NOTE: This package has been deprecated in favor of @googlemaps/js-api-loader. The interface remains the same.

Description

NPM

Documentation

The reference documentation can be found at this link.

Example

import { Loader } from '@googlemaps/loader';

const loader = new Loader({
  apiKey: "",
  version: "weekly",
  libraries: ["places"]
});

const mapOptions = {
  center: {
    lat: 0,
    lng: 0
  },
  zoom: 4
};

Using a promise for when the script has loaded.

// Promise
loader
  .load()
  .then(() => {
    new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), mapOptions);
  })
  .catch(e => {
    // do something
  });

Alternatively, if you want to use a callback.

// Callback
loader.loadCallback(e => {
  if (e) {
    console.log(e);
  } else {
    new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), mapOptions);
  }
});
