Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
react-leaflet
Advanced tools
The react-leaflet package is a React wrapper for the Leaflet library, which is a popular open-source JavaScript library for interactive maps. It allows developers to easily integrate and manipulate maps within React applications.
Displaying a Map
This code sample demonstrates how to display a basic map using react-leaflet. The MapContainer component is used to create the map, and the TileLayer component is used to add a tile layer from OpenStreetMap.
import { MapContainer, TileLayer } from 'react-leaflet';
function MyMap() {
return (
<MapContainer center={[51.505, -0.09]} zoom={13} style={{ height: '100vh', width: '100%' }}>
<TileLayer
url="https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
attribution="© <a href='https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright'>OpenStreetMap</a> contributors"
/>
</MapContainer>
);
}
Adding Markers
This code sample shows how to add a marker to the map. The Marker component is used to place a marker at a specific position, and the Popup component is used to display a popup when the marker is clicked.
import { MapContainer, TileLayer, Marker, Popup } from 'react-leaflet';
function MyMap() {
return (
<MapContainer center={[51.505, -0.09]} zoom={13} style={{ height: '100vh', width: '100%' }}>
<TileLayer
url="https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
attribution="© <a href='https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright'>OpenStreetMap</a> contributors"
/>
<Marker position={[51.505, -0.09]}>
<Popup>
A pretty CSS3 popup. <br /> Easily customizable.
</Popup>
</Marker>
</MapContainer>
);
}
Drawing Shapes
This code sample demonstrates how to draw a polygon on the map. The Polygon component is used to create a polygon shape by specifying an array of latitude and longitude coordinates.
import { MapContainer, TileLayer, Polygon } from 'react-leaflet';
function MyMap() {
const polygon = [
[51.505, -0.09],
[51.51, -0.1],
[51.51, -0.12]
];
return (
<MapContainer center={[51.505, -0.09]} zoom={13} style={{ height: '100vh', width: '100%' }}>
<TileLayer
url="https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
attribution="© <a href='https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright'>OpenStreetMap</a> contributors"
/>
<Polygon positions={polygon} />
</MapContainer>
);
}
react-map-gl is a React wrapper for Mapbox GL JS, which is a powerful library for interactive maps. It offers more advanced features and customization options compared to react-leaflet, but it requires a Mapbox access token.
google-maps-react is a library for integrating Google Maps into React applications. It provides a simple API for adding maps and markers, but it is dependent on the Google Maps API, which may have usage limits and requires an API key.
react-google-maps is another library for using Google Maps in React applications. It offers a more declarative approach compared to google-maps-react and includes additional features like drawing tools and heatmaps.
