React Google Maps API

react-google-maps-api

React Google Maps API 1.0.6

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

Main features

• 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/[email protected]
• forbids loading of Roboto fonts, if you set property preventGoogleFonts on <LoadScript preventGoogleFonts /> component

Examples

Examples can be found in two places:

1. Official docs (powered by docz). See the docs folder
2. A Gatsby app including some examples. See the examples folder
3. Gatsby.js Demo

Advise

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
