React Native Super Cluster

This module wraps AirBnB's react-native-maps and uses MapBox's SuperCluster as clustering engine.

Example

See the showcase application.

Rationale

This module wants to provide a stable and performing solution for maps clustering in React Native. In particular, our efforts are focused on integrating SuperCluster methods into React's state/lifecycle events, ensuring stability, compatibility and great performance.

Install

npm i --save react-native-maps-super-cluster

Usage

NOTES:

• the prop key of the markers rendered through renderMarker should not be left up to React. Instead, we strongly suggest to use an id in order the have unique keys while still taking advantage of React's recycling
• ClusteredMapView supports usual React children. Those children won't be affected by clustering, i.e. the behavior for those children is exactly the same as wrapping them around an AirBnB's react-native-maps instance
• Use onMarkerPress event on MapView instead of using onPress directly on Markers whenever possibile, in particular if you have a lot of pins and clusters. Within onMarkerPress you have access to the marker identifier through the event.nativeEvent attribute, hence you should be able to do everything you would do within an onPress function of a Marker

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { Marker, Callout } from 'react-native-maps'
import ClusteredMapView from 'react-native-maps-super-cluster'

const INIT_REGION = {
  latitude: 41.8962667,
  longitude: 11.3340056,
  latitudeDelta: 12,
  longitudeDelta: 12
}

export default class MyClusteredMapView extends Component {
  
  ...

  renderCluster = (cluster, onPress) => {
    const pointCount = cluster.pointCount,
          coordinate = cluster.coordinate,
          clusterId = cluster.clusterId

    // use pointCount to calculate cluster size scaling
    // and apply it to "style" prop below

    // eventually get clustered points by using
    // underlying SuperCluster instance
    // Methods ref: https://github.com/mapbox/supercluster
    const clusteringEngine = this.map.getClusteringEngine(),
          clusteredPoints = clusteringEngine.getLeaves(clusterId, 100)

    return (
      <Marker coordinate={coordinate} onPress={onPress}>
        <View style={styles.myClusterStyle}>
          <Text style={styles.myClusterTextStyle}>
            {pointCount}
          </Text>
        </View>
        {
          /*
            Eventually use <Callout /> to
            show clustered point thumbs, i.e.:
            <Callout>
              <ScrollView>
                {
                  clusteredPoints.map(p => (
                    <Image source={p.image}>
                  ))
                }
              </ScrollView>
            </Callout>

            IMPORTANT: be aware that Marker's onPress event isn't really consistent when using Callout.
           */
        }
      </Marker>
    )
  }

  renderMarker = (data) => <Marker key={data.id || Math.random()} coordinate={data.location} />

  ...

  render() {
    return (
      <ClusteredMapView
        style={{flex: 1}}
        data={this.state.data}
        initialRegion={INIT_REGION}
        ref={(r) => { this.map = r }}
        renderMarker={this.renderMarker}
        renderCluster={this.renderCluster} />
    )
  }
}

Props

Name	Type	Required	Default	Note
radius	Number	false	window width * 4,5%	SuperCluster radius.
extent	Number	false	512	SuperCluster extent.

maxZoom	Number	false	20	SuperCluster maxZoom.
width	Number	false	window width	map's width.
height	Number	false	window height	map's height.
data	Array	true	undefined	Objects must have an attribute location representing a GeoPoint, i.e. { latitude: x, longitude: y }.
onExplode	Function	false	undefined	TODO
onImplode	Function	false	undefined	TODO
onClusterPress(clusterId, ?children)	Function	false		Add (or completey override) behaviours to the clusterPress handler. children is passed when default behavior is preserved (see preserveClusterPressBehavior prop).
preserveClusterPressBehavior	Bool	false	true	Whether onClusterPress prop should completely override module's behavior rather than integrate it.
clusterPressMaxChildren	Function	false	100	Max number of cluster leaves returned as second parameter of onClusterPress.
edgePadding	Object	false	{ top: 10, left: 10, bottom: 10, right: 10 }	Edge padding for react-native-maps's fitToCoordinates method, called in onClusterPress for fitting to pressed cluster children.
renderMarker	Function	false	undefined	Must return a react-native-maps' Marker component.
animateClusters	Bool	false	true	Animate imploding/exploding of clusters' markers and clusters size change. Works only on iOS.
layoutAnimationConf	LayoutAnimationConfig	false	LayoutAnimation.Presets.spring	Custom Layout animation configuration object for clusters animation during implode / explode Works only on iOS.
clusteringEnabled	Bool	false	true	Dynamically set whether to pass through clustering functions or immediately render markers as a normal mapview.
scaleUpRatio(markersCount: Number);	Function	false	undefined	Must return a number, used to multiply clusters and font sizes based on markersCount. Deprecated, use renderCluster instead.
clusterInitialFontSize	Number	false	12	font base size for cluster counter. Scales up proportionally to clustered markers. Deprecated, use renderCluster instead.
clusterInitialDimension	Number	false	30	cluster view base dimension in dpi/ppi. Scales up proportionally to clustered markers. Deprecated, use renderCluster instead.
textStyle	Object	false	NovaLab Brand colors	Style of the Text component used for clusters counters. Deprecated, use renderCluster instead.
containerStyle	Object	false	NovaLab Brand colors	Style of the clusters View. Deprecated, use renderCluster instead.
