# iOS API Docs ## Access token The first thing you need to do before using the map is getting a Mapbox access token by [signing up to a Mapbox account](https://www.mapbox.com/signup). Then, make sure you run this before mounting any `MapView`s: ```javascript import Mapbox from 'react-native-mapbox-gl'; Mapbox.setAccessToken('your-mapbox.com-access-token'); ``` ## Props Import the component to use it: ```jsx import { MapView } from 'react-native-mapbox-gl'; ``` | Prop | Type | Required | Description | Default | |---|---|---|---|---| | `initialCenterCoordinate` | `object` | Optional | Initial `latitude`/`longitude` the map will load at. | `{ latitude:0, longitude: 0 }` | | `initialZoomLevel` | `number` | Optional | Initial zoom level the map will load at. 0 is the entire world, 18 is rooftop level. | `0` | | `initialDirection` | `number` | Optional | Initial heading of the map in degrees, where 0 is north and 180 is south | `0` | | `rotateEnabled` | `boolean` | Optional | Whether the map can rotate. | `true` | | `scrollEnabled` | `boolean` | Optional | Whether the map can be scrolled. | `true` | | `zoomEnabled` | `boolean` | Optional | Whether the map zoom level can be changed. | `true` | | `showsUserLocation` | `boolean` | Optional | Whether the user's location is shown on the map. Note: The map will not zoom to their location. | `false` | | `userTrackingMode` | `enum` | Optional | Wether the map is zoomed to and follows the user's location. One of `Mapbox.userTrackingMode.none`, `Mapbox.userTrackingMode.follow`, `Mapbox.userTrackingMode.followWithCourse`, `Mapbox.userTrackingMode.followWithHeading` | `Mapbox.userTrackingMode.none` | | `userLocationVerticalAlignment` | `enum` | Optional | Change the alignment of where the user location shows on the screen. One of `Mapbox.userLocationVerticalAlignment.top`, `Mapbox.userLocationVerticalAlignment.center`, `Mapbox.userLocationVerticalAlignment.bottom` | `Mapbox.userLocationVerticalAlignment.center` | | `styleURL` | `string` | Required | A Mapbox style. See [Styles](#styles) for valid values. | `Mapbox.mapStyles.streets` | | `annotations` | `array` | Optional | An array of annotation objects. See [Annotations](#annotations) | `[]` | | `annotationsAreImmutable` | `boolean` | Optional | Set this to `true` if you don't ever mutate the `annotations` array or the annotations themselves. This enables optimizations when props change. | `false` | | `attributionButtonIsHidden` | `boolean` | Optional | Whether attribution button is visible in lower right corner. *[If true you must still attribute OpenStreetMap in your app.](https://www.mapbox.com/about/maps/)* | `false` | | `logoIsHidden` | `boolean` | Optional | Whether logo is visible in lower left corner. | `false` | | `compassIsHidden` | `boolean` | Optional | Whether compass is visible when map is rotated. | `false` | | `contentInset` | `array` | Optional | Change the padding of the viewport of the map. Offset is in pixels. `[top, right, bottom, left]` `[0, 0, 0, 0]` | | `style` | React styles | Optional | Styles the actual map view container | N/A | | `debugActive` | `boolean` | Optional | Turns on debug mode. | `false` | ## Callback props ```javascript { //... }}/> ``` | Prop | Payload shape | Description |---|---|---| | `onRegionWillChange` | `{latitude: 0, longitude: 0, zoomLevel: 0, direction: 0, pitch: 0}` | Fired when the map begins panning or zooming. | `onRegionChange` | `{latitude: 0, longitude: 0, zoomLevel: 0, direction: 0, pitch: 0}` | Fired when the map ends panning or zooming. | `onOpenAnnotation` | `{id: 'marker_id', title: null, subtitle: null, latitude: 0, longitude: 0}` | Fired when tapping an annotation. | `onRightAnnotationTapped` | `{id: 'marker_id', title: null, subtitle: null, latitude: 0, longitude: 0}` | Fired when user taps the `rightCalloutAccessory` of an annotation. | `onChangeUserTrackingMode` | `Mapbox.userTrackingMode.none` | Fired when the user tracking mode gets changed by an user pan or rotate. | `onUpdateUserLocation` | `{latitude: 0, longitude: 0, headingAccuracy: 0, magneticHeading: 0, trueHeading: 0, isUpdating: false}` | Fired when the user's location updates. | `onLocateUserFailed` | `{message: 'Error message'}` | Fired when there is an error getting the user's location. Do not rely on the string that is returned for determining what kind of error it is. | `onTap` | `{latitude: 0, longitude: 0, screenCoordX: 