react-mapsgl is a React wrapper for our MapsGL service and SDK, a Javascript SDK that allows you to easily customize and integrate a variety of high-quality, vector-based weather data, imagery, and visualizations into your applications and custom solutions.
MapsGL supports the following third-party mapping libraries:
- Mapbox (direct or via react-mapbox-gl)
- Maplibre
- Google Maps
- Leaflet
yarn add @aerisweather/react-mapsglES6 with react-mapbox-gl:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import ReactMapboxGL from 'react-mapbox-gl';
import * as mapsgl from '@aerisweather/mapsgl';
import ReactMapsGL, {
Timeline,
WeatherLayer,
DataInspector,
LegendControl
} from '@aerisweather/react-mapsgl';
import 'mapbox-gl/dist/mapbox-gl.css';
import '@aerisweather/mapsgl/dist/mapsgl.css';
// Mapbox factory
const Map = ReactMapboxGL({
accessToken: `MAPBOX_TOKEN`
});
// MapsGL factory
const MapController = ReactMapsGL({
accessKeys: {
id: `AERIS_CLIENT_ID`,
secret: `AERIS_CLIENT_SECRET`
}
});
interface Props {
center?: { lat: number; lon: number; };
zoom?: number;
}
const MapView = ({
center = { lat: 40, lon: -93 },
zoom = 3
}: Props): React.ReactElement => {
const [map, setMap] = useState<any>();
const [playing, setPlaying] = useState(false);
// store the Mapbox map reference when loaded so it can be provided to the MapsGL controller
const onMapLoad = (mapEl: any) => {
setMap(mapEl);
};
return (
<>
<Map
center={[center.lon, center.lat]}

onStyleLoad={onMapLoad}
style='mapbox://styles/mapbox/light-v9'
containerStyle={{
width: '800px',
height: '600px'
}}
>
<MapController strategy="mapbox" map={map}>
<Timeline
start={new Date(Date.now() - (3600 * 12 * 1000))}
duration={6}
isPlaying={playing}
onPlay={() => console.log('playing')}
onStop={() => console.log('stopped')}
/>
<DataInspector event="move" />
<LegendControl />
<WeatherLayer id="temperatures" quality={mapsgl.DataQuality.low} paint={{
sample: {
colorscale: {
interval: 1,
interpolate: false
}
}
}} />
<WeatherLayer id="wind-particles" />
</MapController>
</Map>
</>
);
};
export default MapView;The following example adds a custom GeoJSON data source and associated layers to the map, similar to the example from our documentation.

export default MapView;For basic examples of how to use React MapsGL with the different third-party mapping libraries currently supported, run the project under the /examples directory:
> cd ./examples
> yarn install
> yarn developYou will need to rename .env.txt to .env at the root of this repo and add the necessary AerisWeather and third-party mapping keys before running yarn develop.
Open the examples/src/index.ts file and swap out the rendered component based on your desired mapping library:
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import ReactMapboxMap from './ReactMapboxMap';
// import MapboxMap from './MapboxMap';
// import MaplibreMap from './MaplibreMap';
// import GoogleMap from './GoogleMap';
// import LeafletMap from './LeafletMap';
const container = document.querySelector('#app');
const root = createRoot(container!);
root.render(<ReactMapboxMap />);Since React MapsGL is written in Typescript, you can refer to the options interface corresponding to each component that's part of the library within the src/ directory (e.g. MapControllerOptions, DataInspectorControlOptions, LegendControlOptions and TimelineOptions) for the list of supported properties and their requirements.
Also refer to the MapsGL documentation for the complete usage documentation and information regarding working with and using MapsGL.
