<!-- ABOUT THE PROJECT -->

## About The Project

[![Product Name Screen Shot][product-screenshot]](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/styles-feature.html)

Vector Tiles Google Maps is a JavaScript library to render vector tiles in Google Maps.

The library provides funcionality to enable cache, filter features, apply styles, onclick event, mouse hover, and show/hide layers.

Further work would be to load [Mapxbox GL Styles](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/) in Google Maps.

### Built With

- [Google Maps JavaScript API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overview?)
- [Mapbox vector tiles](https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-js)
- [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf)
- JavaScript

<!-- DEMO EXAMPLES -->

## Examples

* [Basic](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/basic.html) - Basic loading vector tiles with debug enabled.
* [Cache](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/cache.html) - Cache enabled.
* [Click](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/click.html) - Click to select one or multiple features.
* [Hover](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/hover.html) - On mouse hover event.
* [Preselected features](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/preselected-features.html) - Set features as selected before loading.
* [Filter](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/filter.html) - Filter features by it properties.
* [Layers](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/layers.html) - Add remove vector tiles layers.
* [Styles](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/styles.html) - Change style dynamically.
* [Styles feature](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/styles-feature.html) - Style based on feature properties.
* [Style filter and layer](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/style-filter-layer.html) - Update the style, filter and visible layers simultaneously.
* [Point, linestring and polygon](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/point-linestring-polygon.html) - Show all type of geometries.
* [Custom draw](https://techjb.github.io/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps/examples/custom-draw.html) - Custom draw function for each feature.


<!-- INSTALATION -->

## Installation

1. Clone the repo
   ```sh
   git clone https://github.com/techjb/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps.git
   ```
2. Install NPM packages
   ```sh
   npm install
   ```
3. Get your own API Key for the [Maps JavaScript API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key) and replace it in all the provided examples
   ```html
   <script
     src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
     defer
   ></script>
   ```

<!-- USAGE EXAMPLES -->

## Usage

Create the `MVTSource` object and then insert it as a `overlayMapType`.
Provide the vector tiles server url in the options object.

```js
var options = {
  url: 'http://your_vector_tiles_url/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf'
};

var mvtSource = new MVTSource(map, options);
map.overlayMapTypes.insertAt(0, mvtSource);
```

### Recommendations

- Insert the `MVTSource` after tiles have been loaded for the first time
  to avoid duplicate invocation to `GetTile()`. It is documented in [this issue tracker](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73335429).

```js
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'tilesloaded', function () {
  map.overlayMapTypes.insertAt(0, mvtSource);
});
```

- If you need to set style based on feature property or trigger `onClick` or `onMouseHover` event,
  set the property `getIDForLayerFeature` option with the function that returns the unique id for each feature.

```js
var options = {
  getIDForLayerFeature: function (feature) {
    return feature.properties.id;
  }
};
```

- Enable cache for better performance and smooth flow.

```js
var options = {
  cache: true
};
```

- Set the `sourceMaxZoom` option to enable [overzoom](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/overzoom/).

```js
var options = {
  sourceMaxZoom: 14
};
```
