 What3words React Components

The what3words react components package extends the JS API as a framework wrapper for the custom elements found in the @what3words/javascript-components package. This is exclusively for use in ReactJS applications. Depending on your use-case, you can alternatively utilise our native JS custom elements (@what3words/javascript-components) as these should work given the specification's current browser compatibility and framework support.

This library was generated with Create React App version 5.0.1.

Bundler Support

Some bundlers require additional configuration to work with our components.
