Let's build a Google Maps clone with React, Leaflet, and OneSDK

1. create-react-app

   1 603 103,154 6.8 JavaScript

   Set up a modern web app by running one command.

   

   Let’s start by creating an empty React project (using create-react-app):

2. Civic Auth

   www.civic.com featured

   Auth in Less Than 5 Minutes. Civic Auth comes with multiple SSO options, optional embedded wallets, and user management — all implemented with just a few lines of code. Start building today.

   

3. OneSDK

   2 15 48 3.0 TypeScript

   1️⃣ One Node.js SDK for all the APIs you want to integrate with

   

   We will use React and React Leaflet on the frontend, and Node.js, Express.js, and Superface OneSDK on the backend.

4. google-maps-clone

   3 1 6 5.0 JavaScript

   Let's build a basic Google Maps clone! Complementary code to the tutorial.

   

   In this tutorial, we have learned how to create a Google Maps-like application using Leaflet and React. We've utilized Geolocation API to identify location coordinates and place markers, as well as creating a route between two different locations. You can find the final project on GitHub.

5. leaflet-defaulticon-compatibility

   4 1 93 3.2 JavaScript

   Retrieve all Leaflet Default Icon options from CSS, in particular all icon images URL's, to improve compatibility with bundlers and frameworks that modify URL's in CSS.

   

   First install leaflet, react-leaflet and leaflet-defaulticon-compatibility. The last package fixes compatibility with Webpack bundler (used by create-react-app) to correctly load images from Leaflet's package.

6. leaflet-routing-machine

   5 4 1,115 4.2 JavaScript

   Control for routing in Leaflet

   

   There are many plugins that we can use. I will go with Leaflet Routing Machine.

7. Openstreetmap

   6 770 2,342 10.0 Ruby

   The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap

   

   To add a map component, you have many options, like Google Maps or Mapbox, but these are not free. We will use Leaflet, an open-source JavaScript library. With Leaflet, you can easily create interactive maps and add markers, pop-ups, and other types of data visualizations. Leaflet support various providers for map assets, but we will stick with the default, OpenStreetMap.

8. react-leaflet

   7 40 5,316 5.3 TypeScript

   React components for Leaflet maps

   

   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.

9. InfluxDB

   influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

   

10. React

    8 1,928 234,662 9.9 JavaScript

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

    

    React with Create React App

11. Nominatim

    9 37 3,473 9.5 Python

    Open Source search based on OpenStreetMap data

    

    Then implement a use case. We are going to use Geocoding use case with Nominatim provider. But you can, of course, use a different provider. Copy the example code into your server.js file and make a few changes, so we can send the information we will receive from the user:

12. Leaflet

    10 234 42,546 8.5 JavaScript

    🍃 JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps 🇺🇦

    

    To add a map component, you have many options, like Google Maps or Mapbox, but these are not free. We will use Leaflet, an open-source JavaScript library. With Leaflet, you can easily create interactive maps and add markers, pop-ups, and other types of data visualizations. Leaflet support various providers for map assets, but we will stick with the default, OpenStreetMap.

13. Font-Awesome

    11 222 74,956 5.3 JavaScript

    The iconic SVG, font, and CSS toolkit

    

    Additionally, I am going to use Font Awesome to add icons to our project. This will make it visually appealing and add to its overall design:

14. Express

    12 773 66,770 9.0 JavaScript

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

    

    Express for backend
