@react-google-maps/api
Advanced tools
@react-google-maps/api is a library that provides a set of React components for integrating Google Maps into your React applications. It offers a simple and efficient way to use Google Maps features such as markers, info windows, and various map controls.
Basic Map
This code demonstrates how to render a basic Google Map using the @react-google-maps/api package. The map is centered at a specific latitude and longitude and has a defined container style.
import { GoogleMap, LoadScript } from '@react-google-maps/api';
const containerStyle = {
width: '400px',
height: '400px'
};
const center = {
lat: -3.745,
lng: -38.523
};
function MyComponent() {
return (
<LoadScript googleMapsApiKey="YOUR_API_KEY">
<GoogleMap
mapContainerStyle={containerStyle}
center={center}
zoom={10}
>
{ /* Child components, such as markers, info windows, etc. */ }
<></>
</GoogleMap>
</LoadScript>
)
}
export default MyComponent;
Markers
This code demonstrates how to add a marker to the Google Map. The marker is positioned at the center of the map.
import { GoogleMap, LoadScript, Marker } from '@react-google-maps/api';
const containerStyle = {
width: '400px',
height: '400px'
};
const center = {
lat: -3.745,
lng: -38.523
};
function MyComponent() {
return (
<LoadScript googleMapsApiKey="YOUR_API_KEY">
<GoogleMap
mapContainerStyle={containerStyle}
center={center}
zoom={10}
>
<Marker position={center} />
</GoogleMap>
</LoadScript>
)
}
export default MyComponent;
Info Windows
This code demonstrates how to add an Info Window to a marker on the Google Map. The Info Window appears when the marker is clicked and can be closed by clicking the close button.
import { GoogleMap, LoadScript, Marker, InfoWindow } from '@react-google-maps/api';
import { useState } from 'react';
const containerStyle = {
width: '400px',
height: '400px'
};
const center = {
lat: -3.745,
lng: -38.523
};
function MyComponent() {
const [selected, setSelected] = useState(null);
return (
<LoadScript googleMapsApiKey="YOUR_API_KEY">
<GoogleMap
mapContainerStyle={containerStyle}
center={center}
zoom={10}
>
<Marker
position={center}
onClick={() => setSelected(center)}
/>
{selected && (
<InfoWindow
position={center}
onCloseClick={() => setSelected(null)}
>
<div>
<h2>Info Window</h2>
<p>Details about this location.</p>
</div>
</InfoWindow>
)}
</GoogleMap>
</LoadScript>
)
}
export default MyComponent;
google-maps-react is another popular library for integrating Google Maps into React applications. It provides a set of React components similar to @react-google-maps/api but is considered less performant and less actively maintained.
react-google-maps is an older library for Google Maps integration in React. It offers similar functionalities but is no longer actively maintained, and users are encouraged to migrate to @react-google-maps/api for better performance and support.
react-map-gl is a library for integrating Mapbox maps into React applications. While it does not use Google Maps, it offers similar functionalities for map rendering, markers, and controls, making it a good alternative for those who prefer Mapbox.
@react-google-maps/api@1.2.3
This library requires React v16.6 or later. If you need support for earlier versions of React, you should check out react-google-maps
This is complete re-write of the (sadly unmaintained) react-google-maps
library. We thank tomchentw for his great work that made possible.
@react-google-maps/api provides very simple bindings to the google maps api and lets you use it in your app as React components.
Here are the main additions to react-google-maps that were the motivation behind this re-write
npm i -S @react-google-maps/api
12.4kb
gzip, tree-shakeable https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=@react-google-maps/api@1.0.0<LoadScript preventGoogleFonts />
componentExamples can be found in two places:
You can save on bundle size if you import only components, which you use from @react-google-maps/api/lib/...
, although whole library is tree-shakable.
Using the examples requires you to generate a google maps api key. For instructions on how to do that please see the following guide
Maintainers and contributors are very welcome! See this issue to get started.
if you need an access to map object, instead of ref
prop, you need to use onLoad
callback on <GoogleMap />
component.
Before:
// before
<GoogleMap
ref={map => {
const bounds = new window.google.maps.LatLngBounds();
map.fitBounds(bounds);
}}
/>
After:
<GoogleMap
onLoad={map => {
const bounds = new window.google.maps.LatLngBounds();
map.fitBounds(bounds);
}}
onUnmount={map => {
// do your stuff before map is unmounted
}}
/>
Since 1.2.0 you can use onLoad and onMount props for each @react-google-maps/api component, ref does not contain API methods anymore.
Since version 1.2.2 We added useGoogleMap hook, which is working only with React@16.8.1 and later versions.
