Mapbox Vector Maps in React Apps

bookResponsive Map Containers

When you add a Mapbox map to your React app, making sure it looks good and works well on all devices is essential. Responsive design ensures your map container adjusts its size to fit any screen, whether it's a desktop, tablet, or phone.

Using CSS, you can set the map container to take up a flexible width and height. For example, you might set the container's width to 100% and use height: 400px for a fixed height, or use viewport units like height: 50vh to make the map fill half the screen height.

React best practices suggest keeping your layout flexible by using CSS classes or styled-components, and by avoiding hardcoded pixel values when possible. Wrapping your map in a flexbox or grid layout can also help it resize smoothly alongside other UI elements.

Always ensure the parent element of your map container has a defined height, as Mapbox GL JS needs this to render the map correctly.

Note
Definition

Container sizing is crucial for Mapbox GL JS because the library renders maps using WebGL directly into the container element. If the container’s height or width is not set, the map may not appear at all, or it may render incorrectly. Proper sizing ensures the map displays and updates responsively as the browser window or device orientation changes.
