Angular Map - Add and Remove

To add markers at design-time, pass an array of objects to the markers property. A marker requires only its location to be specified.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#mapContainer").dxMap({
        zoom: 5,
        markers: [
            { location: "40.749825, -73.090443" },
            { location: "42.743244, -71.594375" },
            { location: "37.058435, -74.903842" }
        ]
    });
});
Angular

TypeScript
<dx-map
    [zoom]="5"
    [markers]="mapMarkers">
</dx-map>
import { DxMapModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    mapMarkers = [
        { location: "40.749825, -73.090443" },
        { location: "42.743244, -71.594375" },
        { location: "37.058435, -74.903842" }
    ];
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxMapModule
    ],
    // ...
})
Vue
<template>
    <DxMap
        :zoom="5"
        :markers="mapMarkers"
    />
</template>

<script>
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import { DxMap } from 'devextreme-vue/map';

export default {
    components: {
        DxMap
    },
    data() {
        return {
            mapMarkers: [
                { location: "40.749825, -73.090443" },
                { location: "42.743244, -71.594375" },
                { location: "37.058435, -74.903842" }

    { location: "37.058435, -74.903842" }

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (

jQuery

To add or remove a marker at runtime, call the addMarker(markerOptions) or removeMarker(marker) method.

JavaScript
const markersCollection = [
    { location: "40.749825, -73.090443" },
    { location: "42.743244, -71.594375", tooltip: { isShown: true } }
];

// Adds a marker
map.addMarker(markersCollection[0]);

// Adds several markers
map.addMarker(markersCollection);

// Removes the marker with specific configuration
map.removeMarker(markersCollection[1]);

// Removes the marker with index 2 in the "markers" array
map.removeMarker(2);

// Removes the markers with specific configurations
map.removeMarker(markersCollection);

// Removes the markers with indexes 0 and 4 in the "markers" array
map.removeMarker([0, 4]);

In the following code, a marker is added each time a user clicks someplace on the Map. The last marker from the markers array is removed when the user clicks the Button under the Map.

JavaScript
$(function() {
    const map = $("#mapContainer").dxMap({
        center: { lat: 40.749825, lng: -73.987963 },
        zoom: 10,
        onClick: function (e) {
            e.component.addMarker({
                // Location of the clicked point on the map
                location: e.location
            });
        }
    }).dxMap("instance");

    $("#removeMarker").dxButton({
        text: "Remove the Last Marker",
        onClick: function () {
            const markers = map.option("markers");
            const markerCount = markers.length;
            if (markerCount < 1)
                return;
            // Removes the last marker
            map.removeMarker(markers[markerCount - 1]);
        }
    });
});
Angular

To add or remove a marker at runtime, bind the markers property of the Map to a component property:

HTML
TypeScript
<dx-map
    [zoom]="10"
    [markers]="mapMarkers"
    (onClick)="addMarker($event)">
</dx-map>
<dx-button
    text="Remove the Last Marker"
    (onClick)="removeMarker()">
</dx-button>
import { DxMapModule, DxButtonModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    mapMarkers = [
        { location: "40.749825, -73.090443" },
        { location: "42.743244, -71.594375" }
    ];
    addMarker (e) {
        this.mapMarkers.push({ location: e.location });
    };
    removeMarker () {
        this.mapMarkers.pop();
    }
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxMapModule,
        DxButtonModule
    ],
    // ...
})
Vue

To add or remove a marker at runtime, bind the markers property of the Map to a component property:

<template>
    <div>
        <DxMap
            :zoom="10"
            :markers="mapMarkers"
            @click="addMarker"
        />
        <DxButton
            text="Remove the Last Marker"
            @click="removeMarker"
        />
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import { DxMap } from 'devextreme-vue/map';
import { DxButton } from 'devextreme-vue/button';

export default {
    components: {
        DxMap,
        DxButton
    },
    data() {
        return {
            mapMarkers: [
                { location: "40.749825, -73.090443" },
                { location: "42.743244, -71.594375" }
            ]
        };
    },
    methods: {
        addMarker(e) {
            this.mapMarkers.push({ location: e.location });
        },
        removeMarker() {
            this.mapMarkers.pop();
        }
    }
}
</script>
React

To add or remove a marker at runtime, bind the markers property of the Map to a state property:

import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import { Map } from 'devextreme-react/map';
import { Button } from 'devextreme-react/button';

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
            mapMarkers: [
                { location: "40.749825, -73.090443" },
                { location: "42.743244, -71.594375" }
            ]
        };

        this.addMarker = this.addMarker.bind(this);
        this.removeMarker = this.removeMarker.bind(this);
    }

    addMarker() {
        this.state.mapMarkers.push({ location: e.location });
    }

    removeMarker() {
        this.state.mapMarkers.pop();
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <Map
                    defaultZoom={10}
                    markers={this.state.mapMarkers}
                    onClick={this.addMarker}
                />
                <Button
                    text="Remove the Last Marker"
                    onClick={this.removeMarker}
                />
            </div>
        );
    }
}

export default App;
