# Google Map React &middot; [![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={'Kreyser Avrora'}
          />
        </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 ugly 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.

### 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.
