Google Documentation

Requirements

1. Vue 2.X.X

Usage

1. Install from npm

   npm install vue-static-map
   

   Or include in your html using the script tag

   <script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-static-map/dist/StaticMap.umd.min.js"></script>
   

2. Add component in your app

   import StaticMap from 'vue-static-map';
   // or require('vue-static-map')
   // or window.StaticMap if you are including in a script tag
   
   export default {
   	components: {
   		StaticMap,
   	},
   };
   

3. Create some parameters in your data object

   export default {
   	data: {
   		apiKey: 'YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY', // required
   		zoom: 13, // required
   		center: 'Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY',
   		format: 'gif',
   		language: 'ja',
   		markers: [
   			{
   				label: 'B',
   				color: 'blue',
   				lat: 40.702147,
   				lng: -74.015794,
   				size: 'normal',
   			},
   			{
   				label: 'Y',
   				color: 'yellow',
   				lat: 40.711614,
   				lng: -74.012318,
   				size: 'tiny',
   			},
   			{
   				label: 'G',
   				color: 'green',
   				lat: 40.718217,
   				lng: -74.015794,
   				size: 'small',
   				icon: 'http://www.airsoftmap.net/images/pin_map.png',
   			},
   		],
   		paths: [
   			{
   				color: 'blue',
   				weight: 8,
   				geodesic: false,
   				fillcolor: '0xFFFF0033',
   				locations: [
   					{ startLat: 40.737102, endLng: -73.990318 },
   					{ startLat: 40.749825, endLng: -73.987963 },
   					{ startLat: 40.752946, endLng: -73.987384 },
   					{ startLat: 40.762946, endLng: -73.997399 },
   				],
   			},
   		],
   		type: 'roadmap',
   		size: [800, 400],
   	},
   	components: {
   		StaticMap,
   	},
   };
   

4. In your template just call the static map component

   <static-map :google-api-key="apiKey" :format="format" :markers="markers" :zoom="zoom" :center="center" :size="size" :type="type" :paths="paths" :language="language"></static-map>
   

Events

1. What about if you want the URL of the map, you can easily do that using the getUrl event

   function getUrl(url) {
   	this.url = url;
   }
   
   export default {
   	data: () => {
   		const dataValues = {
   			apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
   			center: 'Empire State Building',
   			url: '',
   			zoom: 13,
   		};
   		return dataValues;
   	},
   	name: 'app',
   	components: {
   		StaticMap,
   	},
   	methods: {
   		getUrl,
   	},
   };
   

2. Add the event on your template

   <static-map :google-api-key="apiKey" v-on:get-url="getUrl" :zoom="zoom" :center="center"></static-map>
