react-native-maps-directions

Directions component for react-native-maps – Draw a route between two coordinates, powered by the Google Maps Directions API

Installation

yarn add react-native-maps-directions

Basic Usage

Import MapViewDirections and render it as a child of a MapView component. The mandatory MapViewDirections props are:

• origin: The coordinate of the origin location
• destination: The coordinate of the destination location
• apikey: Your Google Maps API Key (request one here).

import MapViewDirections from 'react-native-maps-directions';

const origin = {latitude: 37.3318456, longitude: -122.0296002};
const destination = {latitude: 37.771707, longitude: -122.4053769};
const GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY = '…';

<MapView initialRegion={…}>
  <MapViewDirections
    origin={origin}
    destination={destination}
    apikey={GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY}
  />
</MapView>

Once the directions in between destination and origin has been fetched, a MapView.Polyline between the two will be drawn.

Component API

Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Note |---|---|---|---| | origin | LatLng or String | | The origin location. | destination | LatLng or String | | The destination location. | apikey | String | | Your Google Maps API Key (request one here). | waypoints | [LatLng or String] | | Array of waypoints to use between origin and destination. | language | String | "en" | The language to use when calculating directions. See here for more info. | mode | String | "driving" | Which transportation mode to use when calculating directions. Allowed values are "driving", "bicycling", "walking", and "transit". (See here for more info).

More props

Since the result rendered on screen is a MapView.Polyline component, all MapView.Polyline props – except for coordinates – are also accepted.

<MapView initialRegion={…}>
  <MapViewDirections
    origin={origin}
    destination={destination}
    apikey={GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY}
    strokeWidth={3}
    strokeColor="hotpink"
  />
</MapView>

An extra note on origin and destination

origin and destination can be coordinates in the form of objects with latitude and longitude keys, or coordinates in the form of a string in the format 'latitude,longitude'.

<MapViewDirections origin={{ latitude: 37.3317876, longitude: -122.0054812 }} … />
<MapViewDirections origin="37.3317876,-122.0054812" … />

Additionally origin and destination can also be location names. The Google Directions API will translate those to coordinates for you.

<MapViewDirections origin="Apple Park Visitor Center, Cupertino, CA, USA" … />

Don't forget to tweak the language prop when using localized location names.

Events/Callbacks

| Event Name | Returns | Notes |---|---|---| | onReady | { distance: Number, duration: Number, coordinates: [] } | Callback that is called when the routing has been calculated. | onError | errorMessage | Callback that is called in case the routing has failed.

Extended Example

This example will draw a route between AirBnB's Office and Apple's HQ

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Dimensions, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import MapView from 'react-native-maps';
import MapViewDirections from 'react-native-maps-directions';

const { width, height } = Dimensions.get('window');
const ASPECT_RATIO = width / height;
const LATITUDE = 37.771707;
const LONGITUDE = -122.4053769;
const LATITUDE_DELTA = 0.0922;
const LONGITUDE_DELTA = LATITUDE_DELTA * ASPECT_RATIO;

const GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY = '…';

              // console.log('GOT AN ERROR');
            }}
          />
        )}
      </MapView>
