React wrapper of mapbox-gl-js which bring the API to a react friendly way. On top of the layers provided, react-mapbox-gl add some React rendered layers, projected using map.project.

Include the following elements:

• ReactMapboxGl
• Layer
• Source
• Feature
  • Layer type properties symbol display a mapbox symbol.
  • Layer type properties line display a lineString.
  • Layer type properties fill display a polygon.
  • Layer type properties circle display a mapbox circle.
• GeoJSONLayer
• ZoomControl
• ScaleControl
• Marker (Projected component)
• Popup (Projected component)
• Cluster

The source files are written in Typescript, you can consume the compiled files in Javascript or Typescript and get the type definition files.

Mapbox-gl expose a map rendered in a canvas using WebGl which mean:

• Vector tiles
• Fast rendering
• Smooth transitions
• Data on the client side (interact with anything on the map)
• Highly customizable using mapbox studio
• Considerable bundle size

Details of all the features exposed: mapbox-gl-js

npm install react-mapbox-gl --save

Example:

// ES6
import ReactMapboxGl, { Layer, Feature } from "react-mapbox-gl";

// ES5
var ReactMapboxGl = require("react-mapbox-gl");
var Layer = ReactMapboxGl.Layer;
var Feature = ReactMapboxGl.Feature;

<ReactMapboxGl
  style="mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v8"
  accessToken="pk.eyJ1IjoiZmFicmljOCIsImEiOiJjaWc5aTV1ZzUwMDJwdzJrb2w0dXRmc2d0In0.p6GGlfyV-WksaDV_KdN27A"
  containerStyle={{
    height: "100vh",
    width: "100vw"
  }}>
    <Layer
      type="symbol"
      id="marker"
      layout={{ "icon-image": "marker-15" }}>
      <Feature coordinates={[-0.481747846041145, 51.3233379650232]}/>
    </Layer>
</ReactMapboxGl>

The zoom property is an array on purpose. With a float as a value we can't tell whether the zoom has changed when checking for value equality 7 === 7 // true. We changed it to an array so that between 2 render it check for a reference equality [7] === [7] // false, this way we can reliably update the zoom value.
