How to use fitBounds in react-google-map once you have bounds

Question

Where exactly do I call fitBounds or map.fitbounds. I am confused where to put it once I have the bounds or how to use it. I have set the bounds to a local state of bounds.

I have looked at this post here react-google-maps: how to use fitBounds, panBy, panTo, panToBounds public APIs? and either I just do it different or something because it does not make much since to me.

I have created a bounds const and then each time I make a marker I have added each of those to the bounds doing bounds.extends(Marker in here)

The code is a little messy so I will point out where I do this in it. Inside the filterItemsByRadius is where I create and set the bounds. At the end of the map function I think set the state of bounds to the bounds.

Answer 1

You can access fitBounds by adding a ref to the DOM element that google-maps-react generates.

first, add a ref: <GoogleMap ref={(ref) => { this.map = ref; }}>...</GoogleMap>

Once the component is mounted, you will be able to call fitBounds using the ref. this.map.fitBounds(bounds)

Answer 2

You can assign a ref to the GoogleMap Component, then call the fitBounds() function using a lifecycle hook.

import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react';
import { withScriptjs, withGoogleMap, GoogleMap, Marker } from "react-google-maps";
import { GOOGLE_API_KEY } from '../../config/config';


// =======================================================================
//  GOOGLE MAPS
// =======================================================================
const RegularMap = withScriptjs(
  withGoogleMap(
    ({ defaultCenter, markers }) => {
      const mapRef = useRef(null);

      // Fit bounds function
      const fitBounds = () => {
        const bounds = new window.google.maps.LatLngBounds();
        markers.map(item => {
          bounds.extend(item.position);
          return item.id
        });
        mapRef.current.fitBounds(bounds);
      };

      // Fit bounds on mount, and when the markers change
      useEffect(() => {
        fitBounds();
      }, [markers]);


      return (
        <GoogleMap ref={mapRef} defaultCenter={defaultCenter}>
          {markers.map(
            ({ position }, index) => <Marker key={`marker_${index}`} position={position} />
          )}
        </GoogleMap>
      );
    })
);


// =======================================================================
//  THE MAIN COMPONENT
// =======================================================================

const MapView = () => {
  const markers = [
    { position: { lat: 37.778519, lng: -122.405640 } },
    { position: { lat: 6.4454594, lng: 3.449074 } }
  ];

  return (
      <RegularMap
        defaultCenter={{ lat: 6.4454594, lng: 3.449074 }}
        markers={markers}
        googleMapURL={`https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=${GOOGLE_API_KEY}`}
        loadingElement={<div className="loader" />}
        containerElement={<div className="mapContainer" style={{ height: "400px" }} />}
        mapElement={<div className="map" style={{ height: '100%' }} />}
      />
  );
}

export default MapView;
