react-native-streetview

Google's StreetView component for React Native
(iOS and Android supported)

Installation

On your app's root folder run

yarn add react-native-streetview

iOS

1. Install GoogleMaps SDK for iOS using CocoaPods: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/start

2. Add your API key to AppDelegate:

   Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials to check your credentials.

   - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
   {
   	[GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"];
   

Android

1. Install Google Play services using SDK Manager in Android Studio (once for all your apps)

2. Generate an a new API Key. see https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials Make sure Google Maps API is enabled.

3. Add the API key to your app's Manifest file (android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml):

   <application>
     <!-- You will only need to add this meta-data tag, but make sure it's a child of application -->
     <meta-data
       android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
       android:value="YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"/>
   </application>
   

Usage

Import

import StreetView from 'react-native-streetview';

Add StreetView component

<View style={styles.container}>
  <StreetView
    style={styles.streetView}
    allGesturesEnabled={true}
    coordinate={{
      'latitude': -33.852,
      'longitude': 151.211
    }}
    pov={{
	tilt:parseFloat(0),
	bearing:parseFloat(0),
	zoom:parseInt(1)
    }}
  />
</View>

Use position absolute for layout

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1
  },
  streetView: {
    position: 'absolute',
    top: 0,
    left: 0,
    right: 0,
    bottom: 0,
  },
});

Notice: if you are using react-navigation. There is a known bug where a black window appears upon dismissal of StreetView's container screen - if it was deployed on full screen. A workaround solution is to bound StreetView with some margins. See issue 12

Properties

Prop	Type	Default	Description
allGesturesEnabled	bool	true	Enables user interaction (orientation, zoom, navigation)
coordinate	shape	null	Request panorama near the coordinate
radius	number	50	Specify a search radius, in meters, around the coordinate
streetNamesHidden	bool	false	Remove street names from the map

Example

The 'example' folder contains a fully working example for iOS and Android.

iOS:

Edit example/ios/example/AppDelegate.m and add your API key at: [GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"];

And run

$ cd example
$ yarn
$ cd ios
$ pod install
$ cd ..
$ npx react-native run-ios

Android:

Edit AndroidManifest.xml (in example/android/app/src/main)
Add your API key under:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
    android:value="YOUR-API-KEY-HERE" />

Then run

$ cd example
$ yarn
$ npx react-native run-android

Roadmap and help?

This component was built to have Street View ability in our Home Renting app, Nester. There is much to go forward, with camera and heading setup, markers, etc. We will gradually add those in the next releases. Feel free to fork and submit PR's. We'll really appreciate any effort, especially on Android ;(
