Google Maps and DART

Question

I am new to DART. Is it possible to use Google Maps Javascript API on DART? If its not directly possible now, is there any other alternate way?

Answer 1

You can now use google_maps package available on pub. This library allows you to use Google Maps JavaScript API from dart scripts.

Simply add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  google_maps: ">=1.0.1 <2.0.0"

Include the Maps API JavaScript using a <script> tag.

<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>

Then you can use Google Maps from dart scripts. Here's a simple exemple :

import 'dart:html';
import 'package:google_maps/google_maps.dart';

void main() {
  final mapOptions = new MapOptions()
    ..zoom = 8
    ..center = new LatLng(-34.397, 150.644)
    ..mapTypeId = MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    ;
  final map = new GMap(query("#map_canvas"), mapOptions);
}
