I am trying to show bing maps on my React Application using props. The Maps are properly displayed on load but when the props change it will not reload the map component. I know the issue is componentDidMount() will be called only once when the component loads but I am not sure how to resolve it.
interface IState {
addresses: Array<PropertyDetails>;
}
interface PropertyDetails {
fullAddress: string;
propertyNumber: number
}
export class Map extends React.Component<{ data }, IState> {
constructor(props) {
super();
this.state = {
addresses: []
};
}
getPropertyData() {
let propertyData: Array<PropertyDetails> = [];
let listProperties = this.props.data;
if (listProperties.length > 0) {
for (let i = 0; i < listProperties.length; i++) {
let address = listProperties[i].Streetnumber + " " +
listProperties[i].Streetname + " " +
listProperties[i].City + " " +
listProperties[i].State + " " +
listProperties[i].Zip;
var Property: PropertyDetails = {
fullAddress: address,
propertyNumber: listProperties[i].Propertyidentity
};
propertyData.push(Property);
}
}
this.setState({ addresses: propertyData })
}
loadBingMapScript() {
var BingMaps = document.getElementById("BingMaps");
if (BingMaps) {
document.body.removeChild(BingMaps);
}
(window as any).loadMapScenario = () => this.InitMap();
const script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = "https://www.bing.com/maps/sdk/mapcontrol?callback=loadMapScenario";
script.async = true;
script.defer = true;
script.id = "BingMaps";
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
componentDidMount() {
this.getPropertyData();
this.loadBingMapScript();
}
private InitMap(): void {
let mapElement: HTMLElement = this.refs.map as HTMLElement;
(window as any).ShowMap(mapElement, this.state.addresses);
}
public render() {
return <div>
<div style={{ height: "500px", width: "100%" }}>
<div id="map" ref="map"></div>
</div>
</div>
}
}
In the above code I am loading Bing Maps script in componentDidMount() and it calls a JS Method in Index.html. But when the second set of props are passed, It doesn't load the component again. So Maps doesn't refresh.
Below is index.html
function ShowMap(div, AddressList) {
var map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(div, {
credentials: 'Key'
});
map.setView({
mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.canvasLight,
center: new Microsoft.Maps.Location(39.828605, -98.579501),
zoom: 4,
customMapStyle: {
elements: {
area: { fillColor: '#b6e591' },
water: { fillColor: '#75cff0' },
tollRoad: { fillColor: '#a964f4', strokeColor: '#a964f4' },
arterialRoad: { fillColor: '#ffffff', strokeColor: '#d7dae7' },
road: { fillColor: '#ffa35a', strokeColor: '#ff9c4f' },
street: { fillColor: '#ffffff', strokeColor: '#ffffff' },
transit: { fillColor: '#000000' }
},
settings: {
landColor: '#efe9e1'
}
},
});
SearchMap(map, AddressList)
}
function SearchMap(map, addresses) {
for (let i = 0; i < addresses.length; i++) {
Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.Search', function () {
var searchManager = new Microsoft.Maps.Search.SearchManager(map);
var requestOptions = {
where: addresses[i].fullAddress,
callback: function (answer, userData) {
map.entities.push(new Microsoft.Maps.Pushpin(answer.results[0].location));
}
};
searchManager.geocode(requestOptions);
});
}
}
UPDATE I find loading the Maps again in ComponentDidUpdate() did somewhat fixed my issue but endedup in getting so many errors. So I am using React-Bing Maps npm package.
