VueJS：谷歌地图在数据准备好之前加载 - 如何让它等待？ （Nuxt）

Question

This is my first VueJS project and I've got vue2-google-maps up and running but I've come across an issue when I attempt to connect the map markers to my site's JSON feed (using the Wordpress REST API), the Lat and Lng values are returning undefined or NaN .

On further investigation (thanks to @QuỳnhNguyễn below) it seems like the Google Maps instance is being run before the data is ready. I have tried watching for the feed to be loaded before initialising the map, but it doesn't seem to work.

The marker locations are pulled in from the WordPress REST API using JSON and exist in an array (locations). The array is present and populated in Vue Dev Tools (51 records), but when checking on mounted , the array is empty. The data is pulled in at the created stage, so I don't know why it wouldn't be ready by the mounted stage.

The code in question is as below...

Template:

<template>
    <gmap-map v-if="feedLoaded" ref="map" :center="center" :zoom="zoom" :map-type-id="mapTypeId" :options="options">
        <gmap-marker 
            :key="index" v-for="(m, index) in locations" 
            :position="{ lat: parseFloat(m.place_latitude), lng: parseFloat(m.place_longitude) }" 
            @click="toggleInfoWindow(m,index)" 
            :icon="mapIconDestination">
        </gmap-marker>
        <gmap-info-window></gmap-info-window>
    </gmap-map>
</template>

Script

<script>
    const axios = require('axios');
    const feedURL = "API_REF";

    export default {
        props: {
            centerRef: {
                type: Object,
                default: function() {
                    return { lat: -20.646378400026226, lng: 116.80669825605469 }
                }
            },
            zoomVal: {

                locations: [],
                markers: []
            }
        },
        created: function() {
            this.getData();
        },

            this.$nextTick(() => {
                this.$refs.karrathaMap.$mapPromise.then((map) => {
                    var styledMapType = new google.maps.StyledMapType(
                        [...MAP_STYLE SETTINGS...]
                    )
                    map.mapTypes.set('styled_map', styledMapType);
                    map.setMapTypeId('styled_map');

                })

            });
        },
        watch: {
            feedLoaded: function() {
                if (this.feedLoaded == true) {
                    console.log(JSON.stringify(this.locations))
                }
            }
        },
        methods: {
            getData() {
                const url = feedURL;
                axios
                    .get(url)
                    .then((response) => {this.locations = response.data;})
                    .then(this.feedLoaded = true)
                    .catch( error => { console.log(error); }
                );
            }
        }
    }
</script>

Answer 1

It turns out the issue was dirty data.

The JSON response was including locations that were not supposed to be included on the map, so it failed every time it came across an entry that didn't include the ACF fields, despite me setting the feed to only return data where include on map was true.

I have solved the issue by handling the data once the feed is loaded and creating a new array (markers) from it using the valid data, then using this, rather than the original (locations) array to place the markers on the map.

Cleaning the data:

watch: {
    feedLoaded: function() {
        if (this.feedLoaded == true) {

            var LocationList = this.locations;

            for (var i = 0; i < LocationList.length; i++) {
                var includeOnMap = LocationList[i].acf['place_include-on-map'];

                if (includeOnMap === true) {
                    var placeName = LocationList[i].title.rendered;
                    var placeDescription = LocationList[i].acf['place_short-description'];
                    var placeLatitude = LocationList[i].acf['place_latitude'];
                    var placeLongitude = LocationList[i].acf['place_longitude'];
                    var placeIcon = this.mapIconDestination;

                    this.markers.push({ name: placeName, lat: placeLatitude, lng: placeLongitude, icon: placeIcon });
                }

            }
        }
    }
}

Then, the gmap component :

<gmap-map ref="karrathaMap" :center="center" :zoom="zoom" :map-type-id="mapTypeId" :options="options">
    <gmap-marker v-if="feedLoaded == true" :key="index" v-for="(m, index) in markers" :position="{ lat: parseFloat(m.lat), lng: parseFloat(m.lng) }" @click="toggleInfoWindow(m,index)" :icon="m.icon"></gmap-marker>
    <gmap-info-window></gmap-info-window>
</gmap-map>

Thank you everybody who contributed to helping me get to the bottom of the issue. I will now spend some time rethinking how the data is structured.

Answer 2

It appears to be related with data format. According to vue-devtools from provided screenshot your data is returned from WordPress REST API in the following format:

[
  {
    "acf": {
      "place_latitude": "-22.695754",
      "place_longitude": "118.269081",
      "place_short-description": "Karijini National Park"
    },
    "id": 12,
    "parent": 10,
    "title": {
      "rendered": "Karijini National Park"
    }
  },
  ... 
]

Having how locations array is getting initialized ( getData method), position property could be passed like this:

<gmap-marker
    :key="index"
    v-for="(m, index) in locations"
    :position="{ lat: parseFloat(m.acf.place_latitude), lng: parseFloat(m.acf.place_longitude) }"
></gmap-marker>

Here is a demo

vuejs supports v-if directive on elements. I recommend you try as following code snippet.

<template>
  <div id="map" v-if="loaded">
    <gmap-map ref="map" :center="center" :zoom="zoom" :map-type-id="mapTypeId" :options="options">
      <gmap-marker
        :key="index" v-for="(m, index) in locations"
        :position="{ lat: parseFloat(m.place_latitude), lng: parseFloat(m.place_longitude) }"
        @click="toggleInfoWindow(m,index)"
        :icon="mapIconDestination">
      </gmap-marker>
      <gmap-info-window></gmap-info-window>
    </gmap-map>
  </div>
</template>


<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        loaded: false
      }
    },
    beforeMount: function () {
      const url = feedURL;
      axios
        .get(url)
        .then((response) => {
          this.locations = response.data;
          //activate element after api call response recieved
          this.loaded = true
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.log(error);
          }
        );
    }
  }

</script>
