This example uses the
[Data layer](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/3.exp/reference#Data.Polygon) to
create a polygon with two internal holes. If you don't use the data layer to
create an inner hole, you must define a path wound in the opposite direction to
the outer path as shown in
[this alternative](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/polygon-hole.md.txt).

Read the [documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/datalayer.md.txt).

### TypeScript

```typescript
// This example uses the Google Maps JavaScript API's Data layer
// to create a rectangular polygon with 2 holes in it.

function initMap(): void {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement,
    {
      zoom: 6,
      center: { lat: -33.872, lng: 151.252 },
    }
  );

  // Define the LatLng coordinates for the outer path.
  const outerCoords = [
    { lat: -32.364, lng: 153.207 }, // north west
    { lat: -35.364, lng: 153.207 }, // south west
    { lat: -35.364, lng: 158.207 }, // south east
    { lat: -32.364, lng: 158.207 }, // north east
  ];

  // Define the LatLng coordinates for an inner path.
  const innerCoords1 = [
    { lat: -33.364, lng: 154.207 },
    { lat: -34.364, lng: 154.207 },
    { lat: -34.364, lng: 155.207 },
    { lat: -33.364, lng: 155.207 },
  ];

  // Define the LatLng coordinates for another inner path.
  const innerCoords2 = [
    { lat: -33.364, lng: 156.207 },
    { lat: -34.364, lng: 156.207 },
    { lat: -34.364, lng: 157.207 },
    { lat: -33.364, lng: 157.207 },
  ];

  map.data.add({
    geometry: new google.maps.Data.Polygon([
      outerCoords,
      innerCoords1,
      innerCoords2,
    ]),
  });
}

declare global {
  interface Window {
    initMap: () => void;
  }
}
window.initMap = initMap;
```

### JavaScript

### CSS

```css
/* 
 * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element
 * that contains the map. 
 */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}

/* 
 * Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. 
 */
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
```

### HTML

```html
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Data Layer: Polygon</title>

    <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>
