marker

Version compatibility

marker was introduced in version 4.82.0 of the JourneyApps Runtime.

Overview

A marker can visually highlight a specific location on a map within either the capture-coordinates or display-coordinates UI component.

Example - Binding Multiple Markers

Below is an example of using capture-coordinates along with multiple custom markers.

main.view.xml

<var name="current_location" type="location" />
<var name="map_center" type="location" />
<var name="high_school" type="location" />
<var name="food" type="location" />

<capture-coordinates label="My Location" bind="current_location" allow-zoom="true" allow-dragging="true" >  
    <marker bind="map_center" icon="fa-user"/>
    <marker bind="high_school" icon="fa-graduation-cap" />
    <marker bind="food" icon="fa-utensils" />
</capture-coordinates>

main.js

function init() {
    view.map_center = new Location({
      latitude: 39.7562259,
      longitude: -105.0094353
    });
    view.high_school = new Location({
      latitude: 39.7553694,
      longitude: -105.0195773
    });
    view.food = new Location({
      latitude: 39.7497094,
      longitude: -105.0053815
    });
}

Below is an example of using display-coordinates along with multiple custom markers.

main.view.xml

<var name="map_center" type="location" />
<var name="high_school" type="location" />
<var name="food" type="location" />
<var name="my_location" type="location" />

<display-coordinates label="My Location" bind="map_center" allow-zoom="true" allow-dragging="true" >
    <marker bind="map_center" icon="fa-building"/>
    <marker bind="high_school" icon="fa-graduation-cap" />
    <marker bind="food" icon="fa-utensils" />
    <marker bind="my_location" icon="fa-user" />
</display-coordinates>

main.js

function init() {
    view.map_center = new Location({
      latitude: 39.7562259,
      longitude: -105.0094353
    });
    view.high_school = new Location({
      latitude: 39.7553694,
      longitude: -105.0195773
    });
    view.food = new Location({
      latitude: 39.7497094,
      longitude: -105.0053815
    });
    view.my_location = journey.hardware.getCurrentLocation();
}

Standard Attributes

`bind`

bind can be replaced with latitude and longitude.

`label`

Optional

Type: string (static text, a format string or the return value of a JS/TS function)

Default: unset

Text to display above the marker in a floating bubble. Text is displayed once a user interacts with the marker.