0, screenCoordY: 0}` | Fired when the users taps the screen. | `onLongPress` | `{latitude: 0, longitude: 0, screenCoordX: 0, screenCoordX: 0}` | Fired when the user taps and holds screen for 1 second. | `onStartLoadingMap` | `undefined` | Fired once the map begins loading the style. | | `onFinishLoadingMap` | `undefined` | Fired once the map has loaded the style. | ## Methods You first need to get a ref to your `MapView` component: ```jsx { this._map = map; }} /> ``` Then call methods as `this._map.methodName()`. --- ```javascript this._map.setDirection(direction, animated = true, callback); this._map.setZoomLevel(zoomLevel, animated = true, callback); this._map.setCenterCoordinate(latitude, longitude, animated = true, callback); this._map.setCenterCoordinateZoomLevel(latitude, longitude, zoomLevel, animated = true, callback); this._map.setCenterCoordinateZoomLevelPitch(latitude, longitude, zoomLevel, pitch, animated = true, callback); // Android only this._map.setPitch(pitch, animated = true, callback); // Android only this._map.easeTo({ latitude, longitude, zoomLevel, direction, pitch }, animated = true, callback); ``` This set of methods sets the location the map is centered on, the zoom level, the heading and the pitch (Android only) of the map. The transition to the desired location is animated by default, but can be made instantaneous by passing `animated` as `false`. For `easeTo`, all arguments inside the options object are optional. You can specify any combination of center coords, zoomLevel, direction and pitch. What is not specified stays at their current values. The methods accept an optional `callback` that will get fired when the animation has ended. Additionally, the return value is a promise that gets resolved when the animation has ended. --- ```javascript this._map.setVisibleCoordinateBounds(latitudeSW, longitudeSW, latitudeNE, longitudeNE, paddingTop = 0, paddingRight = 0, paddingBottom = 0, paddingLeft = 0, animated = true); ``` This method adjusts the center location and the zoomLevel of the map so that the rectangle determined by `latitudeSW`, `longitudeSW`, `latitudeNE`, `longitudeNE` fits inside the viewport. You can optionally pass a minimum padding (in screen points) that will be visible around the given coordinate bounds. The transition is animated unless you pass `animated` as `false`. --- ```javascript this._map.setCamera(latitude, longitude, fromDistance, pitch, direction, animationDuration = 0.3); // iOS Only ``` This method only works on iOS. Sets the map pitched at an angle (`pitch`, measured in degrees, 0 is from straight above), looking towards `latitude` and `longitude` from `fromDistance` meters away, pointing towards heading `direction`. Use `animationDuration` to adjust the speed of the transition. --- ```javascript this._map.getCenterCoordinateZoomLevel(data => { // ... }); ``` Gets the current coordinates and zoom level of the map. `data` is an object of the form `{ latitude, longitude, zoomLevel }` --- ```javascript this._map.getDirection(direction => { // ... }); ``` Gets the current heading of the map. `direction` is the heading in degrees. --- ```javascript this._map.getPitch(pitch => { // Android only // ... }); ``` Gets the current tilt of the map. (Android only) `pitch` is the tilt in degrees measured from the normal to the map. --- ```javascript this._map.getBounds(bounds => { // ... }); ``` Gets the bounding rectangle in GPS coordinates that is currently visible on within the map's viewport. `bounds` is an array representing `[ latitudeSW, longitudeSW, latitudeNE, longitudeNE ]` --- ```javascript this._map.selectAnnotation(id, animated = true); ``` Selects the annotation tagged with `id`, as if it would be tapped by the user. The transition is animated unless you pass `animated` as `false`. ## Styles #### Default styles Mapbox GL ships with 6 included styles: * `Mapbox.mapStyles.streets` * `Mapbox.mapStyles.emerald` * `Mapbox.mapStyles.dark` * `Mapbox.mapStyles.light` * `Mapbox.mapStyles.satellite` * `Mapbox.mapStyles.hybrid` To use one of these, just pass it as a prop to `MapView`: ```jsx ``` #### Custom styles You can also create a custom style in [Mapbox Studio](https://www.mapbox.com/studio/) and add it your map. Simply grab the style url. It should look something like: ``` mapbox://styles/bobbysud/cigtw1pzy0000aam2346f7ex0 ``` ## Annotations #### Object shape ```json [{ "coordinates": "required.

