@abhinavvv13/react-native-mapbox-navigation

A modified fork of pawan-pk/react-native-mapbox-navigation with all original features plus:

• 🛰️ Customer live location updates
• 🔄 Automatic reroute when destination or waypoints change
• 🌐 Dynamic language switching mid-navigation
• 🚴 Dynamic travel-mode switching (driving, traffic-aware, walking, cycling)
• traffic lights display

---

Important:

The project requires newArchEnabled=false on android and ENV['RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED'] = '0' on ios. Support for newArch is in-progress

Installation

1. Download package

# yarn
yarn add @abhinavvv13/react-native-mapbox-navigation

# npm
npm install @abhinavvv13/react-native-mapbox-navigation

iOS Specific Instructions

1. Place your secret token in a .netrc file in your OS root directory.

   machine api.mapbox.com
   login mapbox
   password <INSERT SECRET TOKEN>
   

2. Install pods

   cd ios && pod install
   

3. Place your public token in your Xcode project's Info.plist and add a MBXAccessToken key whose value is your public access token.

4. Add the UIBackgroundModes key to Info.plist with audio and location if it is not already present. This will allow your app to deliver audible instructions while it is in the background or the device is locked.

   <key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
   <array>
     <string>audio</string>
     <string>location</string>
   </array>
   

Android Specific Instructions

1. Place your secret token in your android app's top level gradle.properties or «USER_HOME»/.gradle/gradle.properties file

   MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN=<YOUR_MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN>
   

2. Open up your project-level build.gradle file. Declare the Mapbox Downloads API's releases/maven endpoint in the allprojects repositories block.

   allprojects {
       repositories {
           maven {
                 url 'https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/releases/maven'
                 authentication {
                     basic(BasicAuthentication)
                 }
                 credentials {
                   // Do not change the username below.
                   // This should always be `mapbox` (not your username).
                     username = "mapbox"
                     // Use the secret token you stored in gradle.properties as the password
                     password = project.properties['MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN'] ?: ""
                 }
             }
       }
   }

3. Add Resources
   To do so create a new string resource file in your app module (e.g. app/src/main/res/values/mapbox_access_token.xml) with your public Mapbox API token:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
        <string name="mapbox_access_token" translatable="false" tools:ignore="UnusedResources">YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN</string>
    </resources>

   For more details installation you can read the Official docs of Mapbox.

MapboxNavigation Props

• startOrigin(Required) (object): The starting point of the navigation. Should contain latitude and longitude keys.

• destination(Required) (object): The destination point of the navigation. Should contain latitude and longitude keys. Now supports change of coordinates dynamically

• waypoints (array): The waypoints for navigation points between startOrigin and destination. Should contains array of latitude and longitude keys.

• customerLocation (object): Current customer coordinate to show on the map.

• style (StyleObject): Custom styles for the navigation mapview.

• shouldSimulateRoute (boolean): [iOS Only] If true, simulates the route for testing purposes. Defaults to false.

• showCancelButton (boolean): [Android Only] If true, shows a cancel button on the navigation screen. Defaults to false.

• language (string): The language for the navigation instructions. Defaults to en.

• distanceUnit ('metric' | 'imperial'): Unit of direction and voice instructions (default is 'imperial')

• customerLocation draws a customer annonation at given coordinates. Coordinates can be changed dynamically in JS.

• onLocationChange: Function that is called frequently during route navigation. It receives latitude, longitude, heading and accuracy as parameters that represent the current location during navigation.

• onRouteProgressChange: Function that is called frequently during route navigation. It receives distanceTraveled, durationRemaining, fractionTraveled, and distanceRemaining as parameters.

• onError: Function that is called whenever an error occurs. It receives a message parameter that describes the error that occurred.

• onCancelNavigation: Function that is called whenever a user cancels navigation.

• onArrive: Function that is called when you arrive at the provided destination.

• travelMode ('driving' | 'driving-traffic' | 'walking' | 'cycling'): Specifies the mode of travel to be used for navigation (default is 'driving-traffic'):

  • 'driving': Standard automobile navigation that does not take live traffic conditions into account.
  • 'driving-traffic': Automobile navigation that considers current traffic conditions to avoid congestion.
  • 'walking': Navigation for pedestrians.
  • 'cycling': Navigation optimized for cyclists.

• mapStyle: renders custom mapstyle use mapbox style url generated from mapbox studio

• onRouteReady: returns polyline, distance and duriation
