js`:

```js
    optimizeDeps: {
        include: [
            "vue-google-maps-community-fork",
            "fast-deep-equal",
        ],
    },
```

- This **WILL NOT** fix it. This is a hack, please follow the issue to keep track of the situation.

### Use it anywhere in your components

```vue
<template>
  <GMapMap :center="center" :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: 6.84212 },
    }
  },
}
</script>
```

## Components

### Markers

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

```vue
<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: 6.84212 },
      markers: [
        {
          id: 'dfsldjl3r',
          position: {
            lat: 51.093048,
            lng: 6.84212,
          },
        },
      ],
    }
  },
}
</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.

```vue
<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: 6.84212 },
      markers: [
        {
          position: {
            lat: 51.093048,
            lng: 6.84212,
          },
        }, // Along list of clusters
      ],
    }
  },
}
</script>
```

### Heatmap

If you need to add heatmap layer to the Map, add visualization library in load config and add GMapHeatmap as child of GMapMap component.

```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',
      libraries: 'visualization',
    },
  })
  .mount('#app')
```

```vue
<template>
  <GMapMap ref="myMapRef" :center="center" :zoom="zoom" style="width: 100%; height: 600px">
    <GMapHeatmap :data="heatData"></GMapHeatmap>
  </GMapMap>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  name: 'App',
  setup() {
    const center = { lat: 52.2985593, lng: 104.2455337 }
    const zoom = 12
    const myMapRef = ref()
    const heatData = ref([])

    watch(myMapRef, (googleMap) => {
      if (googleMap) {
        googleMap.$mapPromise.then((map) => {
          heatData.value = [
            { location: new google.maps.LatLng({ lat: 52.2985593, lng: 104.2455337 }) },
          ]
        })
      }
    })

    return {
      center,
      zoom,
      heatData,
      myMapRef,
    }
  },
}
</script>
```

## Access map object

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

```vue
<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](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/map#MapOptions) for a complete list of available options.

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

## More components

Many other components are also supported. Checkout [docs](https://vue-map.netlify.app) for more.

## Nuxt 3 usage

Warning: this is part of the old documentation and I never used Nuxt, please let me know if it will work properly this way.

First add `vue-google-maps-community-fork` to `build.transpile` property in your `nuxt.config.ts`.

```ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  build: {
    transpile: ['vue-google-maps-community-fork'],
  },
})
```

Then create a plugin `~/plugin/vueGoogleMaps.ts`.

```ts
import { defineNuxtPlugin } from '#app'
import VueGoogleMaps from 'vue-google-maps-community-fork'

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(VueGoogleMaps, {
    load: {
      key: 'YOUR_API_KEY_COMES_HERE',
    },
  })
})
```
