Is there any way that I could show multiple directions on the map? Like from point A1 to point B1 then there is another direction where point A2 to point B2. Something like that.
Google map is inserted in a web-application using frontend javascript.
Laravel is php framework.
So these are not directly related. You might want to for example have the coordinates of each location stored in a database. In that case you might use a framework like Laravel to retrieve this data.
You would still have to place and configure the google map using javascript and html.
What you want to do is definitely possible. You can take a look at this question for more information.
Multiple routes on google maps V3 javascript
Google has an extensive documentation which you can use to completely customise google map according to your wishes as a developer. If you want to find out more take a look at the documentation.

I want to use a chart package to create a chart using real time data from my database. I tried a package.The link i am providing bellow.But i am not successful.Can anyone provide me a full tutorial about this ?
https://charts.erik.cat/getting_started.html#screenshots
If you want to use charts in your laravel app, I believe you will need to do this in blade view (frontend)
Here are very good JS chat libraries with good documentation
I am currently using
https://www.chartjs.org/
Another good one
http://morrisjs.github.io/morris.js/
Chart solely for laravel http://lavacharts.com
Check these examples on adminlte
https://adminlte.io/themes/AdminLTE/pages/charts/chartjs.html
Another thing, you will need to learn how to use their API. This is universal, everyone has to learn. However, there are a lot of examples you could extract and use as a baseline.
Hope This helped you.
What is the best way to implement google map on laravel? I looked up for some packages and dont know what to use. And I found some js like gmaps.js. The features that I want to achieve are these:
1. Location of the user
2. Search for a location and then set a marker for that
3. Directions/Routes
4. Map styles/Design
5.
I suggest to use javascript google map api if thire not famailer with you then you can use laraval package lots of available on packagist
We are a site that would like to show the different areas on a map where recycling bins that are associated with our company are located based on your zip code. since we cant host it on our html4 site i wanted to use maybe an external link?
let me know if anyone can help explain this to me :) or if there is a better way to do this!
Thanks!
It sounds like you would like to create a shareable map as a reference for the locations of recycling bins. I would recommend using Google Maps.
At https://www.google.com/maps/d/, you can create your own maps. There are multiple ways to add your data to the map. They let you draw, drop pins, or upload spreadsheet data. You can read more about adding your data at their help page.
Once you've created a map, you can embed it on your website or simply add the link to your page.
I would like to build a chrome extension (CE) that pulls data from a ruby db for a specific user. So, in a basic example, if an user submits their favorite color as 'red' and sport as 'tennis' into the db from the core website, when they click the CE, 'red' and 'tennis' will show up no matter where they are on the internet.
Any guidance on how to build something like this? Seems quite simple but am not sure how the CE files fit in with the ruby folder framework.
Also, is it possible to write to a ruby database from a popped out CE? i.e. - submitting 'red' and 'tennis' from the CE to the ruby database to go along with the previous example. Any guidance?
Cheers
This is a very general question so it sounds like you will need to learn a lot. Which can be a good thing :)
Here are the general steps you need:
Look into building an API for your ruby application. This will allow you to get data from your database. For example, you can
make an app where you go to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites and that will return a list of all favorites as JSON. Then in your Chrome Extension you can parse the JSON and display the results to the user. You will probably want to do this using an ajax call (see jquery.ajax for an easy way to use ajax).
Assuming you want user accounts, your user will need to be logged in. Then you can use your user's cookies to verify that they are logged in and show them custom info. i.e. going to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites will just show the favorites for that user, not for everyone.
Finally, submitting things to the database...you can have another route where users can send stuff. For example, if you go to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites/add?color=red then it will add the color red to that user's favorites. You will need to write all the logic for adding stuff to the database...again, it might help you to go through a rails tutorial and then look at building an API.
Related to #3, look into RESTful APIs. A good convention is that if you issue a GET request, you're asking for data, but if you issue a POST request, you are adding data (in your case, creating a new favorite).
Finally, for terminology: it's not a "ruby" database, it's just a database. You can access a database using almost any language, and it sounds like you are accessing it using ruby right now :)
If you only need to store data for one machine browsing anywhere online, chrome has a storage api that would work great.
If you do need a ruby server, I would recommend looking at sinatra.
How to get started with CodeIgniter and Google Maps API.
I've got a CodeIgniter library specifically for this purpose. You can find more information about it here:
http://biostall.com/codeigniter-google-maps-v3-api-library
A few demos of what can be acheived using the library:
http://biostall.com/demos/google-maps-v3-api-codeigniter-library/
Give me a shout if you have any questions or need any help :)
Enjoy!
CodeIgniter is a backend (server-side) framework. Google Maps API is a frontend (client-side) library. There isn't really any specialized knowledge you need to know about CodeIgniter to get Google Maps working, other than being able to render a view. The question is somewhat flawed in that you assume one depends on the other, when in reality, they are very much decoupled.
The question is similar to how do i get jquery working with codeigniter?...
Reading the CodeIgniter documentation would be a start to understanding how to echo HTML and JavaScript to the browser. The rest is almost entirely client-side JavaScript programming.
