Laravel googlemapper包，无法从配置文件中获取变量，“需要Google Maps API密钥。”错误

Question

I was using your plugin these days trying to implement a googlemap on my site. I followed all installation steps and set a variety of variables. I am on laravel 5.4.

I stuck in this error: "Google maps API key is required.". Even I try to hard set the API in your core function, then it throws another error says "region is required". seems like the config file cannot be reached. I also tried to fix the file permissions, but unfortunately that's not the issue. Do you have any ideas about this? This is part of my controller file

use Cornford\Googlmapper\Mapper;
use Cornford\Googlmapper\Facades\MapperFacade;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

public function index(Mapper $mapper)
{
    ............
    $firstMapItem = reset($mapArrays);
    $mapper->map(
    $firstMapItem->latitude, $firstMapItem->longitude,
    [
        'zoom' => 10,
        'markers' => ['title' => 'My Location', 'animation' => 'DROP'],
        'clusters' => ['size' => 10, 'center' => true, 'zoom' => 20]
    ]
    );

    // Add information window for each address
    foreach ($mapArrays as $mapArray) {
        $mapper->marker($mapArray->latitude, $mapArray->longitude);
    }
}

Route

Route::get( '/map', 'MapController@index');

view

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
    {!! Mapper::render() !!}
</div>

BTW, I already changed the API value there, my problem is this API value has not been referenced. But if I move the Mapper function from the controller to the Route file, everything is fine. But if I do what I did as above, the API value from the googlmapper.php file isn't referenced.

Finally, make it works. Not because of the API issue, the API has been correctly placed. change

use Cornford\Googlmapper\Mapper;

to

use Mapper;

Very simply Facades things I think. credit to @zubinkadva on GitHub. Also the package author @bradcornford also mentioned

"however for reference you can also use the following:

use Cornford\Googlmapper\Facades\MapperFacade as Mapper; "
