How to Update the Location of Google Map in React

Integrating Google Maps into your React application can significantly enhance user experience. However, you might encounter issues when trying to update the map's location dynamically based on user inputs or state changes. In this article, we will explore how to effectively update the location of a Google Map in React, ensuring that your map reflects the latest coordinates.

The Problem at Hand

When building a React component that displays a Google Map, it's common to pass coordinates (latitude and longitude) as props from a main component to the map component. In some cases, while the coordinates seem to update correctly, the map may not refresh as expected, resulting in a blank or empty map.

Key Symptoms

The coordinates update correctly in the main component.

The map component receives the new coordinates.

The map does not display the updated location, appearing blank.

The Solution: Using React Hooks

The best way to ensure that your Google Map reflects updated coordinates is to utilize React hooks, specifically useState and useEffect. This approach allows your component to respond to changes in props and re-render the map accordingly.

Step-by-Step Guide

Initialize State with Props:
Use the useState hook to initialize your component's coordinates with the props that are passed down from the main component.

Update State on Prop Change:
Utilize the useEffect hook to monitor changes in the incoming props. When the props change, use the setter function returned by useState to update the coordinates.

Render the Map:
Inside your map component, render the GoogleMapReact component with updated coordinates.

Updated Code Example

Here's an updated example illustrating how to implement these concepts:

Explanation of the Code

useState: This defines a state variable coordinates initialized with the incoming props. As props are passed down from the main component, the map will have a starting point.

useEffect: The function inside useEffect runs every time the component receives new props, updating the state variable coordinates accordingly. This triggers a re-render of the component.

Rendering the Map: Finally, the GoogleMapReact component is rendered, using the updated coordinates to set the center of the map, along with a custom marker.

Conclusion

Using React hooks like useState and useEffect provides a straightforward solution to dynamically update the location on your Google Map. By employing these practices, you can ensure a smooth and engaging experience for users interacting with the map.

Now, whether your coordinates update due to user actions or changes in your application's state, your map will always reflect the current location seamlessly!
