It is common to encounter this error when using SlidingMarker which extends the google.maps.Marker class. In order for the GoogleMaps JavaScript API library to function properly, it needs to be loaded first. One solution is to include a reference in the index.html file:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=--KEY-GOES-HERE--"></script>
Alternatively, you can use an async JavaScript loader like scriptjs. Here is an example of loading the GoogleMaps JavaScript API and the marker-animate-unobtrusive module:
created: function(){
get("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=", () => {
const SlidingMarker = require('marker-animate-unobtrusive')
SlidingMarker.initializeGlobally()
const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), this.mapOptions);
const marker = new SlidingMarker({
position: this.mapOptions.center,
map: map,
title: 'Im sliding marker'
});
});
}
Here is a demo that you can refer to
Update
By using the vue-google-maps library, you can integrate the marker-animate-unobtrusive plugin as follows:
<template>
<div>
<GmapMap :center="center" :zoom="zoom" ref="mapRef"></GmapMap>
</div>
</template>
<script>
/* global google */
export default {
data() {
return {
zoom: 12,
center: { lat: 51.5287718, lng: -0.2416804 },
};
},
mounted: function() {
this.$refs.mapRef.$mapPromise.then(() => {
this.initSlidingMarker(this.$refs.mapRef.$mapObject)
})
},
methods: {
initSlidingMarker(map){
const SlidingMarker = require('marker-animate-unobtrusive')
SlidingMarker.initializeGlobally()
const marker = new SlidingMarker({
position: map.getCenter(),
map: map,
title: 'Im sliding marker'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', (event) => {
marker.setDuration(1000);
marker.setEasing('linear');
marker.setPosition(event.latLng);
});
}
}
}
</script>
