To create a new react project run in your command-line:

  npx create-react-app my-react-map --template @maptiler/cra-template-maplibre-gl-js

Navigate to the newly created project folder my-react-map

  cd my-react-map

Rename or copy the .env.example file to .env

  cp .env.example .env

Open the .env file, ⚠️ you will need to replace YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY with your own MapTiler API key.

Your MapTiler account access key is on your MapTiler Cloud account page.

ℹ️ If you don't have an API KEY you can create it for free at https://www.maptiler.com/cloud/

To start your local environment run:

  npm start

You will find your app on address http://localhost:3000/.

Now you should see the app in your browser.

To build for production, run:

  npm run build

To deploy the app to the gh-pages branch, run:

  npm run deploy
