Google Maps JavaScript API React Suspense Loader

Description

Load Google Maps API in large code splitted application(React.Lazy) with Suspense. It's very usefull when you have different lazy loaded components with your router (for example: React Router). You have ability to load google maps only when you actually want to render it.

Usage

Add useGoogleMaps hook to your component and wrap your component with Suspense.

const GoogleMap = () => {
  useGoogleMaps({
    apiKey: "Api Key",
  });
  ...
  return <div></div>
};

const SearchInput = () => {
  useGoogleMaps({
    apiKey: "Api Key",
  });
  ...
  return <div></div>
};

function App() {
    return (
        <div className="App">
                <Suspense fallback={'loading'}>
                     <div>    
                        <SearchInput/>
                     <div/>
                     <div>
                        <GoogleMap/>
                     </div>  
                </Suspense>
            </header>
        </div>
    );
}

Usually better to create your own wrapper and wrap all google api components.

const MyGoogleMapsWrapper = ({
    children,
}: { children: ReactNode } & LoaderOptions) => {
    useGoogleMaps({
       apiKey: process.env.REACT_APP_NOT_SECRET_CODE,
       libraries: ['places'],
    );
    return <>{children}</>;
};

const GoogleMapWithApi = () => {
  return (
    <MyGoogleMapsWrapper>
      <GoogleMap />
    </MyGoogleMapsWrapper>
  );
};

export GoogleMapWithApi
