Enhancing the Map Widget in Ensemble: Introducing Fixed & Draggable Markers

At Ensemble, we’re constantly looking for ways to enhance developer experience by making our low-code/no-code framework more intuitive and powerful. Recently, I worked on upgrading our Map Widget to introduce two powerful new features that simplify the location selection and marker interactions: ✅ fixedMarker: Pins a marker at the map’s center, letting users navigate the map beneath it. ✅ draggableMarker: Empowers users to drag and reposition markers freely. These features address critical user needs while boosting flexibility. Let’s dive into why we built them, how they work under the hood, and how you can leverage them in your apps.
