ReactMapboxGL

Factory function that returns a React Mapbox component. Parameters of the factory function are static; properties of your component are dynamic and get updated if they change between rendering.

Pre-requirement

You will need a CSS loader to use this library as it injects mapbox-gl css.

How to use

import ReactMapboxGl from "react-mapbox-gl";

...

const Map = ReactMapboxGl({
  accessToken: "pk.eyJ1IjoiZmFicmljOCIsImEiOiJjaWc5aTV1ZzUwMDJwdzJrb2w0dXRmc2d0In0.p6GGlfyV-WksaDV_KdN27A"
});

<Map style="mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v8"/>

Factory parameters

accessToken (required) : string Mapbox access token.
apiUrl: string Define a custom URL to fetch the vector tiles.
minZoom (Default: 0): number Minimum zoom level. Must be between 0 and 20.
maxZoom (Default: 20): number Maximum zoom level. Must be between 0 and 20.
scrollZoom (Default: true): boolean See mapbox scrollZoom
hash (Default: false): boolean, See mapbox doc
preserveDrawingBuffer (Default: false): boolean, See mapbox doc
interactive (Default: true): boolean Set to false to disable interaction with the map.
attributionControl (Default: true): boolean Set to false to remove the attribution on the map.
customAttribution: string | string[] String or strings to show in an AttributionControl. Only applicable if attributionControl option is set to true.
logoPosition (Default: bottom-left): string Set the position of the mapbox logo. Possible values:
- top-left
- top-right
- bottom-right
- bottom-left
renderWorldCopies (Default: true): boolean If true, multiple copies of the world will be rendered, when zoomed out.
dragRotate (Default: true): boolean Set to false to disable drag rotation, see mapbox DragRotateHandler
pitchWithRotate (Default: true): boolean Set to false to disable pitch with rotation, see mapbox PitchWithRotate
trackResize (Default: true): boolean If true, the map will automatically resize when the browser window resizes.
touchZoomRotate (Default: true): boolean If true, the "pinch to rotate and zoom" interaction is enabled. An Object value is passed as options to TouchZoomRotateHandler#enable .
doubleClickZoom (Default: true): boolean If true, the "double click to zoom" interaction is enabled (see DoubleClickZoomHandler).
keyboard (Default: true): boolean If true , keyboard shortcuts are enabled (see KeyboardHandler).
dragPan (Default: true): boolean If true , the "drag to pan" interaction is enabled (see DragPanHandler).
refreshExpiredTiles (Default: true): boolean If false , the map won't attempt to re-request tiles once they expire per their HTTP cacheControl / expires headers.
failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat (Default: false): boolean If true , map creation will fail if the performance of Mapbox GL JS would be dramatically worse than expected (i.e. a software renderer would be used).
bearingSnap (Default: 7): number The threshold, measured in degrees, that determines when the map's bearing (rotation) will snap to north. For example, with a bearingSnap of 7, if the user rotates the map within 7 degrees of north, the map will automatically snap to exact north.
antialias (Default: false): boolean If true, the gl context will be created with MSA antialiasing, which can be useful for antialiasing custom layers. This is false by default as a performance optimization.

Component Properties

style (required) : string | object Mapbox map style, if changed, the style will be updated using setStyle.
onStyleLoad: (map, loadEvent) => void called with the Mapbox Map instance when the load event is fired. You can use the callback's first argument to then interact with the Mapbox API.

- Must be in longitude, latitude coordinate order (as opposed to latitude, longitude) to match GeoJSON (source: https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/#lnglat).
- Re-center the map if the value change regarding the prev value or the actual center position flyTo
zoom (Default: [11]): [number] Zoom level of the map at initialisation wrapped in an array.
- Check for reference equality between the previous value of zoom and the new one in order to update it or not.

renderChildrenInPortal : boolean If true, Popup and Marker elements will be rendered in a React portal, allowing mouse events to pass through them.

Events

All mapbox map events are implemented in this library, see events section on mapbox documentation api. All the events have the following signature (map: Mapbox.Map, evt: React.SyntheticEvent<any>) => void.

