ABANDONED 2019?

[wilfredonoyola]

Hey guys and Owner..

Is this project still maintained?

Let me know,

Thanks

@wilfredonoyola hi Wilfredo, I'm afraid gmaps has been abandoned. Sorry about that.

For the past 2 years I hadn't time to keep maintaining this library, and I couldn't find anyone that wants to continue the project.

Now I'm in a better position and have more free time, so maybe I'll try to resume the work here, but I can't give you a date.

[wilfredonoyola]

Sounds goods!! I think that this project is using for many real projects. Maybe I will help a little later.

[wilfredonoyola]

Let me know if you will have a plan soon and I could help for this project.

[hpneo]

Sure! Thanks for your interest.

@wilfredonoyola I made a branch with a refactor.

I made a rewrite of the library, using ES6 (GMaps now is a class, arrow functions, spread operator, etc) and webpack. It incremented the bundle size in general but now the library is modular using one repo (instead of the previous approach of having one repo per module).

There are some pending tasks, such as:

• Update examples
• Merge examples and docs into one folder (/docs) to expose it as GitHub Pages.
• Write more/better tests to ensure the new codebase doesn't break anything (so far there's no compatibility breaks, according tests).

Let me know if you're interested in help me with those tasks.

[wilfredonoyola]

@hpneo of course, I can help with this.

[hpneo]

@wilfredonoyola great! The most important thing right now is the last item. If you have a project that uses GMaps extensively, you can check if is working as expected?

[wilfredonoyola]

Sure, I am working in a feature using gmap. Let me check tomorrow.

Hi there, I just stumbled into a project that I need to 'revive' which was built on top of this library. As you know, it is now broken. Has development resumed on it, or do you know if other folks have found an alternative?

It would really be a mess to abandon this project.
It saves us so much time ...

[lvidal1]

Is there any update on this? This library was so helpful!

[hpneo]

@lvidal1 @dani3l3 @ReskatoR-FR sadly I never received any update from @wilfredonoyola. If any of you have a working project that requires GMaps and it's broken, feel free to mention me or open an issue, so I can take a look.

I'm not working on any project that requires maps, so I can't test it more than running the tests occasionally. I also have a refactor branch that seemed to work OK at least on tests.
