[For beginners] How to display maps and search boxes using the GoogleMap Javascript API
How to add a map on your app using the googlemap API.
Basically, it can be realized by writing [Official document] 1 ~~ along copy and paste ~~, but I am a Javascript beginner and it took a long time to decipher, so I will start the same thing I'll share it for you.
What you can do
･ Map display
･ Display of search box
･ Map and search box decoration
With a little modification,
It can also be decorated.
procedure
- Describe the id in the html file where you want to place the map
- Describe the Web API in the javascript file
- Play with CSS to decorate the map
only this.
Step 1: Write the id in the html file where you want to place the map
The following is a quote from [Official Document] 1. The point is to describe libraries = places in the API call script. This allows you to load the library that switches the screen to the search & search position.
sample.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Places Search Box</title>
<script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=default"></script>
#"Key=YOUR_Describe the acquired API key in the "API" part
#Since we will add a search function this time, we will use the Places library, so "libraries"=places ”added
#"V="Weekly" indicates the update frequency of the map itself. If nothing is described, it will be updated once a quarter, and with this description, it will be updated weekly to keep it up to date, so you do not need to describe it separately.
<script
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initAutocomplete&libraries=places&v=weekly"
defer
></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />
<script src="./index.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
#Display the map with javascript at the id specified here.
<input
id="pac-input"
class="controls"
type="text"
placeholder="Search Box"
/>
<div id="map"></div>
</body>
</html>
If you open the browser in this state, you will find only a search box. Let's go to the next.
Step 2: Write the Web API in the javascript file
The following is also a quote from [Official Document] 1, but it took time to find out where the description came from one by one. ..
For beginners, I would like to briefly explain the description of js. const ~~ defines a constant "~~" there. function ~~ is a function. google.maps is an object that specifies the map itself.
index.js
function initAutocomplete() {
//This is the default setting of the map.
const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
center: { lat: -33.8688, lng: 151.2195 },
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: "roadmap",
});
const input = document.getElementById("pac-input");
const searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input);
////"SearchBox class"Is a method of the Places library. Argument is input(There is an inputField on the document)。

places.forEach((place) => {

You should now see the map and search box.
Feel free to play with css to your liking.
If you write a constant or function with the same name separately, it will not work well. Please check in case of an error.
Step 3: Play with CSS to decorate your map
If you leave step 2, the search box will be in an unsophisticated position, so decorate the box.
of js file
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_LEFT].push(input);
The position of the search box has been placed in TOP_LEFT with.
Since javascript is loaded after reading css, It will be specified by overwriting the description of css.
Delete this line and decorate the id and class of the input tag with CSS as you like.
Play map style with snazzy
This site called [snazzy] [4] allows you to edit intuitively as you like. The style selected or edited here can copy JSON data, so you can edit the style as you like by pasting it into JS as it is.
Just playing with snazzy is fun, so please take a look. [4]:https://snazzymaps.com/editor/customize/21
By the way, the purple map style pasted at the beginning of the article is as follows.
input.js
const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), opts);
var opts = {
zoom: 15,
center: { lat: -33.8688, lng: 151.2195 },
styles: [
//Hide all labels
{
featureType: 'all',
elementType: 'labels',
stylers: [
{visibility: 'off'},
],
},
{
featureType: 'transit',
elementType: 'labels',
stylers: [
{visibility: 'on'},
],
},
//poi=Redisplay only the "Sightseeing spots, facilities, etc." icon
{
featureType: 'poi',
elementType: 'labels.icon',
stylers: [
{visibility: 'inherit'},
],
},
//Customize the color of the entire map
//Unify the basic color to red+Desaturate
{
featureType: 'all',
elementType: 'all',
stylers: [
{hue: '#5f0285'},
{saturation : -50},
],
}
]
that's all. If it doesn't work, please follow the official documentation.
