A lightweight JavaScript library for loading the Google Maps JavaScript API
Lightweight JavaScript library that simplifies the process of adding Google Maps JavaScript API to web application.
using npm:
npm install --save google-maps-js-api-loader
or yarn:
yarn add google-maps-js-api-loader
or pnpm:
pnpm add google-maps-js-api-loader
import { GoogleMapsLoader } from 'google-maps-js-api-loader';
GoogleMapsLoader(
{
key: API_KEY,
// ...some other options
},
{ async: true }
);
if (GoogleMapsLoader.getStatus() === 'loaded') {
console.log('google.maps is ready');
}
GoogleMapsLoader.getCompletion('maps').then(({ Map }) =>
// ...do something with Map
);
const [{ Map }, { AutocompleteService }] = await GoogleMapsLoader.load(
'maps',
'places'
);
function GoogleMapsLoader(
options: GoogleMapsLoaderOptions,
scriptOptions: ScriptOptions,
callbackName?: string
): GoogleMapsLoader;
Sets options for a Google Maps JavaScript API script, options must be set before load is executed
| GoogleMapsLoaderOptions | Description |
|---|---|
| key | Your API key |
| v? | The version of the Google Maps JavaScript API to use |
| language? | The language to use. This affects the names of controls, copyright notices, driving directions, and control labels, as well as the responses to service requests. See the list of supported languages |
| region? | The region code to use. This alters the map's behavior based on a given country or territory |
| auth_referrer_policy? | Maps JS customers can configure HTTP Referrer Restrictions in the Cloud Console to limit which URLs are allowed to use a particular API Key. By default, these restrictions can be configured to allow only certain paths to use an API Key. If any URL on the same domain or origin may use the API Key, you can set "origin" to limit the amount of data sent when authorizing requests from the Google Maps JavaScript API. This is available starting in version 3.46. When this parameter is specified and HTTP Referrer Restrictions are enabled on Cloud Console, Google Maps JavaScript API will only be able to load if there is an HTTP Referrer Restriction that matches the current website's domain without a path specified |
scriptOptions - object with options for script element
callbackName - Google Maps JavaScript API load callback name, "__gmlcb" by default
static load(): Promise<void>;
static load<L extends GoogleMapsLibrary>(
library: L
): Promise<GoogleMapsLibraries[L]>;
static load<const A extends GoogleMapsLibrary[]>(
...libraries: A
): Promise<{
[Index in keyof A]: GoogleMapsLibraries[A[Index]];
}>;
