unable to load map library in middleware since v2

[ajaygawali120892]

Hi Team,

We are using following configuration to load google map library in middleware layer of application to avoid exposing API key in network tab of browser.

new Loader({
    apiKey: "",
    url: "/google-maps/map/maps/api/js",
    language: LANGUAGES_GOOGLE[locale],
    libraries: ["marker", "places"]
})

but since v2, setOptions option function we cannot do that I think it’s due to the missing URL property.
Are you planning to add URL property again?
or is there any possible solution to solve this problem

Thanks!

Loading the maps API on the server, or loading it via proxy, is generally not supported (it might even be prohibited by the terms of service, but I'm not sure about that).
This is also why setOptions dropped the URL parameter.

The solution is to simply not worry about exposing the API key and instead setup the keys in a secure way: don't reuse keys between dev- and production, use explicit origins, limit apis, add quotas, spending limits and billing alerts.
