Phpgmaps

A none CI implementation of BIOINSTALL's CodeIgniter library.

Overview

I found this library to be incredibly useful when I was working in CodeIgniter. However a little bit of work needed to be done to use it in a Laravel project. I can't take any of the credit for the actual "heavy lifting" going on in the class.

Installation

  1. Include the package in your composer.json file "appitventures/phpgmaps": "dev-master",
  2. Add 'Appitventures\Phpgmaps\PhpgmapsServiceProvider', to app.config
  3. Add 'Gmaps' => 'Appitventures\Phpgmaps\Facades\Phpgmaps', to your facade list

Example

The following code will prompt the user for access to their geolocation and then creates a map centered on their lat/lng

Route::get('/', function(){
    $config = array();
    $config['center'] = 'auto';
    $config['onboundschanged'] = 'if (!centreGot) {
            var mapCentre = map.getCenter();
            marker_0.setOptions({
                position: new google.maps.LatLng(mapCentre.lat(), mapCentre.lng())
            });
        }
        centreGot = true;';
        
    Gmaps::initialize($config);

    // set up the marker ready for positioning
    // once we know the users location
    $marker = array();
    Gmaps::add_marker($marker);

    $map = Gmaps::create_map();
    echo "<html><head>".$map['js']."</head><body>".$map['html']."</body></html>";
});

More Examples

BIOINSTALL has a great website showing how to do all the things with the class. No reason to reinvent the wheel, so here it is. The only thing to note is that $this->googlemaps is now Gmaps::.
