I was able to add the marker cluster in this format inside of the index.html.erb file. When I decided to add infowindows that is when my map started to break.
<script type = "text/javascript">
handler = Gmaps.build('Google',
{markers:
{clusterer: {
gridSize: 60,
maxZoom: 20,
styles: [ {
textSize: 10,
textColor: '#ff0000',
url: 'assets/creative/m1.png',
height: 60,
width: 60 }
, {
textSize: 14,
textColor: '#ffff00',
url:'assets/creative/m2.png',
height: 60,
width: 60 }
, {
textSize: 18,
textColor: '#0000ff',
url: 'assets/creative/m3.png',
width: 60,
height: 60}
]}}}
);
handler.buildMap({ provider: {}, internal: {id: 'map'}}, function(){
markers = handler.addMarkers(<%=raw @hash.to_json %>);
handler.bounds.extendWith(markers);
handler.fitMapToBounds();
});
When I add infowindows to my web app under my custom.js.coffee file as
class InfoBoxBuilder extends Gmaps.Google.Builders.Marker
create_infowindow: ->
return null unless _.isString @args.infowindow
boxText = document.createElement("div")
boxText.setAttribute('class', 'panel panel-green')
boxText.innerHTML = @args.infowindow
@infowindow = new InfoBox(@infobox(boxText))
infobox: (boxText)->
content: boxText
pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(-140, 0)
boxStyle:
width: "280px"
@buildMap = (markers)->
handler = Gmaps.build 'Google', { builders: { Marker: InfoBoxBuilder}
}
handler = Gmaps.build 'Google', { builders: { markers:
{clusterer: {
gridSize: 60,
maxZoom: 20,
styles: [ {
textSize: 10,
textColor: '#ff0000',
url: 'assets/creative/m1.png',
height: 60,
width: 60 }
, {
textSize: 14,
textColor: '#ffff00',
url:'assets/creative/m2.png',
height: 60,
width: 60 }
, {
textSize: 18,
textColor: '#0000ff',
url: 'assets/creative/m3.png',
width: 60,
height: 60}
]}}} } #dependency injection
handler.buildMap { provider: {}, internal: {id: 'map'} }, ->
markers = handler.addMarkers(markers)
handler.bounds.extendWith(markers)
handler.fitMapToBounds()
I get the marker cluster working but I lose the infowindow formatting. How do I inject the infowwindow and the marker cluster code into the custom.coffee.js file.
I finally figured it out. I first converted the infobox builder from coffeescript to plain old vanilla javascript and then after the first dependency injection I added the marker cluster dependency. I added the following code to the view.
var InfoBoxBuilder, handler,
extend = function(child, parent) { for (var key in parent) { if (hasProp.call(parent, key)) child[key] = parent[key]; } function ctor() { this.constructor = child; } ctor.prototype = parent.prototype; child.prototype = new ctor(); child.__super__ = parent.prototype; return child; },
hasProp = {}.hasOwnProperty;
InfoBoxBuilder = (function(superClass) {
extend(InfoBoxBuilder, superClass);
function InfoBoxBuilder() {
return InfoBoxBuilder.__super__.constructor.apply(this, arguments);
}
InfoBoxBuilder.prototype.create_infowindow = function() {
var boxText;
if (!_.isString(this.args.infowindow)) {
return null;
}
boxText = document.createElement("div");
boxText.setAttribute('class', 'panel panel-green');
boxText.innerHTML = this.args.infowindow;
return this.infowindow = new InfoBox(this.infobox(boxText));
};
InfoBoxBuilder.prototype.infobox = function(boxText) {
return {
content: boxText,
pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(-140, 0),
boxStyle: {
width: "280px"
}
};
};
return InfoBoxBuilder;
})(Gmaps.Google.Builders.Marker);
handler = Gmaps.build('Google', {
builders: {
Marker: InfoBoxBuilder
},
markers:
{clusterer: {
gridSize: 60,
maxZoom: 20,
styles: [ {
textSize: 10,
textColor: '#ff0000',
url: 'assets/creative/m1.png',
height: 60,
width: 60 }
, {
textSize: 14,
textColor: '#ffff00',
url:'assets/creative/m2.png',
height: 60,
width: 60 }
, {
textSize: 18,
textColor: '#0000ff',
url: 'assets/creative/m3.png',
width: 60,
height: 60}
]}}
});
handler.buildMap({ provider: {}, internal: {id: 'map'}}, function(){
markers = handler.addMarkers(<%=raw @hash.to_json %>);
handler.bounds.extendWith(markers);
handler.fitMapToBounds();
});
Now I can have both marker clusters and a custom infowindow for each of my locations.
