thanx, can we separate the logic into a hook, also divide the component into smaller components in resanable way, and I want to know this search with suggestions is something we do manually or provided by the package, also does the API key free, also can we drow free shapes on the map and get the location of the shapes ponts
I'll address all your requests by refactoring the code to be more modular and adding the drawing functionality.
Now, let me address your specific questions:
The search with suggestions functionality is provided by the Google Maps Places API through the StandaloneSearchBox component. This is part of the @react-google-maps/api package and uses Google's powerful Places API to provide autocomplete suggestions as you type. You don't need to implement this manually - it's handled by Google's services once you've properly set up the API key and enabled the Places API in your Google Cloud Console.
The Google Maps API is not completely free, but it does offer a generous free tier:
For example, with the free credit, you can load approximately:
Once you exceed the free tier, you'll be charged for additional usage. You'll need to set up billing in the Google Cloud Console, but you won't be charged until you exceed the free credit.
I've implemented the ability to draw free shapes on the map using the Google Maps Drawing library. Here's how it works:
The shape data is an array of coordinates that define the vertices of each polygon. This data can be used for:
The code has been refactored to be more modular and maintainable:
Custom Hooks:
useMap - Handles map-related logic and stateuseRadiusControls - Manages radius controls state and logicSmaller Components:
RadiusControls - Handles the radius slider controlsMapSearchBox - Manages the search functionalityMapControls - Contains all the map control buttonsUtility Functions:
This organization makes the code more maintainable, testable, and easier to understand. Each component and hook has a single responsibility, following good software design principles.
thanx, does this lib supports the tollbar that is normally placed on the top right corner that have the predefined shapes like drawing a recatangle or square or free shape and also edit and delete shapes options?
can we add entrance and leaving animation for the saved location
when the screen is small the search box is shrinked and just the icon is displayed
Yes, I'll address all three of your requests:
I've made all the requested changes:
Yes, the Google Maps JavaScript API includes a built-in drawing toolbar that supports:
I've enabled this toolbar by setting drawingControl: true in the DrawingManager options and configured it to appear in the top-right corner of the map. Each shape type has its own options for styling and behavior.
I've added animations for the saved locations using Framer Motion:
These animations make the interface feel more polished and provide visual feedback when items are added or removed.
I've created a responsive search box component that:
This approach saves valuable screen space on mobile devices while still providing full search functionality when needed.
Enhanced Shape Handling:
Better Data Structure:
Animations Throughout:
These enhancements make the map component more powerful and user-friendly, especially on mobile devices.
i want the animation be on the saved location items, and the leaving animation when deleting the location doesn't work
now we don't need the top options for Draw Shape
Stop Drawing
Clear Shapes
I want a prop that controls the map to work with the new toolbar at the tob or work by the original circles and slider control
also can we display previous selected or drown shapes on the map, but these predrown shapes is not editable
