Creating a Map in React JS without using third-party API
In this article, we are going to create a React app which will show a map without any third-party API. You can edit the map's width and height, add markers to it, and do many more amazing things. We will use the pigeon-maps package to create the map. So, let's get started.
Example
First create a React project −
npx create-react-app tutorialpurpose
Now go to the project directory −
cd tutorialpurpose
Download the install the pigeon-maps package −
npm install --save pigeon-maps
We will use this package to add default maps which are downloaded with library inside the React project.
Add the following lines of code in App.js −
import React from "react";
import { Map, Marker } from "pigeon-maps";
export default function App() {
return (
<Map height={300} defaultCenter={[17.3850, 78.4867]} defaultZoom={11}>
<Marker width={50} anchor={[17.3850, 78.4867]} />
</Map>
);
}Explanation
This code block will create a map with a focus on defaultCenter and also define how much to zoom in.
Inside the Map component, we use the Marker to mark a given position.
Here, we have set the defaultCenter at Hyderabad, India, by supplying its geographical coordinates as arguments.
Output
On execution, it will produce the following output −