If your `annotations` array is immutable and you enable `annotationsAreImmutable`, this enables important performance optimizations when this component is re-rendered. See [the example](./example.js#L116) for an illustration of this. ## Mapbox Telemetry (metrics) If you hide the attribution button, you need to provide the user with a way to opt-out of telemetry. For this, you need to add `MGLMapboxMetricsEnabledSettingShownInApp` as `YES` in `Info.plist`, then create a switch that toggles metrics. To get the current state of metrics, use `Mapbox.getMetricsEnabled()`. To enable or disable metrics, use `Mapbox.setMetricsEnabled(enabled: boolean)`. ## Offline There are 3 main methods for interacting with the offline API: * `Mapbox.addOfflinePackForRegion`: Creates an offline pack * `Mapbox.getOfflinePacks`: Returns an array of all offline packs on the device * `Mapbox.removeOfflinePack`: Removes a single pack Before using them, don't forget to set an access token with `Mapbox.setAccessToken(accessToken)` These methods return a promise, but they also accept a callback as the last argument with the signature `(err, value) => {}`. #### Creating a pack ```javascript Mapbox.addOfflinePack({ name: 'test', // required type: 'bbox', // required, only type currently supported` metadata: { // optional. You can put any information in here that may be useful to you date: new Date(), foo: 'bar' }, bounds: [ // required. The corners of the bounded rectangle region being saved offline latitudeSW, longitudeSW, latitudeNE, longitudeNE ], minZoomLevel: 10, // required maxZoomLevel: 13, // required styleURL: Mapbox.mapStyles.emerald // required. Valid styleURL }).then(() => { // Called after the pack has been added successfully }).catch(err => { console.error(err); // Handle error }); ``` #### Deleting a pack To delete a pack, provide the `name` of the pack to delete. ```javascript Mapbox.removeOfflinePack('test') .then(info => { if (info.deleted) { console.log(`Deleted pack named ${info.deleted}`); // The pack has been deleted successfully } else { console.log('No packs to delete'); // There are no packs named 'test' } }) .catch(err => { console.error(err); // Handle error }); ``` #### Querying progress ```javascript Mapbox.getOfflinePacks() .then(packs => { // packs is an array of progress objects }) .catch(err => { console.log(err); // Handle error }) ``` A progress object has the following shape: ```javascript { name: 'test', // The name this pack was registered with metadata, // The value that was previously passed as metadata countOfBytesCompleted: 0, // The number of bytes downloaded for this pack countOfResourcesCompleted: 0, // The number of tiles that have been downloaded for this pack countOfResourcesExpected: 0, // The estimated minimum number of total tiles in this pack maximumResourcesExpected: 0 // The estimated maximum number of total tiles in this pack } ``` #### Subscribing to progress notifications ```javascript const subscription = Mapbox.addOfflinePackProgressListener(progressObject => { // progressObject has the same format as above }); // Remove the listener when it is not needed anymore subscription.remove(); ``` #### Subscribing to error events ```javascript const subscription = Mapbox.addOfflineErrorListener(payload => { console.log(`Offline pack named ${payload.name} experienced an error: ${payload.error}`); }); // Remove the listener when it is not needed anymore subscription.remove(); ``` ```javascript const subscription = Mapbox.addOfflineMaxAllowedTilesListener(payload => { console.log(`Offline pack named ${payload.name} reached max tiles quota of ${payload.maxTiles} tiles`); }); // Remove the listener when it is not needed anymore subscription.remove(); ``` Check out our [help page](https://www.mapbox.com/help/mobile-offline/) for more information on offline.
