Possibility to pass custom variables to a marker

[em-ka]

Hi,
I would appreciate a possibility to set custom variables to a marker. e.g. when you want to show additional information after user clicks on an info window (you need to pass some kind of an ID, to be able to show them).

Hi @em-ka,

You should be able to do this already.

I have written a code example below:

var myMarker = null;

this.map.addMarker({
    icon: icon,
    position: new plugin.google.maps.LatLng(myLatitude, myLongitude),
}, function(marker) {
    // Set your custom properties/methods here
    marker.code = code;
    marker.name = name;
    marker.direction = direction;
    marker.alert = alertMessage;

    myMarker = marker;
});

Hi @jskidd3,
thank you very much! I've solved my issue by modifying googlemaps-cdv-plugin.js (I have added method marker.getParams()), so I can use code like this:

this.map.addMarker({
        icon: icon,
        position: new plugin.google.maps.LatLng(myLatitude, myLongitude),
        params: {
            alert: 'test'
        }
    }, function(marker) {
        alert(marker.getParams().alert);
    }
);

But yours example is much less complicated. Thank you.

@em-ka Could you submit a pull request for this because I need it too but I don't know how to reproduce your change ?

Thanks
