Flutter package allows creating Google Maps markers with text labels

Motivation

In many applications we need to show some text on the map markers. This text could be computed at runtime, thus, we can't pre-embed it a marker asset. For instance, an accommodation booking app that shows the number of available hotels in an area. If you're using google_maps_flutter, this can't be achieved out-of-the-box, so this package can help.

It's best to be used with short text, like a symbol, number, or one word

>

Getting started

Add it in pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  label_google_maps_marker: ^0.0.2

Usage

LabelMarker extends Marker and exposes all it params. Additionally, it has label param where you can pass the text you want to show on the label. Other params layout, backgroundColor and textStyle are for styling.

LabelMarker(
    position: _randomLocations[i],
    label: "SomeText",
    backgroundColor: Colors.purple,
    layout: MarkerLayout.pinPoint(),
    markerId: MarkerId("$i"))

See ./example for a ready-to-paste example

Additional information

Supporting SVG markers is planned, PRs are welcome.
