Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Google Maps Launcher Plugin for iOS

Readme

MapLauncher Cordova Plugin

Installation

    cordova plugin add co.medicast.plugins.MapLauncher

Usage

This Cordova/PhoneGap plugin lets you launch into Google Maps from your app for navigation. If the user doesn't have Google Maps installed, the plugin falls back to using Apple Maps.

At the moment, the address or coordinates you provide will be used to set the destination address for navigation purposes. That's what I needed so that's what I built, but it's trivial to modify the iOS source to do a search or any other behavior that the Google Maps URL scheme supports (see [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/urlscheme]). Pull requests appreciated!

iOS 9 Security Restrictions

iOS 9 introduces some additional security which will break your ability to launch Google Maps, unless you add the following configuration to your *-Info.plist file:

<array>
    <string>comgooglemaps</string>
    <string>comgooglemaps-x-callback</string>
</array>

Launch best map available

The launch method will first try to use Google Maps, then fallback to Apple Maps:

	MapLauncher.launch("123 Main Street, Anytown USA");

You can also specify a source name and URL scheme if you want Google Maps to display a "Return to Foo App" button bar at the top of the map screen:

	MapLauncher.launch('123 Main Street, Anytown USA', 'Foo App', 'fooapp://?dosomething');

For more on how this works, check out [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/urlscheme#specify_a_callback_url].

Specific Map Launchers

There are also a few methods for anyone who wants more control:

	MapLauncher.launchGoogleMaps(...);

	MapLauncher.launchAppleMaps(...);

	MapLauncher.hasGoogleMaps(function(hasGoogleMaps) {
		console.log('Google Maps ' + (hasGoogleMaps ? 'is' + 'is not') + ' installed!');
	});

Platform Support

This plugin is designed to run on iOS 7+.

Version Requirements

This plugin works with PhoneGap 3.0.0+, iOS 7+, and recent versions of Google Maps.
