# Google Map React · [![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/google-map-react.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/google-map-react) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/google-map-react/google-map-react.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/google-map-react/google-map-react) [![PRs Welcome](https://img.shields.io/badge/PRs-welcome-brightgreen.svg)](github.com/google-map-react/google-map-react/CONTRIBUTING.md)

`google-map-react` is a component written over a small set of the [Google Maps API](https://developers.google.com/maps/). It allows you to render any React component on the Google Map. It is fully isomorphic and can render on a server. Additionally, it can render map components in the browser even if the Google Maps API is not loaded. It uses an internal, tweakable hover algorithm - every object on the map can be hovered.

It allows you to create interfaces like this [example](http://google-map-react.github.io/google-map-react/map/main) *(You can scroll the table, zoom/move the map, hover/click on markers, and click on table rows)*

## Getting started

In the simple case you just need to add `lat` and `lng` props to any child of `GoogleMapReact` component.

[See it in action at jsbin](https://jsbin.com/ruwogapuke/1/edit?js,output)

```javascript
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import GoogleMapReact from 'google-map-react';

const AnyReactComponent = ({ text }) => <div>{text}</div>;

class SimpleMap extends Component {
  static defaultProps = {
    center: {
      lat: 59.95,
      lng: 30.33
    },
    zoom: 11
  };

  render() {
    return (
      // Important! Always set the container height explicitly
      <div style={{ height: '100vh', width: '100%' }}>
        <GoogleMapReact
          bootstrapURLKeys={{ key: /* YOUR KEY HERE */ }}
          defaultCenter={this.props.center}
          defaultZoom={this.props.zoom}
        >
          <AnyReactComponent
            lat={59.955413}
            lng={30.337844}
            text="My Marker"
          />
        </GoogleMapReact>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default SimpleMap;
```

### My map doesn't appear!

- Make sure the container element has width and height. The map will try to fill the parent container, but if the container has no size, the map will collapse to 0 width / height. This is not a requirement for google-map-react, [its a requirement for google-maps in general](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial).


## Installation

npm:
```
npm install --save google-map-react
```

yarn:
```
yarn add google-map-react
```

## Features

### Works with your Components

Instead of the default Google Maps markers, balloons and other map components, you can render your cool animated react components on the map.

### Isomorphic Rendering

It renders on the server. *(Welcome search engines)* *(you can disable javascript in browser dev tools, and reload any example page to see how it works)*

### Component Positions Calculated Independently of Google Maps API

It renders components on the map before (and even without) the Google Maps API loaded.

### Google Maps API Loads on Demand

There is no need to place a `<script src=` tag at top of page. The Google Maps API loads upon the first usage of the `GoogleMapReact` component.

### Use Google Maps API 

You can access to Google Maps `map` and `maps` objects by using `onGoogleApiLoaded`, in this case you will need to set `yesIWantToUseGoogleMapApiInternals` to `true`

```javascript
...

const handleApiLoaded = (map, maps) => {
  // use map and maps objects
};

...

<GoogleMapReact
  bootstrapURLKeys={{ key: /* YOUR KEY HERE */ }}
  defaultCenter={this.props.center}
  defaultZoom={this.props.zoom}
  yesIWantToUseGoogleMapApiInternals
  onGoogleApiLoaded={({ map, maps }) => handleApiLoaded(map, maps)}
>
  <AnyReactComponent
    lat={59.955413}
    lng={30.337844}
    text="My Marker"
  />
</GoogleMapReact>
```

PST: Remember to set `yesIWantToUseGoogleMapApiInternals` to true.

[Example here](https://github.com/google-map-react/google-map-react-examples/blob/master/src/examples/Main.js#L69)

### Internal Hover Algorithm

Now every object on the map can be hovered (however, you can still use css hover selectors if you want). If you try zooming out here [example](http://google-map-react.github.io/google-map-react/map/main), you will still be able to hover on almost every map marker.

## Contribute

Local development is broken into two parts (ideally using two tabs).

First, run rollup to watch your `src/` module and automatically recompile it into `dist/` whenever you make changes.

```bash
npm start # runs rollup with watch flag
```

The second part will be running the `example/` create-react-app that's linked to the local version of your module.

```bash
# (in another tab)
cd example
npm start # runs create-react-app dev server
```

Now, anytime you make a change to your library in `src/` or to the example app's `example/src`, `create-react-app` will live-reload your local dev server so you can iterate on your component in real-time.

### Manual link-install
If you get the error `Module not found: Can't resolve 'google-react-map'...` while trying to run the example app, you need to manually link your local development module, try the following steps:
  1. In the root folder:
  ```bash
  npm link
  ```
  2. Go into `example/` and (after installing other dependencies) execute:
  ```bash
  npm link google-map-react
  ```

## Known Issues

* Older browsers (http://caniuse.com/#feat=promises) will need a ES6 Promise polyfill in order to work.
