Usage

  1. Install the repository
    $ npm install --save react-native-open-maps
  2. Add an import to the top of your file
    import openMap from 'react-native-open-maps';
  3. Put it all together
    import React, { Component } from 'react';
    import { Button } from 'react-native';
    import openMap from 'react-native-open-maps';
    
    export default class App extends Component {
      _goToYosemite() {
        openMap({ latitude: 37.865101, longitude: -119.538330 });
      }
      
      render() {
        return (
          <Button
            color={'#bdc3c7'}
            onPress={this._goToYosemite}
            title="Click To Open Maps 🗺" />
        );
      }
    }
  4. BONUS: You can also create delayed functions for more of that 1 - 1 mapping flavor 🍦.
import { createOpenLink } from 'react-native-open-maps';

const yosemite = { latitude: 37.865101, longitude: -119.538330 };
const openYosemite = createOpenLink(yosemite);
const openYosemiteZoomedOut = createOpenLink({ ...yosemite, zoom: 30 });

const facebookHQ = { latitude: 37.4847, longitude: 122.1477 };
const openFacebookHQ = createOpenLink(facebookHQ);

// Condensed for Readability...
    render() {
        return (
          <Button
            color={'#bdc3c7'}
            onPress={openYosemite}
            title="Go to Yosemite 🏔" />
          <Button
            color={'#bdc3c7'}
            onPress={openFacebookHQ}
            title="Go to Facebook HQ 🕋" />
        );

API

default function open(options)

react-native-open-maps immediately opens the map of the coordinates and the settings

{ createOpenLink(options) }

Creates a delayed invoked function to open the map. This is useful for binding functions to onPress() in a succinct manner. Think of it like ... function openToMe() { open(coordinates) }

{ createMapLink(options) }

Creates the raw link for the map.

options

🔑 Italicize indicates optional

Properties Type Description Example
latitude number The latitude 37.865101
longitude number The longitude -119.538330
zoom number The zoom level 18
Default: 15
provider string
[google,apple]
If no provider set, it will determine according to Platform.OS apple
query string Will act according to the map used. Refer to query property "Yosemite Trail"
Query Property

Behavior based on Platform:

  • Apple Maps: If latitude and longitude is provided, this will place a marker with the query as a label. If no latitude or longitude is provided, it will center map to closest query match.
  • Google Maps: Will override latitude and longitude and center map to closest query match. Without a query, Google will place a pin on the set latitude and longitude
