ng2-map

Angular2 Google Map (ng-map version 2)

• 

Design Principle

1. All google properties must be able to be defined in html without Javascript.

   Thus, basic users don't even have to know what Javascript is.

2. Expose all original Google Maps V3 api to the user without any exception.

   No hiding, nor manipulation. By doing so, programmers don't need to learnthis module. If you know Google Maps V3 API, there shouldn't be no problem using this module.

Usage

1. Install node_module ng2-map and typings

    $ npm install ng2-map @types/google-maps --save
   

2. For SystemJs users only, update system.config.js to recognize ng2-map.

    map['ng2-map'] = 'node_modules/ng2-map/dist';
    packages['ng2-map'] = { main: 'ng2-map.umd.js', defaultExtension: 'js' }
   

3. import Ng2MapeModule to your AppModule

    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { FormsModule } from "@angular/forms";
    import { BrowserModule  } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   
    import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
    import { Ng2MapModule} from 'ng2-map';
   
    @NgModule({
      imports: [BrowserModule, FormsModule, Ng2MapModule],
      declarations: [AppComponent],
      bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
    })
    export class AppModule { }
   

4. Your Google maps may require API key, then override apiUrl

    import { Component } from '@angular/core';
    import { Ng2MapComponent } from 'ng2-map';
   
    @Component({ ... })
    export class AppComponent {
   
      constructor() {
        Ng2MapComponent['apiUrl'] = 'https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
      }
    }
   

Use it in your template

<ng2-map center="Brampton, Canada"></ng2-map>

or,

<ng2-map [options]="mapOptions"></ng2-map>

For full example, please check out app directory to see the example of;

• main.ts
• and app.component.ts.

How to get instance of a map

When map is ready Ng2MapComonent fires mapReady$ event with map object

<ng2-map zoom="13" center="37.775, -122.434" mapTypeId="satellite">
</ng2-map>

In your app component,

import {Ng2MapComponent} from "ng2-map";

export class MyAppComponent {
  @ViewChild(Ng2MapComponent) ng2MapComponent: Ng2MapComponent;
  pulic map: google.maps.Map;
  ngOnInit() {
    this.ng2MapComponent.mapReady$.subscribe(map => {
      this.map = map;
    })
  }
}

How to get instance of a map object

To get it from @ViewChild instance

When any map directive is initialized, each directive fires initialized$ event with its object. For HTML like the following,

<ng2-map zoom="13" center="37.775, -122.434" mapTypeId="satellite">
  <marker position="37.775, -122.434"></marker>
</ng2-map>

In your app component, use initialized$ event of a map object component, which is a ViewChild

import {Marker} from "ng2-map";

export class MyAppComponent {
  @ViewChild(Marker) marker: Marker;
  pulic marker: google.maps.Marker;
  ngOnInit() {
    this.Maker.initialized$.subscribe(marker => {
      this.marker = marker;
    })
  }
}

To get it from a map instance

import {Ng2MapComponent} from "ng2-map";

export class MyAppComponent {
  ngOnInit() {
    this.ng2MapComponent.mapReady$.subscribe(map => {
      console.log('all markers', map.markers);
    })
  }
}
