react-leaflet VS create-react-app

30.react-leaflet

Check out React Leaflet https://react-leaflet.js.org/

But in the case of React Leaflet, you may need to put in some more efforts.

You might wanna check out Leaflet (https://leafletjs.com/) which is a free, open-source library for interactive maps. Combine that with React-Leaflet (https://react-leaflet.js.org/) for seamless React integration. You can find Pond/Lake GeoJSON data at https://gis.mass.gov/ and load it into your map to make it interactive. Good luck!

Leaflet has many official and third party plugins and wrappers. Since we’re using React, we can use React Leaflet which provides components for rendering Leaflet maps in React.

Do you need to just make an image that looks like a map, or do you need to make an actual map (i.e. derived from spatial data)? I think leaflet is still the go to OSS webmap library, and will do hexbins. It has a react version.

React-leaflet (and Leaflet.js) library (link)

I wanted to update the react-leaflet version in my project. On the github and npm page for the package it says the latest version is 4.2 https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-leaflet. When I ran an npm update react-leaflet it updated the version from 3.0.1 to 3.2.5. Why isn't it 4.2?

Immerse yourself in the official Create React App documentation for a deeper understanding.

Create React App (https://create-react-app.dev/)

- And ofc, there are some templates/frameworks that bring something of that together (https://create-react-app.dev/; maybe https://vitejs.dev/) - google for templates.

I recommend finding some friend with modern experience or at least some youtube tutorials or at least some learning course. That would help you to catch up on the best way to bootstrap your first project. Then you can practice.

What's the connection?
