Google Maps library that accepts markers as react components and works with React 18+.
It supports a small set of the props of Google Map React. Clustering also is possible. The library implements Google Maps Custom Overlays official library.
If you like this library, please consider supporting me ❤️
Released TypeScript version of the library!
Feedbacks are welcome in this discussion.
See it in action here (API KEY not provided).
Demo source code is available here.

children | node | no | null |
Markers of the map |
loadScriptExternally | bool | no | false |
Whether to load the Google Maps script externally. If true , the status prop is required and it will be used to control the loading of the script |
status | string | no | idle |
The forced status of the Google Maps script. Depends on loadScriptExternally .It can be one of idle , loading , ready , error |
loadingContent | node | no | 'Google Maps is loading' |
Content to show while the map is loading |
idleContent | node | no | 'Google Maps is on idle' |
Content to show when the map is idle |

Optional params to pass to the Google API script. Eg. {region: 'IT', language: 'it'} |
Prop | Type | Required | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
lat | number | yes | undefined |
Latitude of the marker |
lng | number | yes | undefined |
Longitude of the marker |
draggable | bool | no | false |
If true, the marker can be dragged |
onDragStart | func | no | () => {} |
This event is fired when the user starts dragging the marker |
onDrag | func | no | () => {} |
This event is repeatedly fired while the user drags the marker |
onDragEnd | func | no | () => {} |
This event is fired when the user stops dragging the marker |
For clustering, follow this guide using useSupercluster Hook, but use bounds in this way:
const [mapBounds, setMapBounds] = useState({
bounds: [0, 0, 0, 0],
zoom: 0,
})
const onMapChange = ({ bounds, zoom }) => {
const ne = bounds.getNorthEast()
const sw = bounds.getSouthWest()
/**
* useSupercluster accepts bounds in the form of [westLng, southLat, eastLng, northLat]
* const { clusters, supercluster } = useSupercluster({
* points: points,
* bounds: mapBounds.bounds,
* zoom: mapBounds.zoom,
* })
*/
setMapBounds({ ...mapBounds, bounds: [sw.lng(), sw.lat(), ne.lng(), ne.lat()], zoom })
}
To run the project locally, clone the repo and run:
# in the root directory
yarn install
# in another tab (with NextJS and SSR)
cd docs
yarn install
yarn dev
Do your changes to src/
or docs/src
directory, commits all files in the root directory (yarn.lock
and ones in dist
too) and open a PR.
