# Upgrade Guide ## Upgrading to v3.2 - The latest mapbox-gl release requires stylesheet to be included at all times. See [Get Started](/docs/get-started/get-started.md) for information about styling. - Immutable.js is no longer a hard dependency and will be removed in the next major release. If you are importing immutable in your application, it is recommended that you explicitly list it in the application's dependencies. ## Upgrading to v3 v3 is a major upgrade of react-map-gl. While we have tried to gently deprecated any changed or removed features, a few breaking changes could not be avoided. ### Version Requirements - The **Node Version Requirement** for **building** react-map-gl is now **>=v6.4.0**. Using prebuilt react-map-gl does **NOT** has this limitation. This is introduced by [Mapbox GL JS v0.38.0](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/releases/tag/v0.38.0) ### MapGL Component * **Two Map Components** - v3 now splits the Map component into two React components: `StaticMap` and `InteractiveMap`. `InteractiveMap` is the default export, and designed to be as compatible as possible with the v2 default component. #### `onChangeViewport` callback now includes `width` and `height`. The `viewport` parameter passed to the `onChangeViewport` callback now includes `width` and `height`. Application code that composed the `viewport` with `width` and `height` may have to be updated. Please double check your render code if you relied on this behavior. ```js // BAD: 'width' and 'height' below will be overridden by what's in the 'viewport' object // GOOD: 'width' and 'height' below will override the values in 'viewport' ``` ### Overlays * **Some Overlays Moved to Examples** - Some less frequently used overlays (`DraggablePointsOverlay`, `ChoroplethOverlay`, `ScatterplotOverlay`), have been moved to examples. Most users are now using mapbox styles or deck.gl layers and removing these overlays reduces the size of the react-map-gl library for the majority of users that don't need them. If you still use them, simply copy the overlay source file(s) into your application. * **Overlays must be Children of the Map** - Overlays **must** now be rendered as children of the main `react-map-gl` component to automatically sync with the map viewport. ### `fitBounds` utility function The `fitBounds` utility has been moved to the [viewport-mercator-project](https://github.com/uber-common/viewport-mercator-project) library. The function can now be called as follows: ```js import WebMercatorViewport from 'viewport-mercator-project'; const viewport = new WebMercatorViewport({width: 600, height: 400}); const bound = viewport.fitBounds( [[-73.9876, 40.7661], [-72.9876, 41.7661]], {padding: 20, offset: [0, -40]} ); // => bounds: instance of WebMercatorViewport // {longitude: -73.48760000000007, latitude: 41.268014439447484, zoom: 7.209231188444142} ``` ### Deprecations We have started to deprecate a few React props. In all the cases below, the old `props` will still work (you'll get a warning in the console), but they will likely be removed in the next major version of react-map-gl so you should start using the new `props` as soon as possible. | Old Prop | New Prop | | --- | --- | | `onChangeViewport()` | `onViewportChange()` | | `onHoverFeatures()` | `onHover()` | | `onClickFeatures()` | `onClick()` | | `perspectiveEnabled [default: false]` | `dragRotate [default: true]` | ## Upgrading to v2 v2 is API compatible with v1, however if you are still using `v1` of react-map-gl, make sure that you first upgrade: * Your `node` version to `v4` or higher * Your `react` version to `15.4` or higher. Background: `mapbox-gl` 0.31.0 introduced a hard dependency on Node >= v4. ## Upgrading to v1 (Upgrading from 0.6.x) * **Importing Overlays** - The map overlay components (`HTMLOverlay`, `CanvasOverlay`, `SVGOverlay` etc) are now named exports. They previously had to be imported via their relative source paths: ```js // v1.0 import MapGL, {SVGOverlay} from 'react-map-gl'; // v0.6 import MapGL from 'react-map-gl'; import SVGOverlay from 'react-map-gl/src/overlays/svg-overlay';. ``` * **Map State** - The map state reported by `onViewportChanged` will now contain additional state fields (tracking not only `pitch` and `bearing` needed for perspective mode, but also transient information about how the projection is being changed by the user). * This information must be passed back to the react-map-gl component in the next render. * To simplify and future proof applications, it is recommended to simply save the entire `mapState` in your app store whenever it changes and then pass it back to the component rather than trying to keep track of individual fields (like `longitude`, `latitude` and `zoom`).
