This example shows which events are triggered as you interact with the map.
Read the documentation.
TypeScript
const events = [ 'bounds_changed', 'center_changed', 'click', 'contextmenu', 'dblclick', 'drag', 'dragend', 'dragstart', 'heading_changed', 'idle', 'maptypeid_changed', 'mousemove', 'mouseout', 'mouseover', 'projection_changed', 'resize', 'rightclick', // use contextmenu 'tilesloaded', 'tilt_changed', 'zoom_changed', ]; function setupListener(map: google.maps.Map, name: string) { const eventRow = document.getElementById(name)!; map.addListener(name, () => { eventRow.className = 'event active'; setTimeout(() => { eventRow.className = 'event inactive'; }, 1000); }); } async function init() { // Request needed libraries. await google.maps.importLibrary('maps'); const mapElement = document.querySelector('gmp-map')!; populateTable(); // Get the inner map. const innerMap = mapElement.innerMap; innerMap.setOptions({ mapTypeControl: false, }); for (const event of events) { setupListener(innerMap, event); } } // Dynamically create the table of events from the defined hashmap function populateTable() { const eventsTable = document.getElementById('sidebar')!; for (const event of events) { const eventDiv = document.createElement('div'); eventDiv.className = 'event'; eventDiv.id = event; eventDiv.innerText = event; eventsTable.appendChild(eventDiv); } } void init();

Git and Node.js are required to run this sample locally. Follow these instructions to install Node.js and NPM. You will also need a Google Maps API key.
The following commands clone the repository, install dependencies, and copy the environment file.
git clone https://github.com/googlemaps-samples/js-api-samples.gitcd js-api-samplesnpm icp .env.template .env
Once you copy the environment file, make sure to open the .env file and replace <Insert your own development API key here> with your actual API key before starting the sample.
cd samples/map-eventsnpm start
