React Google Maps API
This library requires React v16.6 or later. If you need support for earlier versions of React, you should check out react-google-maps
This is complete re-write of the (sadly unmaintained) react-google-maps library. We thank tomchentw for his great work that made possible.
react-google-maps-api provides very simple bindings to the google maps api and lets you use it in your app as React components.
Here are the main additions to react-google-maps that were the motivation behind this re-write
- Simplified API
- Uses the new Context API
- Supports async React (StrictMode complient)
- Removes lodash dependency =>
smaller bundle size
12.4kb, tree-shakeable https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=react-google-maps-api@1.0.0 - forbids loading of Roboto fonts, if you set property preventGoogleFonts on
<LoadScript preventGoogleFonts />component
Examples can be found in two places:
- Official docs (powered by docz). See the docs folder
- A Gatsby app including some examples. See the examples folder
- Gatsby.js Demo
You can save on bundle size if you import only components, which you use from react-google-maps-api/lib/..., although whole library is tree-shakable.
Using the examples requires you to generate a google maps api key. For instructions on how to do that please see the following guide
