Enhancing the aesthetic appeal of Angular2 Google Maps

Hey there, I'm a newcomer to Angular2/Typescript and I've been working on styling a map in my Angular2 project. I integrated a map using the Angular2 Google Maps Components, but I'm having trouble with applying styles through the undocumented MapTypeStyle Interface. Can anyone guide me on how to effectively use it in both my module and the html files? The map functionality is working fine, but the styles are not being applied. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You can refer to the relevant documentation on the Google MapsTypeStyle Reference for more information.

Here's a snippet of the code for the html file:

<sebm-google-map [latitude]="lat" [longitude]="lng">
  <sebm-google-map-marker [latitude]="lat" [longitude]="lng"></sebm-google-map-marker>
</sebm-google-map>

And here’s an excerpt from the module:

export class GmapComponent implements OnInit {

  title: string = 'Current Location';
  lat: number = 50.937531;
  lng: number = 6.960278600000038;
  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }
}

After finding that the documentation was not very helpful, I decided to delve into the code for the component.

<sebm-google-map [latitude]="lat" [longitude]="lng" [styles]="styles">
  <sebm-google-map-marker [latitude]="lat" [longitude]="lng"></sebm-google-map-marker>
</sebm-google-map>

To make it work, simply add styles, where styles should be of the type MapTypeStyle[] as defined here.

You can define styles like this:

let styles = [{
  "featureType": "water",
  "stylers": [{
      "color": "#ff0000"
    }]
}];

This setup should turn your water red, although I have yet to personally test it, relying on the provided code instead.

Everything seems to be working perfectly! 😊😜

<sebm-google-map *ngIf="map" [latitude]="placeLat" [longitude]="placeLng" [scrollwheel]="false" [zoom]="zoom" [disableDefaultUI]="true" [styles]='[
            {
                elementType : "labels.icon",
                stylers : [{
                  visibility : "off"
                }]
            }]'>

After much effort, I finally came up with a solution that works. However, I'm still puzzled about the usage of the MapTypeStyle Interface.

In my HTML code, I added [styles]="customStyle".

<sebm-google-map [latitude]="lat" [longitude]="lng" [styles]="customStyle" >
  <sebm-google-map-marker [latitude]="lat" [longitude]="lng" ></sebm-google-map-marker>
</sebm-google-map>

In the component (partial snippet), I included

public customStyle = [{ "JSON style declaration goes here" }]
.

export class GmapComponent implements OnInit {

  public customStyle = [
    {
      "elementType": "geometry",
      "stylers": [
        {
          "hue": "#ff4400"
        },
        {
          "saturation": -100
        },
        {
          "lightness": -4
        },
        {
          "gamma": 0.72
        }
      ]
    },
    // More style declarations...
  ];



  title: string = 'Current Location';
  lat: number = 50.937531;
  lng: number = 6.960278600000038;

  constructor() {

  }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

}
