React.js Google Maps integration component

Quick start: SimpleMap

Declare your Google Maps components using React components.

import {GoogleMap, Marker} from "react-google-maps";

export default function SimpleMap (props) {
  return (
    <section style={{height: "100%"}}>
      <GoogleMap containerProps={{
          style: {
            height: "100%",
          },
        }}
        defaultZoom={3}
        defaultCenter={{lat: -25.363882, lng: 131.044922}}
        onClick={props.onMapClick}
      >
        {props.markers.map((marker, index) => {
          return (
            <Marker
              {...marker}
              onRightclick={() => props.onMarkerRightclick(index)} />
          );
        })}
      </GoogleMap>
    </section>
  );
}

Documentation

Rule 1

Define <GoogleMap> component in the top level. Use containerProps, containerTagName to customized the wrapper DOM for the component.

Other components like <Marker> belongs to the children of <GoogleMap>. You already know this from the example code above.

Rule 2

Everything in the Methods table in the official documentation of the component could be set via component's props directly. For example, a <Marker> component has the following props:

animation, attribution, clickable, cursor, draggable, icon, label, opacity, options, place, position, shape, title, visible, zIndex

Rule 3

Every props mentioned in Rule 2 could be either controlled or uncontrolled property. Free to use either one depends on your use case.

Rule 4

Anything that are inside components' options property could ONLY be accessible via props.options. It's your responsibility to manage props.options object during the React lifetime for your component. My suggestion is, always use Rule 3 if possible. Only use options when it's necessary.

Static hosted demo site on GitHub. The code is located under examples/gh-pages folder.

Usage

react-google-maps requires React 0.14

npm install --save react-google-maps

All components are available on the top-level export.

import { GoogleMap, Marker, SearchBox } from "react-google-maps";

Optimize bundle size

You could of course import from individual modules to save your webpack's bundle size.

import GoogleMap from "react-google-maps/lib/GoogleMap"; // Or import {default as GoogleMap} ...

Additional Addons

Some addons component could ONLY be accessible via direct import:

import InfoBox from "react-google-maps/lib/addons/InfoBox";

Development

First, clone the project.

git clone ...

With Docker

Install docker@^1.8.2, docker-compose@^1.4.0 and optionally docker-machine@^0.4.1. Then,

docker-compose run --service-ports web

Then open http://192.168.59.103:8080.

192.168.59.103 is actually your ip from docker-machine ip.

If you change code in your local, you'll need to rebuild the image to make changes happen.

If you're previously using boot2docker, you may want to migrate to docker-machine instead.

docker-compose build

With Mac

Install node. Then,

npm install
cd examples/gh-pages
npm install
npm start

Then open http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/.

With Windows

Install node. Then,

npm install
cd examples/gh-pages
npm install
npm start:windows

Then open http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/.
