gmaps.layers
gmaps.js module to add dynamic layers.
Install
For using with bundlers (as Browserify or Webpack):
npm install gmaps.layers --save
Before require() this module you need to require('gmaps.core').
For using directly in the browser, download the gmaps.layers.js (or gmaps.layers.min.js) in dist.
Usage
You need to register a <script> tag with the Google Maps JavaScript API, then import gmaps.core.
Every Google Maps map needs a container (<div id="map"></div> in this demo), which needs to have width and height, and be visible (without display: none, for example):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
<script src="gmaps.core.js"></script>
<script src="gmaps.layers.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
#map {
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
var map = new GMaps({
el : '#map',
lat: -12.0433,
lng: -77.0283,
zoom: 12
});
map.addLayer('traffic');
</script>
</body>
</html>For more examples you can check the tests in this repo.
