Rails Admin Map Field:

rails_admin_map_field is a gem that works with sferik's rails_admin (https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin) to provide an easy to use Google Maps interface for displaying and setting geographic co-ordinates in a model.

Where a latitude and longitude is set on the model(or below map), it is indicated by a marker shown on a Google map centered at the marker. The administrator is expected to also store address, city, and state fields. As these fields are filled in, the Maps API is used to geocode the address in order to determine the latitude and longitude of the map marker, which is updated on the fly.

Usage

*New features:

• map resizing in config
• map marker draggable
• custom label for latitude field
• responsive map width

field :latitude, :map do
  map_height 400
  map_label "Map"
end

• adds :latitude, :longitude live text fields below map

rails_admin_map_field expects that the model will have two attributes, one for latitude and one for longitude of the point represented. To enable rails_admin_map_field, add the following to your Gemfile:

gem "rails_admin_map_field", :github => "git://github.com/dkobia/rails_admin_map_field.git"

Then, add in your config/initializers/rails_admin.rb initializer:

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.model User do
    edit do
      field :latitude, :map
    end
  end
end

Note: The field which is set as a map-type field must be the latitude field, not the longitude. By default, rails_admin_map_field will guess that the longitude field is called "longitude".

Configuration

For different configurations, rails_admin_map_field can be configured with the following:

• longitude_field - the name of the longitude field that forms the the co-ordinate with the latitude field specified. Defaults to "longitude"
• address_field - the name of the address field. Defaults to "address"
• city_field - the name of the city field. Defaults to "city"
• state_field - the name of the state field. Defaults to "state"
• google_api_key - if you use a Google Maps API Key, it can be specified here.
• default_latitude - the latitude to center the map shown on if the latitude field is blank. Defaults to 40.711417, the latitude of New Jersey City, NJ, USA
• default_longitude - the longitude used if the longitude field is blank. Defaults to 74.0647, the longitude of New Jersey City, NJ, USA.
• map_height - map height
• map_label - label for map field. Defaults to "Map"

A more complicated configuration example:

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.model Point do
    edit do
      field :lat, :map do
        longitude_field :lon
        google_api_key "a1b2c3d4e5f6deadbeef"
        default_latitude -34.0  # Sydney, Australia
        default_longitude 151.0
      end
    end
  end
end
