🚧 The package is currently under development.

You can use this package and experiment with it but major changes may be introduced in future versions.

React - Give Me Map

Give-Me-Map is a library that allows you to add content on a map easily. Using Mapbox as an underlying map provider. The main features:

• ✨ Simple to use
• 🎨 Support many marker types
• 💡 Create your content in JSON or draw your map on Mapheim and export it
• 📦 Still Provides access to all underlying Mapbox API

Installation

Assuming you have react and react-dom packages already installed, you need to only install the following packages:

npm i react-give-me-map mapbox-gl react-map-gl

Example

Below you can see a demo created through Mapheim - a map about a running race event in Norway. You can also see a live demo on https://mapheim.com/fjellseterlopet.

Usage

Adding a map

A minimal map to be loaded into your application may look like the code below. This will include the map with a default location and style and without any markers (content).

import * as React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import { GiveMeMap } from 'react-give-me-map';

function App() {
    const [viewport, setViewport] = React.useState({
        latitude: 55.15,
        longitude: 15.02,
        zoom: 4.4
    });

  return (
    <GiveMeMap
      map={{
          mapboxAccessToken: '<MAPBOX_TOKEN_HERE>',
          longitude: viewport.longitude,
          latitude: viewport.latitude,
          zoom: viewport.zoom,
          onMove: (v) => {
            setViewport({
              latitude: v.viewState.latitude,
              longitude: v.viewState.longitude,
              zoom: v.viewState.zoom
            })
          },
          style: {
            width: 1000,
            height: 400
          },
      }}
      config={{
        availableStyles: ['mapbox://styles/koudelka/cl6gs87ey002l15o9gnp7opx7']
      }}
    />)
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector('#root'))

Adding markers

Manually

To add markers to your map, add a markers parameter and fill it with the right data. An example marker can be seen below:

  const imageMarker: IImageWorldMarker = {
    id: '1',
    lat: 55,
    lng: 16,
    elementType: 'image',
    elementData: {
      src: 'https://relive-story-static-content-email.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/logo.png',
    }
  }

  <GiveMeMap
    // ...otherAttributes
    markers={[imageMarker]}
  />

Using Mapheim

A nice alternative, and more user friendly is to use Mapheim editor on https://www.mapheim.com/world where you can instantly create a new map and either use your map hosted directly on Mapheim platform, or you can export the marker in a JSON format. And include it as a JSON/variable in your code. See below how to find the export functionality in two steps:
