About

A tiny module that uses the React Native Linking API to get directions using Google Maps by opening it in the default browser or app if installed.

Install

$ npm install --save react-native-google-maps-directions

$ yarn add react-native-google-maps-directions

Usage

import getDirections from 'react-native-google-maps-directions'

export default class gmapsDirections extends Component {

  handleGetDirections = () => {
    const data = {
       source: {
        latitude: -33.8356372,
        longitude: 18.6947617
      },
      destination: {
        latitude: -33.8600024,
        longitude: 18.697459
      },
      params: [
        {
          key: "dirflg",
          value: "w"
        }
      ]
    }

    getDirections(data)
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Button onPress={this.handleGetDirections} title="Get Directions" />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

API

The module exports a single getDirections function that takes a object as its argument. The object may have destination (Where your coming from) and source (Where you going to) both of which have latitude and longitude number properties. If source is undefined, it defaults to the user's current location. If destination is undefined, it leaves it blank in Google Maps and the user will be able to enter a destination.

Additionaly parameters can be added as key-value pairs to the params array (optional). The supported parameters are listed here. For example, in the code above, the key-value pair dirflg and w tells google maps to provide the directions with travel mode set to walking.
