Adding ID’s to google map markers

January 29, 2023 by Tarik

JavaScript is a dynamic language. You could just add it to the object itself.

var marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerOptions);
marker.metadata = {type: "point", id: 1};

Also, because all v3 objects extend MVCObject(). You can use:

marker.setValues({type: "point", id: 1});
// or
marker.set("type", "point");
marker.set("id", 1);
var val = marker.get("id");
