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

• create-react-app

  575 101,853 1.5 JavaScript

  Set up a modern web app by running one command.

  

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

• OneSDK

  14 45 4.4 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.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• google-maps-clone

  1 3 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.

• leaflet-defaulticon-compatibility

  1 85 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.

• leaflet-routing-machine

  3 1,036 4.2 JavaScript

  Control for routing in Leaflet

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

• Openstreetmap

  741 2,023 9.9 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.

• react-leaflet

  39 4,931 0.0 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.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• React

  The library for web and native user interfaces.

  

React with Create React App

• Nominatim

  35 2,875 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:

• Leaflet
