Interactive Mapping in React with Leaflet

bookUsing react-leaflet Components

When building interactive maps in React, the react-leaflet library provides a set of components that let you describe your map in a declarative way. The two most essential components are MapContainer and TileLayer. You use these to define where your map appears, what area it shows, and how it looks.

The MapContainer component acts as the root for your map. It creates the Leaflet map instance and sets its initial state. You control the map's position and zoom level by passing the center and zoom props. The center prop expects an array of latitude and longitude values, such as [51.505, -0.09], while the zoom prop takes a number that sets the initial zoom level.

Inside MapContainer, you add one or more TileLayer components. A TileLayer tells the map where to fetch its visual tiles from. The most important prop for TileLayer is url, which points to a tile server like OpenStreetMap or another provider. You can also use the attribution prop to display map data credits, as required by most tile services.

By adjusting the props on MapContainer and TileLayer, you control the map's center, zoom, and visual style. This approach makes it easy to update the map's display by changing React state or props, keeping your UI predictable and in sync with your data.
