Why this fork exists

Vue Google Maps Community Fork is a repository to keep the original Vue Google Maps repository 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.

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 to get some info about the actual situation.

Changelog

You can follow the official changelog here!

Documentation

You can find a detailed documentation here. It will show you how to use every component this library contains and demonstrate some examples for you.

Also, you can enter in this discussion to talk about or read the documentation changelog.

It is in our plans to make it better and more detailed, but for now it might help you start using the library.

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.

Configure Vue to use the Components

In your main.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 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:
    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

<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.

<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.

<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.

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')
<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.

<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 for a complete list of available options.

<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 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.

In order to your Nuxt 3 project work properly with this library, you need to add vue-google-maps-community-fork to build.transpile property in your nuxt.config.ts.

Also, as pointed here, you will need to add @googlemaps/markercluster into it as well for your builded project work properly.

Here is an example:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  build: {
    transpile: ['vue-google-maps-community-fork', '@googlemaps/markercluster'],
  },
})

After that, you need to configure your plugin ~/plugin/vueGoogleMaps.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',
    },
  })
})
