What This Plugin Exposes

• create: embedded map in a DOM element, or toBack: true for a map behind transparent HTML.
• updateLayout: resize and reposition the native map (CSS pixels).
• setCamera / fitBounds: camera and viewport control.
• addMarker / addMarkers / removeMarker: markers with tap and drag listeners.
• enableClustering: group dense marker sets.
• enableCurrentLocation: user location dot when permission allows.
• Overlays: polygons, polylines, circles, and tile layers (varies by platform).

Example Usage

Embedded map

import { NativeMap } from '@capgo/capacitor-native-map';

const map = await NativeMap.create({
  id: 'main-map',
  element: document.getElementById('map')!,
  apiKey: 'YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY',
  config: {
    center: { lat: 37.7749, lng: -122.4194 },
    zoom: 12,
  },
});

map.setOnMapClickListener((e) => console.log(e.latitude, e.longitude));

// In a framework component, call `await map.destroy()` from your teardown/cleanup hook.

Background map with HTML UI

const map = await NativeMap.create({
  id: 'stores-map',
  toBack: true,
  apiKey: 'YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY',
  config: {
    center: { lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.006 },
    zoom: 11,
    x: 0,
    y: 0,
    width: window.innerWidth,
    height: window.innerHeight,
  },
});

await map.updateLayout({
  x: 0,
  y: 0,
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight,
});

Wrap HUD sections with data-map-overlay (see getting started) so the overlay CSS enables taps; transparent areas pass gestures to the map.
