Google Maps JavaScript MarkerWithLabel

Description

The library provides Markers with labels for Google Maps Platform.

Note: This library is the nearly the same interface as the existing library @google/markerwithlabel, but renamed and in its own repository. All future development will continue here.

Note: There are some breaking changes from @google/markerwithlabel including anchor position. This should be considered a major version bump!

Install

Available via npm as the package @googlemaps/markerwithlabel.

npm i @googlemaps/markerwithlabel

or

yarn add @googlemaps/markerwithlabel

Alternatively you may add the umd package directly to the html document using the unpkg link.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@googlemaps/markerwithlabel/dist/index.min.js"></script>

When adding via unpkg, the marker with labels can be accessed at new markerWithLabel.MarkerWithLabel().

A version can be specified by using https://unpkg.com/@googlemaps/markerwithlabel@VERSION/dist/....
