I wanted to automatically center the map to the user's location once loaded so I used $scope.$apply()
once geolocation is loaded as seen in my TestCtrl
in controller.js
here:
$scope.drawMap = function(position) {
$scope.$apply(function() {
$scope.myLocation.lng = position.coords.longitude;
$scope.myLocation.lat = position.coords.latitude;
$scope.map = {
center: {
latitude: $scope.myLocation.lat,
longitude: $scope.myLocation.lng
},
zoom: 14,
events: {
click: $scope.clickCallback
}
};
});
};
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition($scope.drawMap);
$scope.test = function(){
alert("hola");
};
The $scope.clickCallback
is used to push new markers to the map on click event.
// inside TestCtrl
var markers = [], counter = 1;
$scope.clickCallback = function(map, eventName, event){
var lat = event[0].latLng.lat();
var lng = event[0].latLng.lng();
markers.push(createNewMarker(counter, lat, lng));
$scope.$apply(function(){
$scope.newMarker = markers;
});
counter++;
};
As you can see, there's another $scope.$apply
there to apply the new marker/s.
The createNewMarker()
is where the markers (ui-gmap-markers) models is defined.
// still inside TestCtrl
var createNewMarker = function(i, lat, lng, idKey) {
if (idKey == null) {
idKey = "id";
}
var foo = "<h4>New Marker</h4><form><input type='text' placeholder='Event name' name='name'></input> <input type='button' value='submit'></input><input type='button' ng-click='test()' value='Delete marker'></input></form>";
var bar = $compile(foo)($scope);
var ret = {
latitude: lat,
longitude: lng,
show: true,
options: {
draggable: true,
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
},
windows: {
title: "New Marker",
},
windowsOptions: {
content: foo,
}
};
ret[idKey] = i;
return ret;
};
Now the marker is showing fine when I click on the map including the window, but when I click on the Delete marker
button, my $scope.test()
function isn't firing up. I tried using $compile
but it returns a bunch of error about $scope
.
Here's my template:
<ion-content scroll="false">
<ui-gmap-google-map center='map.center' zoom='map.zoom' bounds="map.bounds" events="map.events">
<ui-gmap-markers models="newMarker" coords="'self'" icon="'icon'" options="'options'">
<ui-gmap-windows show="show" options="'windowsOptions'">
</ui-gmap-windows>
</ui-gmap-markers>
</ui-gmap-google-map>
</ion-content>
Anyone familiar with this scenario? I'm using Ionic Framework btw.
It does not have to be this complex.
As a creator of ngMap, I would recommend this,
http://ngmap.github.io/drawings.html#/marker-remove#marker-remove
To set the current location, just use current-location
<map center="current-location" zoom="12" on-click="addMarker()">
<marker ng-repeat="pos in positions" position="{{pos.lat}}, {{pos.lng}}"></marker>
</map>
