feat(google-maps): Getting google.maps.Map instance

[umernaeem217]

Added mapInitialized event which is emitted when the map is initialized and returns the map instance.

For #23703

LGTM

Apologies if this is the wrong context for this request. Is it possible to get a simple example for placing a map marker directly from within a component versus a mouse click event from the map? It is not obvious how to initialize a LatLng object from within the component; the examples pull the LatLng directly off the mouse event. thanks

You should be able to do just <map-marker [position]="{lat: <some number>, lng: <some number>}"></map-marker>.

Thanks crisbeto. I did try that example before asking my question; this aspect is straightforward. What I am unable to do is a full cycle of geocode request --> map marker. If I use the example for placing a map within the component the map appears. If I use the example for placing a map marker using the click example, this too works. I can also set a component variable to a latlng json string and that too works. However there is an async step of going to the geocoding service and successfully getting latlng and setting that value to a component variable, the map doesn't appear at all.

I am just thinking an example with this use case would be helpful. I know there is an async-related issue here but I can't quite get it working.

Well, so I did get it working just now...moments after I sent the above. So if someone would like the working example I can provide it.

Hey
Small question, will this feature (mapInitialized) be merged in the 12.2.x branch ? I see that it is available in 13.1.x but I have not yet migrated to v13...

[crisbeto]

We don't port features back to older versions.
