Advanced tools
React hooks to build front-end applications for STAC APIs.
Note: stac-react is in early development, the API will likely break in future versions.
With NPM:
npm i @developmentseed/stac-react
With Yarn:
yarn add @developmentseed/stac-react
Stac-react's hooks must be used inside children of a React context that provides access to the stac-react's core functionality.
To get started, initialize StacApiProvider with the base URL of the STAC catalog.
import { StacApiProvider } from "stac-react";
function StacApp() {
return (
<StacApiProvider apiUrl="https://my-stac-api.com">
// Other components
</StacApiProvide>
);
}
Now you can start using stac-react hooks in child components of StacApiProvider
import { StacApiProvider, useCollections } from "stac-react";
function Collections() {
const { collections } = useCollections();
return (
<ul>
{collections.collections.map(({ id, title }) => (
<li key={id}>{ title }</li>
))}
</ul>
)
}
function StacApp() {
return (
<StacApiProvider apiUrl="https://my-stac-api.com">
<Collections />
</StacApiProvide>
);
}
Provides the React context required for stac-react hooks.
import { StacApiProvider } from "stac-react";
function StacApp() {
return (
<StacApiProvider apiUrl="https://my-stac-api.com">
// Other components
</StacApiProvide>
);
}
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
apiUrl. | string | The base url of the STAC catalog. |
Retrieves collections from a STAC catalog.
import { useCollections } from "stac-react";
const { collections } = useCollections();
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

import { useCollections } from "stac-react";
function CollectionList() {
const { collections, state } = useCollections();
if (state === "LOADING") {
return <p>Loading collections...</p>
}
return (
<>
{collections ? (
<ul>
{collections.collections.map(({ id, title }) => (
<li key={id}>{title}</li>
))}
</ul>
<button type="button" onclick={reload}>Update collections</button>
): (
<p>No collections</p>
)}
</>
);
}
Retrieves a single collection from the STAC catalog.
import { useCollection } from "stac-react";
const { collection } = useCollection(id);
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | string | The collection ID. |
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
collection | object | The collection matching the provided ID. Is null if collection has not been retrieved. |

import { useCollection } from "stac-react";
function Collection() {
const { collection, state } = useCollection("collection_id");
if (state === "LOADING") {
return <p>Loading collection...</p>
}
return (
<>
{collection ? (
<>
<h2>{collection.id}</h2>
<p>{collection.description}</p>
</>
) : (
<p>Not found</p>
)}
</>
);
}
Retrieves an item from the STAC catalog. To retrieve an item, provide its full url to the useItem hook.
import { useItem } from "stac-react";
const { item } = useItem(url);

}
import { useCallback } from "react";
import { useStacSearch } from "stac-react";
import Map from "./map";
function StacComponent() {
const { error, result } = useStacSearch();
return (
<>
<div class="item-list">
{error && <p>{ error.detail }</p>}
{results && (
<ul>
{results.features.map(({ id }) => (
<li key={id}>{ id }</li>
))}
</ul>
)}
</div>
</>
)
}
import { useStacSearch } from "stac-react";
function StacComponent() {
const {
nextPage,

} = useStacSearch();
return (

)
}
import { useStacSearch } from "stac-react";
function StacComponent() {
const { collections } = useCollections();
const { collections: selectedCollections, setCollections, results, submit } = useStacSearch();
const handleChange = useCallback((event) => {
const { value } = event.target;
const nextValues = selectedCollections.includes(value)
? selectedCollections.filter((v) => v !== value)
: [ ...selectedCollections, value ];
setCollections(nextValues);
}, [selectedCollections, setCollections]);
return (
<>
<div class="query-builder">
<form onSubmit={submit}>
<fieldset>
<legend>Select collections</legend>
{collections.map(({ id, title }) => (
<input
id={id}
name="collections"
value={id}
type="checkbox"
onChange={handleChange}
checked={selectedCollections.includes(id)}
/>
<label htmlFor={id}>{title}</label>
))}
<fieldset>
<button type="submit">Search</button>
</form>
</div>
</>
)
}
import { useCallback } from "react";
import { useStacSearch } from "stac-react";
function StacComponent() {
const { bbox, setBbox, submit } = useStacSearch();
const handleDrawComplete = useCallback((feature) => {
setIsBboxDrawEnabled(false);
const { coordinates } = feature.geometry;
const bbox = [...coordinates[0][0], ...coordinates[0][2]];
setBbox(bbox);
}, [setBbox]);
<Map handleDrawComplete={handleDrawComplete} />
}
This example assumes that a Map component handles drawing and calls handleDrawComplete to set the bbox for the search. handleDrawComplete is called with a GeoJSON feature representing the bounding box drawn on the map.
import { useStacSearch } from "stac-react";
function StacComponent() {
const {
dateRangeFrom,
setDateRangeFrom,
dateRangeTo,
setDateRangeTo,
submit
} = useStacSearch();
return (
<>
<input type="date" name="date_from" onChange={setDateRangeFrom} value={dateRangeFrom} />
<input type="date" name="date_to" onChange={setDateRangeTo} value={dateRangeTo} />
<button type="button" onclick={submit}>
</>
)
}
{
detail: "Invalid bbox object"
status: 400,
statusText: "Bad Request"
}
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
detail | string | `object |
status | number | HTTP status code of the response. |
statusText | string | Status text for the response. |
