feat(GoogleMap): Add google controls integration

[labeled]

Feature Description

The google maps api has the ability to add controls the map. It would be nice to have an 'angular' way to push components into the controls api. See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/control-custom for examples.

Use Case

This would give developers capability to add buttons like location to the existing maps instead of overlaying a custom element over the map.

Hi,
is there a 'not only angular' way at the moment?

Yeah currently you create an html object using javascript and inject it into the map using something like this. map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_CENTER].push(centerControlDiv); It would be nice to use an angular component and have it used on the map instead of vanilla javascript. *Thanks,* *___________________________* *Travis Peterson* *Full Stack Developer* Altec Industries 1255 Port Terminal Dr Duluth MN, 55802 (c) 763-442-0747 (w) 218-733-1215

We need to add a Layers Manager as you have when works with Google Earth Engine Code. We did :

//Just HTML element
const containerEl = document.getElementById('containerLayers');

// Create Element (Angular Component MapLayerComponent with selector app-map-layers)
const layersElement: NgElement & WithProperties = document.createElement(
'app-map-layers'
) as any;

// Listen ChangeLayer event (when user select/ unselect a layer in the component)
layersElement.addEventListener('changeLayer', (event: any) => {
if (event.detail.action === 'SHOW') {
this.showLayer(event.detail.layer);
} else {
this.hideLayer(event.detail.layer);
}
});

    // Pass layers to the component
    layersElement.mapLayers = this.mapLayers;
    // Add to the DOM (container)
    containerEl.innerHTML = '';
    containerEl.appendChild(layersElement);
    this.mapInstance.googleMap.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_RIGHT].push(containerEl);

Hope this can help.

Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.
