TypeScript definitions for google.maps
The @types/google.maps package provides TypeScript type definitions for the Google Maps JavaScript API. It allows developers to use the API with TypeScript by offering types for classes, interfaces, and other constructs, enabling type checking and IntelliSense support in code editors.
Map Initialization
This code initializes a new Google Map instance on the page, setting the zoom level and the center of the map.
{"const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { zoom: 4, center: { lat: -25.344, lng: 131.036 } });"}Marker Placement
This code places a marker on the map at a specified latitude and longitude, and sets a title for the marker.
{"const marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: { lat: -25.344, lng: 131.036 }, map: map, title: 'Hello World!' });"}InfoWindow
This code creates an InfoWindow with some content and attaches it to a marker, so that it opens when the marker is clicked.
{"const infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({ content: 'Uluru (Ayers Rock)' }); marker.addListener('click', function() { infowindow.open(map, marker); });"}Directions Service
This code uses the Directions Service to calculate a route from Chicago to Los Angeles and then renders it on the map.
{"const directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService(); const directionsRenderer = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer(); directionsRenderer.setMap(map); const request = { origin: 'Chicago, IL', destination: 'Los Angeles, CA', travelMode: 'DRIVING' }; directionsService.route(request, function(result, status) { if (status == 'OK') { directionsRenderer.setDirections(result); } });"}Leaflet is a leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. It's lightweight, simple, and flexible, but doesn't provide the same level of detail or satellite imagery as Google Maps.
Mapbox GL JS is a JavaScript library that uses WebGL to render interactive maps from vector tiles and Mapbox styles. It is highly customizable and powerful for complex map visualizations, but it requires a Mapbox account and usually a subscription for extensive use.
OpenLayers is an open-source JavaScript library for displaying map data in web browsers. It has a wide range of features for various map services, but it has a steeper learning curve compared to Google Maps.
