silverstripe-googlemapfield
===========================

[](#silverstripe-googlemapfield)

*This is a SS 5 & 6 compatible fork of .*

Lets you record a precise location using latitude/longitude/zoom fields to a DataObject.

Displays a map using the Google Maps API. The user may then choose where to place the marker; the landing coordinates are then saved.

You can also search for locations using the search box, which uses the Google Maps Geocoding API.

Supports SilverStripe 6

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Minimal configuration

[](#minimal-configuration)

Given your DataObject uses the field names `Latitude` and `Longitude` for storing the latitude and longitude respectively then the following is a minimal setup to have the map show in the CMS:

```
use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;
use BetterBrief\GoogleMapField;

class Store extends DataObject
{
    private static $db = [
        'Title' => 'Varchar(255)',
        'Latitude' => 'Varchar',
        'Longitude' => 'Varchar',
    ];

    public function getCMSFields() {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFiels();

        // remove the lat / lng fields from the CMS
        $fields->removeByName([
            'Latitude',
            'Longitude'
        ]);

        // add the map field
        $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', GoogleMapField::create(
            $this,
            'Location'
        ));

        return $fields;
    }
}
```

Remember to set your API key in your site's `config.yml`

```
BetterBrief\GoogleMapField:
  api_key: '[google-api-key]'
```

or through `.env`

```
APP_GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY=[google-api-key]

```

Optional configuration
----------------------

[](#optional-configuration)

### Configuration options

[](#configuration-options)

You can either set the default options in your yaml file (see [\_config/googlemapfield.yml](_config/googlemapfield.yml)for a complete list) or at run time on each instance of the `GoogleMapField` object.

#### Setting at run time

[](#setting-at-run-time)

To set options at run time pass through an array of options (3rd construct parameter):

```
use BetterBrief\GoogleMapField;

$field = GoogleMapField::create(
    $dataObject,
    'FieldName',
    [
        'show_search_box' => false,
        'map' => [
            'zoom' => 10,
        ],
        ...
    ]
);
```

#### Customising the map appearance

[](#customising-the-map-appearance)

You can customise the map's appearance by passing through settings into the `map` key of the `$options` (shown above). The `map` settings take a literal representation of the [google.maps.MapOptions](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference?csw=1#MapOptions)

For example if we wanted to change the map type from a road map to satellite imagery we could do the following:

```
use BetterBrief\GoogleMapField;

$field = GoogleMapField::create(
    $object,
    'Location',
    [
        'map' => [
            'mapTypeId' => 'SATELLITE',
        ],
    ]
);
```

Getting an API key
==================

[](#getting-an-api-key)

Google Maps API key
-------------------

[](#google-maps-api-key)

To get a Google Maps JS API key please see [the official docs](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key)

Geocoding access - enabling the search box
------------------------------------------

[](#geocoding-access---enabling-the-search-box)

To use the search box to find locations on the map, you'll need to have enabled the Geocoding API as well. Please see [the official docs](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding#GetStarted)
