I'm trying to migrate my custom map markers to the new advanced marker library, seems the animation options is no more available, it give me this error:
Unknown property 'animation' of AdvancedMarkerElement
I checked the documentation and the animation options is still there but nothing is mentioned about how to migrate the animation option.
newMarker = new google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement({
position: markerOpposto,
map: map,
content: imageIcon,
title: "New position",
animation: google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE
})
First thing that we need to understand about Advanced Marker is that it is no longer an MVC Object unlike the Legacy Markers. The Animation constants
(BOUNCE
and DROP
) that existed on the Legacy Marker are no longer available.
That is because, as per the documentation, the Advanced Marker class now extends HTMLElement
. This means that to animate the Advanced Marker, you should use CSS animation now to be able to do so as presented in their Advanced Marker sample here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/advanced-markers-animation
With that said, to reproduce a somewhat similar bounce animation, you first need to define a .bounce
(You can name this whatever you want) class inside your CSS using keyframes and transform:
.bounce {
animation: bounce 2s infinite;
-webkit-animation: bounce 2s infinite;
-moz-animation: bounce 2s infinite;
-o-animation: bounce 2s infinite;
}
@-webkit-keyframes bounce {
0%, 20%, 50%, 80%, 100% {-webkit-transform: translateY(0);}
40% {-webkit-transform: translateY(-30px);}
60% {-webkit-transform: translateY(-15px);}
}
@-moz-keyframes bounce {
0%, 20%, 50%, 80%, 100% {-moz-transform: translateY(0);}
40% {-moz-transform: translateY(-30px);}
60% {-moz-transform: translateY(-15px);}
}
@-o-keyframes bounce {
0%, 20%, 50%, 80%, 100% {-o-transform: translateY(0);}
40% {-o-transform: translateY(-30px);}
60% {-o-transform: translateY(-15px);}
}
@keyframes bounce {
0%, 20%, 50%, 80%, 100% {transform: translateY(0);}
40% {transform: translateY(-30px);}
60% {transform: translateY(-15px);}
}
Then inside your map initialization function, you can just add the class .bounce
to your marker element by using this code:
marker.content.classList.add("bounce")
Then the animation should work.
Here's a proof of concept snippet for you to check:
