Accessing Arguments in UI Events

This example creates a map that the user can click to create a marker at the clicked point.

TypeScript

function initMap(): void {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement,
    {
      zoom: 4,
      center: { lat: -25.363882, lng: 131.044922 },
    }
  );

  map.addListener("click", (e) => {
    placeMarkerAndPanTo(e.latLng, map);
  });
}

function placeMarkerAndPanTo(latLng: google.maps.LatLng, map: google.maps.Map) {
  new google.maps.Marker({
    position: latLng,
    map: map,
  });
  map.panTo(latLng);
}index.ts

JavaScript

function initMap() {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    zoom: 4,
    center: { lat: -25.363882, lng: 131.044922 },
  });
  map.addListener("click", (e) => {
    placeMarkerAndPanTo(e.latLng, map);
  });
}

function placeMarkerAndPanTo(latLng, map) {
  new google.maps.Marker({
    position: latLng,
    map: map,
  });
  map.panTo(latLng);
}
index.js

CSS

/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
       * element that contains the map. */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}

/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
