Phpgmaps
A none CI implementation of BIOINSTALL's CodeIgniter library., (*1)
I found this library to be incredibly useful when I was working in CodeIgniter. However a little bit of work needed to be done to use it in a Laravel project. I can't take any of the credit for the actual "heavy lifting" going on in the class., (*2)
, (*3)
Installation
Add this package in your composer.json and update composer., (*4)
For Laravel 4.* use the below line. Please be aware that I only have the time to support the latest stable release of Laravel. So any future updates (features, security, or otherwise) will not be applied to the branch for laravel4 compatibility, (*5)
"bluemove/phpgmaps": "dev-master"
After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php, (*6)
'bluemove\Phpgmaps\PhpgmapsServiceProvider',
And the Facade, (*7)
'Gmaps' => 'bluemove\Phpgmaps\Facades\Phpgmaps',
Example
The following code will prompt the user for access to their geolocation and then creates a map centered on their lat/lng, (*8)
Route::get('/', function(){
$config = array();
$config['center'] = 'auto';
$config['onboundschanged'] = 'if (!centreGot) {
var mapCentre = map.getCenter();
marker_0.setOptions({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(mapCentre.lat(), mapCentre.lng())
});
}
centreGot = true;';
Gmaps::initialize($config);
// set up the marker ready for positioning
// once we know the users location
$marker = array();
Gmaps::add_marker($marker);
$map = Gmaps::create_map();
echo "<html><head><script type="text/javascript">var centreGot = false;</script>".$map['js']."</head><body>".$map['html']."</body></html>";
});
