Hi,

I'm thinking about using this lib in production. However, 200+ issues is not the best introduction to a library.

Is this project still alive? Or should I consider one of the other options?

Whats your take guys?

Cheers

@xkjyeah Brother, look at the weekly npm downloads. So many projects are using this.

I would recommend you to put a bold notice above the readme for contribution. I don't understand test cases, so can't help with that. But I can help with the documentation.

@devWaleed yes i fully understand that the project is widely used. but I'll have to selfishly admit that, if I'm not using it at work, I've very little incentive to bear the pain from my RSI in order to save other projects.

Do you think you can do some documentation with VuePress?

@xkjyeah we use this repo in production on two sites. I think documentation with VuePress is a great idea. I'll get a repo started and a site up for it

Thank you for such a great response.
Trying to keep this repo community-driven is the best way to go.

imo I think it is fine you have provided us with a free service.

If you want to use this in production to generate income I think its your job to ensure your code is up to scratch not some random guy on the internet who did something for free.

imlinus commented Jan 9, 2019

@noobling For sure. I was just checking my alternatives.
I went with my own solution instead as the libraries I found wasn't up to the standards I want.
It's always my job to make sure the code I ship is up to par. That's why I reviewed this library and many others 👍

Hey 👋 Nuxt core team member here.

first of all, thanks for your work and efforts 👏

I've created an example project here with Nuxt 2 + vue2-google-maps.

Automated testing is possible too, an example can be found in any of my nuxt module repositories (eg here). I won't have the time to help with actual code though 🙁

But feel free to drop me a message via Discord (the Nuxt.js one or VueLand) if you need further help, I'm quite active there.

@manniL Thanks! I've added a link (maybe it's too nondescript?) to the README. Hopefully that helps!

Vue.js core team member @Akryum is building the same set of components. Wouldn't it be better to converge efforts in one library?

Hi, is someone actually reviewing the opened PRs or granting permissions to merge it? This project is good but it needs more work, if anyone can give me permission on this repo I am willing to do that.
Regards

granting permissions to merge

This would be a big help, if somebody trustworthy would volunteer to have higher privileges for this repo. I'd hate to see a multitude of competing forks of this project because contributors do not have simple write access.

I like to have access to review and merge PRs in this repository if you are in agreement.

Just take care on who gets the permissions we don’t want another flatmap to occur.

I use this package in my code, but you have reason @noobling. If you want, take a look on my repos. You decides.

@diegoazh I've granted npm access :)

@bezborodow

I'd prefer to see access granted to people who have contributed in the past (or who even have pull requests open) rather than strangers without any commit history for this project.

@bezborodow I would like to contribute with this project manteining it, but I don't like to be the only one. It will be great that others contributors will have access too, because other oppinions are always welcome.

Hm... alright I'll compromise -- i'll retain npm rights, but I'll let diego (or any other volunteers) accept PRs.

Does that seem reasonable?

Yes, it's right for me.

@JeremiahPinto we should consider maintaining the tools we use for @codersforcauses

Happy to throw my hat into the ring and help maintain things here.
I've used this project multiple times in the past and don't want to see it die off.

Hello, is there any good starting point for adding test cases to the project? I'm a newbie when it comes to front-end development and open-source contributing but I'm going to start using gmaps in production and it would benefit both the project and myself to start contributing.

@tstrohmeier The last commit was on February 3rd so definitely not dead.

No, but the owner did not land a new version, I don't know why 🤷

tstrohmeier commented Mar 23, 2020

@unguul Thank you, I saw the commits to but no new versions have been published as also @diegoazh pointed it out now.

I would suggest this repository is moved to an organization space so that it's not depending on one person.

Is there somewhere the WIP Docs? The repo of @beardedpayton seems to be deleted.

unguul commented Mar 23, 2020

@tstrohmeier I'm certain I saw a mention of moving this project to an org space somewhere. Maybe my memory is failing but either way, that is indeed a good idea.

Is there somewhere the WIP Docs?

The only docs I'm aware of can be found in the project readme.

Also, as @mornir mentioned, did you notice @Akryium's https://github.com/Akryum/vue-googlemaps ?

I love this freedom of open source where you can have multiple projects doing the same thing but I also feel like I'm living in an xkcd comic

Sigh...

Sorry folks. I haven't had time to work on this project. However, I've also been cautioned to not simply grant people access to the npm project (which makes sense). I've also granted @diegoazh access to master, but it makes the changes harder to track, personally, and there are some coding decisions that I wanted to keep a control on.

I'd recommend that users who have the bandwidth to maintain this project (and the tons of support questions that people ask) fork and publish their code under a different name. FWIW, this project was vue-google-maps, before I published it as vue2-google-maps on NPM, so there's precedence :).

I've not had the opportunity to use Vue as much these days, but when I return to a fast-paced rapid prototyping kind of work, I hope to see an improved version from the community! Thanks for your support.

@xkjyeah Hello, first of all thanks for making this, i completely understand your reasons to dedicate time to other things, hopefully the project can still continue with an active community.

Since you mention your company migrated to Mapbox i wanted to ask if it was possible for you to mention differences in price ease of use and potential agains google maps. Thanks!

I´m trying to save some time to contribute with the documentation (better examples)
I´ll make some PR´s as soon as possible.
This is the best maps plugin for VueJS
