Event system

event class

google.maps.event class

Namespace for all public event functions

Access by calling const {event} = await google.maps.importLibrary("core").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Static Methods
addListener	addListener(instance, eventName, handler) Parameters:  instance:  Object eventName:  string handler:  Function Return Value:  MapsEventListener Adds the given listener function to the given event name for the given object instance. Returns an identifier for this listener that can be used with removeListener().
addListenerOnce	addListenerOnce(instance, eventName, handler) Parameters:  instance:  Object eventName:  string handler:  Function Return Value:  MapsEventListener Like addListener, but the handler removes itself after handling the first event.
clearInstanceListeners	clearInstanceListeners(instance) Parameters:  instance:  Object Return Value:  void Removes all listeners for all events for the given instance.
clearListeners	clearListeners(instance, eventName) Parameters:  instance:  Object eventName:  string Return Value:  void Removes all listeners for the given event for the given instance.
hasListeners	hasListeners(instance, eventName) Parameters:  instance:  Object eventName:  string Return Value:  boolean Returns if there are listeners for the given event on the given instance. Can be used to save the computation of expensive event details.
removeListener	removeListener(listener) Parameters:  listener:  MapsEventListener Return Value:  void Removes the given listener, which should have been returned by addListener above. Equivalent to calling listener.remove().
trigger	trigger(instance, eventName, eventArgs) Parameters:  instance:  Object eventName:  string eventArgs:  ...? Return Value:  void Triggers the given event. All arguments after eventName are passed as arguments to the listeners.
addDomListener	Deprecated: google.maps.event.addDomListener() is deprecated, use the standard addEventListener() method instead. The feature will continue to work and there is no plan to decommission it. addDomListener(instance, eventName, handler[, capture]) Parameters:  instance:  Object eventName:  string handler:  Function capture:  boolean optional Return Value:  MapsEventListener Cross browser event handler registration. This listener is removed by calling removeListener(handle) for the handle that is returned by this function.
addDomListenerOnce	Deprecated: google.maps.event.addDomListenerOnce() is deprecated, use the standard addEventListener() method instead. The feature will continue to work and there is no plan to decommission it. addDomListenerOnce(instance, eventName, handler[, capture]) Parameters:  instance:  Object eventName:  string handler:  Function capture:  boolean optional Return Value:  MapsEventListener Wrapper around addDomListener that removes the listener after the first event.

MapsEventListener interface

google.maps.MapsEventListener interface

An event listener, created by google.maps.event.addListener() and friends.

Methods
remove	remove() Parameters:  None Return Value:  void Removes the listener. Calling listener.remove() is equivalent to google.maps.event.removeListener(listener).

MVCObject class

google.maps.MVCObject class

Base class implementing KVO.

The MVCObject constructor is guaranteed to be an empty function, and so you may inherit from MVCObject by writing MySubclass.prototype = new google.maps.MVCObject();. Unless otherwise noted, this is not true of other classes in the API, and inheriting from other classes in the API is not supported.

Access by calling const {MVCObject} = await google.maps.importLibrary("core").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Constructor
MVCObject	MVCObject() Parameters:  None Creates an MVCObject.

Methods
addListener	addListener(eventName, handler) Parameters:  eventName:  string handler:  Function Return Value:  MapsEventListener Adds the given listener function to the given event name. Returns an identifier for this listener that can be used with google.maps.event.removeListener.
bindTo	bindTo(key, target[, targetKey, noNotify]) Parameters:  key:  string target:  MVCObject targetKey:  string optional noNotify:  boolean optional Return Value:  None Binds a View to a Model.
get	get(key) Parameters:  key:  string Return Value:  ? Gets a value.
notify	notify(key) Parameters:  key:  string Return Value:  None Notify all observers of a change on this property. This notifies both objects that are bound to the object's property as well as the object that it is bound to.
set	set(key, value) Parameters:  key:  string value:  * Return Value:  None Sets a value.
setValues	setValues([values]) Parameters:  values:  Object optional Return Value:  None Sets a collection of key-value pairs.
unbind	unbind(key) Parameters:  key:  string Return Value:  None Removes a binding. Unbinding will set the unbound property to the current value. The object will not be notified, as the value has not changed.
unbindAll	unbindAll() Parameters:  None Return Value:  None Removes all bindings.

MVCArray class

google.maps.MVCArray<T> class

This class extends MVCObject.

Access by calling const {MVCArray} = await google.maps.importLibrary("core").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Constructor
MVCArray	MVCArray([array]) Parameters:  array:  Array<T> optional A mutable MVC Array.

Methods
clear	clear() Parameters:  None Return Value:  None Removes all elements from the array.
forEach	forEach(callback) Parameters:  callback:  function(T, number): void Return Value:  None Iterate over each element, calling the provided callback. The callback is called for each element like: callback(element, index).
getArray	getArray() Parameters:  None Return Value:  Array<T> Returns a reference to the underlying Array. Warning: if the Array is mutated, no events will be fired by this object.
getAt	getAt(i) Parameters:  i:  number Return Value:  T Returns the element at the specified index.
getLength	getLength() Parameters:  None Return Value:  number Returns the number of elements in this array.
insertAt	insertAt(i, elem) Parameters:  i:  number elem:  T Return Value:  None Inserts an element at the specified index.
pop	pop() Parameters:  None Return Value:  T Removes the last element of the array and returns that element.
push	push(elem) Parameters:  elem:  T Return Value:  number Adds one element to the end of the array and returns the new length of the array.
removeAt	removeAt(i) Parameters:  i:  number Return Value:  T Removes an element from the specified index.
setAt	setAt(i, elem) Parameters:  i:  number elem:  T Return Value:  None Sets an element at the specified index.
Inherited: addListener, bindTo, get, notify, set, setValues, unbind, unbindAll

Events
insert_at	function(index) Arguments:  index:  number This event is fired when insertAt() is called. The event passes the index that was passed to insertAt().
remove_at	function(index, removed) Arguments:  index:  number removed:  T The element removed from the array at index. This event is fired when removeAt() is called. The event passes the index that was passed to removeAt() and the element that was removed from the array.
set_at	function(index, previous) Arguments:  index:  number previous:  T The element that was previously in the array at index. This event is fired when setAt() is called. The event passes the index that was passed to setAt() and the element that was previously in the array at that index.

ErrorEvent interface

google.maps.ErrorEvent interface

An event with an associated Error.

Properties
error	Type:  Error The Error related to the event.
