Request: Leaflet / Google Maps / OpenStreetMap Component

[mpathy]

I hope it is okay to put an component request here, but I like your project and use it a lot.
It is a good collection of the most important components for building a website, so sometimes, I only need Astro and Astro Components.

Yet, one VERY common scenario is that someone needs a map in his website.

As I am quite new to Astro in terms of development, rather than just using, i dont feel confident enough to build such a component with best practises in mind.

Also, I think it would fit thematically in your project better in terms of your goals.

Maybe someone has something like that already done and would like to contribute it to the community with some modification to fit the "Astro Components" style :)

Thanks definitely OK to suggest things! (No guarantee I’ll have the bandwidth to build them but maybe someone else is also interested in contributing.)

One thing to note is that most often this project tries to offer lightweight solutions, so I guess we’d also need to see if there’s a good fit for that philosophy for maps.

Btw, it could be interesting to actually cache some OSM tiles related to a particular small geographical area (maybe at a limited number of scales). And then these tiles might be served just as static images from the static website :) Like so OSM map could become truly self-contained and statically-hosted

The most extreme/basic version of this is generating a map screenshot at the astro website build time - and having this screenshot clickable leading to a pin into an actual map website like OSM or Google Maps

I wonder if there are already any npm packages for achieving this
