Add MarkerClusterer to google-maps.

[Tsar09]

Add support of MarkerClusterer to google-maps.

[mbehrlich]

This feature is definitely one that I'd like to implement. The main issue is addressing loading the separate marker clusterer library and see if there are types we can use, perhaps with DefinitelyTyped.

But it it's something I'd like to do in the future.

[Akxe]

The google clustering library is now written in TS.

I would like to see a better solution. As I see Angular, it is best used for applications and in an application, I would see much more appropriate to be able to change the look of clusters.

Something like solution bellow might be the best

<google-map>
  <map-html-marker *mapMarkerClusterer="let cluster of allMarkers"></map-html-marker>
</google-map>

Hello @mbehrlich,

It may help you : https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/commits/master/types/google__markerclustererplus

[runette]

I have MarkerClusterPlus implemented and working in an Angular 9 project. It is not hard, just

import {MarkerClustererOptions} from '@google/markerclustererplus';
import MarkerClusterer from '@google/markerclustererplus';

But, the main problem is that it takes a google.maps.Marker type and returns this type in an event, which makes it a bit of a pain to use the @angular/google-maps InfoWindow - since that takes a MapMarker type. It would be good to see MarkerClustererPlus integrated into @angular/google-maps just to solve that problem - as long as we don't lose anything else of course.

Hi guys!
I built my own Component normally. Although I have to inject the inputs and outputs at the base of the application.

@emiliojva

Thank you for your Code.

In the map-marker Element you iterate cluster.unidades. Where does this come from?

Thanks, Arndt

[anna0312]

Is there any update on adding this as a feature to google-maps? This would be terrific!
Thanks!!

[emiliojva]

@emiliojva

Thank you for your Code.

In the map-marker Element you iterate cluster.unidades. Where does this come from?

Thanks, Arndt

I'm sorry for the delay in responding. 'cluster is just a variable that makes reference to an' array 'of 'unidades'(units in Portuguese) that I return from my api

[ybarbaria]

Any news about this feature ?

[Ajax-ua]

Is it at least in the nearest future plans?
