Map options

You can use the GoogleOptions class to configure your Map::

use Symfony\UX\Map\Bridge\Google\GoogleOptions;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Bridge\Google\Option\ControlPosition;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Bridge\Google\Option\FullscreenControlOptions;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Bridge\Google\Option\GestureHandling;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Bridge\Google\Option\MapTypeControlOptions;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Bridge\Google\Option\MapTypeControlStyle;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Bridge\Google\Option\StreetViewControlOptions;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Bridge\Google\Option\ZoomControlOptions;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Point;
use Symfony\UX\Map\Map;

$map = (new Map())
    ->center(new Point(48.8566, 2.3522))
    ->zoom(6);

// To configure control options and other map options:
$googleOptions = (new GoogleOptions())
    // You can skip this option if you configure "ux_map.google_maps.default_map_id"
    // in your "config/packages/ux_map.yaml".
    ->mapId('YOUR_MAP_ID') 
    
    ->gestureHandling(GestureHandling::GREEDY)
    ->backgroundColor('#f00')
    ->doubleClickZoom(true)
    ->zoomControlOptions(new ZoomControlOptions(
        position: ControlPosition::BLOCK_START_INLINE_END,
    ))
    ->mapTypeControlOptions(new MapTypeControlOptions(
        mapTypeIds: ['roadmap'],
        position: ControlPosition::INLINE_END_BLOCK_START,
        style: MapTypeControlStyle::DROPDOWN_MENU,
    ))
    ->streetViewControlOptions(new StreetViewControlOptions(
        position: ControlPosition::BLOCK_END_INLINE_START,
    ))
    ->fullscreenControlOptions(new FullscreenControlOptions(
        position: ControlPosition::INLINE_START_BLOCK_END,
    ))
;

// To disable controls:
$googleOptions = (new GoogleOptions())
    ->mapId('YOUR_MAP_ID')
    ->zoomControl(false)
    ->mapTypeControl(false)
    ->streetViewControl(false)
    ->fullscreenControl(false)
;

// Add the custom options to the map
$map->options($googleOptions);

Use cases

Below are some common or advanced use cases when using a map.

Customize the marker

A common use case is to customize the marker. You can listen to the ux:map:marker:before-create event to customize the marker before it is created.

Assuming you have a map with a custom controller:

{{ ux_map(map, {'data-controller': 'my-map' }) }}

You can create a Stimulus controller to customize the markers before they are created:

// assets/controllers/my_map_controller.js
import {Controller} from "@hotwired/stimulus";

export default class extends Controller
{
    connect() {
        this.element.addEventListener('ux:map:marker:before-create', this._onMarkerBeforeCreate);
    }

    disconnect() {
        // Always remove listeners when the controller is disconnected
        this.element.removeEventListener('ux:map:marker:before-create', this._onMarkerBeforeCreate);
    }

    _onMarkerBeforeCreate(event) {
        // You can access the marker definition and the google object
        // Note: `definition.rawOptions` is the raw options object that will be passed to the `google.maps.Marker` constructor. 
        const { definition, google } = event.detail;

        // 1. To use a custom image for the marker 
        const beachFlagImg = document.createElement("img");
        // Note: instead of using a hardcoded URL, you can use the `extra` parameter from `new Marker()` (PHP) and access it here with `definition.extra`.
        beachFlagImg.src = "https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/full/images/beachflag.png";
        definition.rawOptions =  { 
            content: beachFlagImg
        }
      
        // 2. To use a custom glyph for the marker
        const pinElement = new google.maps.marker.PinElement({
            // Note: instead of using a hardcoded URL, you can use the `extra` parameter from `new Marker()` (PHP) and access it here with `definition.extra`. 
            glyph: new URL('https://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/place_api/icons/v2/museum_pinlet.svg'), 
            glyphColor: "white",
        });
        definition.rawOptions = {
            content: pinElement.element,
        }
    }
}