The event names are written in camelCase:

const events = {
  // Triggered when style of the map has loaded
  onStyleLoad,

  // mapbox-gl events
  onResize: 'resize',
  onDblClick: 'dblclick',
  onClick: 'click',
  onMouseMove: 'mousemove',
  onMouseOut: 'mouseout',
  onMoveStart: 'movestart',
  onMove: 'move',
  onMoveEnd: 'moveend',
  onMouseUp: 'mouseup',
  onMouseDown: 'mousedown',
  onDragStart: 'dragstart',
  onDrag: 'drag',
  onDragEnd: 'dragend',
  onZoomStart: 'zoomstart',
  onZoom: 'zoom',
  onZoomEnd: 'zoomend',
  onPitch: 'pitch',
  onPitchStart: 'pitchstart',
  onPitchEnd: 'pitchend',
  onWebGlContextLost: 'webglcontextlost',
  onWebGlContextRestored: 'webglcontextrestored',
  onRemove: 'remove',
  onContextMenu: 'contextmenu',
  onRender: 'render',
  onError: 'error',
  onSourceData: 'sourcedata',
  onDataLoading: 'dataloading',
  onStyleDataLoading: 'styledataloading',
  onStyleImageMissing: 'styleimagemissing',
  onTouchCancel: 'touchcancel',
  onData: 'data',
  onSourceDataLoading: 'sourcedataloading',
  onTouchMove: 'touchmove',
  onTouchEnd: 'touchend',
  onTouchStart: 'touchstart',
  onStyleData: 'styledata',
  onBoxZoomStart: 'boxzoomstart',
  onBoxZoomEnd: 'boxzoomend',
  onBoxZoomCancel: 'boxzoomcancel',
  onRotateStart: 'rotatestart',
  onRotate: 'rotate',
  onRotateEnd: 'rotateend'
};

Note: You can check whether onZoomEnd has been triggered by changed some Map property (contrary to being triggered by user interaction like dragging), by checking fitboundUpdate extra event data, like so:

<Map
  onZoomEnd={(_, event) => {
    if (event.fitboundUpdate) {
      console.log('Map bounds have been programmatically changed')
    } else {
      console.log('Map bounds have been changed by user interaction')
    }
  }}
/>

Layer

Creates a new Mapbox layer and creates all the sources depending on the child Feature components. Layer also creates a source if no sourceId is passed.

If you change the value of the paint or the layout property of the layer, it will automatically update this property using setPaintProperty or setLayoutProperty respectively.

Only works with the first depth of the object.

  layout={{ "icon-image": "harbor-15" }}>
</Layer>

- fill, Include a Mapbox polygon (Fill GeoJson)
- circle, Include a Mapbox circle (Point GeoJson)

sourceId: string When passed to the layer, the source will not be created but only the layer and it will use the given source id.
before: string Pass the id of a layer, it will display the current layer before the layer defined by the id. mapbox api
images: [imageKey: string, image: HTMLImageElement, options: object] Also accepts array of the previous image tuple. Add images for use in layout with prop icon-image. The value should be the imageKey string of the tuple. Alternatively, use mapbox studio to upload the image, it will be fetched with the map style object. (see map.addImage options for the tuple options).

Using the original Mapbox API

Sometimes, react-mapbox-gl hasn't wrapped all of the functionality you need. In that case, you might want to access the original mapbox-gl-js API.

For this, there are two options:

onStyleLoad

onStyleLoad property on the component. The callback function will receive the map object as a first argument, then you can add your own logic alongside react-mapbox-gl.

Context API

Arguably the nicer way to do this is to use the React context, which v4 added support for. You can grab the Map instance from the context anywhere within the <Map /> component.

import ReactMapboxGL, { MapContext } from 'react-mapbox-gl';

const Map = ReactMapboxGL({ /* factory options */ });

const MyMap = () => (
  <Map style="your-style-here">
    <MapContext.Consumer>
      {(map) => {
        // use `map` here
      }}
    </MapContext.Consumer>
  </Map>
);
