README

A Laravel Nova field that uses Google Maps to update latitude/longitude model fields.

Requirements

Package supports Nova 2.x (Laravel 5.8.x), Vue 2.6.x

Installation

Install the package in to a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require jfeid/nova-google-maps

Publish the package configuration to your Laravel config directory:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jfeid\NovaGoogleMaps\FieldServiceProvider" --tag="config"

You need to type your Google Map API key in the .env file as follows:

GMAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Optionally, you can adjust the following configuration options in the .env file:

# Default latitude value when empty
GMAPS_DEFAULT_LATITUDE=
# Default longitude value when empty
GMAPS_DEFAULT_LONGITUDE=
# Default map zoom value
GMAPS_DEFAULT_ZOOM=9

Usage

Add the following to a Nova resource:

NovaGoogleMaps::make('Location')->setValue($this->location_lat, $this->location_lng)

The field requires to initialize its value using the setValue method by passing your model's lat/lng fields as parameters.

Also the field requires to know your names of the model's lat/lng fields in order to use them in POST requests. By default, the field will use the base attribute ('location' in this example) suffixed with _lat and _lng. For example:

// POST data
...
location_lat=40.2711861
location_lng=22.4755078
...

If the default naming does not work for you, you can explicitly set the attribute names for lat/lng as follows:

NovaGoogleMaps::make('Location')->setAttributes('my_latitude', 'my_longitude')
