Richmarker Support about backbone.googlemaps HOT 3 CLOSED

I ended up modifying this plugin to support richmarkers...

from backbone.googlemaps.

One way to approach this would be to refactor the GoogleMaps.MapView class to extract a createView method, which returns a google.maps overlay instance. This method would be called in the constructor, instead of directly creating the object.

You could then extend GoogleMaps.MarkerView, overriding the createView method with your own logic for creating a RichMarker instance.

For example:

// backbone.googlemaps.js
GoolgeMaps.MapView = Backbone.View.extend({
  constructor: function(options) {
    // ...
    this.gOverlay = this._createView(overlayOptions);
    //...
  }
});

// yourApp.js
var RickMarkerView = Backbone.GoogleMaps.MarkerView.extend({
  _createView: function(options) {
    return new google.maps.RichMarker(options);
  }
});

If you want to take a shot at it, I'd be happy to review a pull request.

Closing for inactivity. I'd still be open to a pull request on this feature, if you're interested.
