Overview
React Maptalks provide a way to use Maptalks library in your react project. It do not replace Maptalks, instead make an abstraction of it objects like layers, handlers an containers to create components and hooks for React.
How it works
To know how it works React Maptalks, we has divided in this concepts:
Rendering
React Maptalks does not render the Maptalks elements to the DOM, just render a div container for instantiate the map an other elements inside them. The render work is done by Maptalks library directly.
Element ref
When you use a React Maptalks component, it instantiate internally the associated maptalks object and you can get access to this instance by passing a get function that you will see later in this documentation.
Map element types
In a map instance you can have two element type:
Geography element
Reprecent spatial entities like points, lines, polygons and markers, or sets of this like a Vector layer.
Decorator element
It Dont reprecent spatial data, just is used by displaying additional information of the geography element like the info window an tooltips. It should be noted that unlike to ui elements, it have associated a geography position inherit from geography element that its decorating.
Context
React Maptalks create a general context for map instance and other particular contexts for geography elements inside the map. In this way its possible to relate a geography element with its children, for example a Vector Layer with its geometries, or a geometry with its tooltip.
Events
React Maptalks abstracts the event interaction by ussing custom hooks that have expossed for the user.
