Camera

import { Camera } from '@rnmapbox/maps';

Camera

Controls the perspective from which the user sees the map.

To use imperative methods, pass in a ref object:

const camera = useRef<Camera>(null);

useEffect(() => {
camera.current?.setCamera({
centerCoordinate: [lon, lat],
});
}, []);

return (
<Camera ref={camera} />
);

props​

type​

literal

Allows static check of the data type. For internal use only.

centerCoordinate​

Position

The location on which the map should center.

bounds​

type Bounds = {
ne: Position; /* FIX ME NO DESCRIPTION */
sw: Position; /* FIX ME NO DESCRIPTION */
}

The corners of a box around which the map should bound. Contains padding props for backwards compatibility; the root padding prop should be used instead.

heading​

number

Heading (bearing, orientation) of the map, measured in degrees clockwise from true north.

pitch​

number

The pitch toward the horizon measured in degrees, with 0 degrees resulting in a top-down view for a two-dimensional map.

zoomLevel​

number

The zoom level of the map.

padding​

type Padding = {
paddingLeft: number; /* Left padding in points */
paddingRight: number; /* Right padding in points */
paddingTop: number; /* Top padding in points */
paddingBottom: number; /* Bottom padding in points */
}

The viewport padding in points.

animationDuration​

number

The duration the map takes to animate to a new configuration.

animationMode​

| 'flyTo'
| 'easeTo'
| 'linearTo'
| 'moveTo'
| 'none'

The easing or path the camera uses to animate to a new configuration.

Camera Animation

followUserLocation​

boolean

Whether the map orientation follows the user location.

followUserMode​

UserTrackingMode

The mode used to track the user location on the map.

followZoomLevel​

number

The zoom level used when following the user location.

Show Map

followPitch​

number

The pitch used when following the user location.

followHeading​

number

The heading used when following the user location.

followPadding​

Partial

The padding used to position the user location when following.

minZoomLevel​

number

The lowest allowed zoom level.

maxZoomLevel​

number

The highest allowed zoom level.

maxBounds​

type MaxBounds = {
ne: Position; /* FIX ME NO DESCRIPTION */
sw: Position; /* FIX ME NO DESCRIPTION */
}

The corners of a box defining the limits of where the camera can pan or zoom.

defaultSettings​

type DefaultSettings = {
type: literal; /* Allows static check of the data type. For internal use only. */
centerCoordinate: Position; /* The location on which the map should center. */
bounds: intersection; /* The corners of a box around which the map should bound. Contains padding props for backwards
compatibility; the root `padding` prop should be used instead. */
heading: number; /* Heading (bearing, orientation) of the map, measured in degrees clockwise from true north. */
pitch: number; /* The pitch toward the horizon measured in degrees, with 0 degrees resulting in a top-down view for a two-dimensional map. */
zoomLevel: number; /* The zoom level of the map. */
padding: signature; /* The viewport padding in points. */
animationDuration: number; /* The duration the map takes to animate to a new configuration. */
animationMode: 'flyTo' \| 'easeTo' \| 'linearTo' \| 'moveTo' \| 'none'; /* The easing or path the camera uses to animate to a new configuration. */
}

The configuration that the camera falls back on, if no other values are specified.

allowUpdates​

boolean

Whether the camera should send any configuration to the native module. Prevents unnecessary tile fetching and improves performance when the map is not visible. Defaults to true.

triggerKey​

string | number

Any arbitrary primitive value that, when changed, causes the camera to retry moving to its target configuration. (Not yet implemented.)

onUserTrackingModeChange​

func

Executes when user tracking mode changes. DEPRECATED use Viewport#onStatusChanged instead. signature:(event:MapboxGLEvent) => void

methods​

setCamera()​

Sets any camera properties, with default fallbacks if unspecified.

arguments​

NameTypeRequiredDescription
camera.current?.setCamera({
centerCoordinate: [lon, lat],
});

fitBounds()​

Set the camera position to enclose the provided bounds, with optional
padding and duration.

arguments​

NameTypeRequiredDescription
camera.fitBounds([lon, lat], [lon, lat]);
camera.fitBounds([lon, lat], [lon, lat], [20, 0], 1000);

flyTo()​

Sets the camera to center around the provided coordinate using a realistic 'travel'
animation, with optional duration.

arguments​

NameTypeRequiredDescription
camera.flyTo([lon, lat]);
camera.flyTo([lon, lat], 12000);

moveTo()​

Sets the camera to center around the provided coordinate, with optional duration.

arguments​

NameTypeRequiredDescription
camera.moveTo([lon, lat], 200);
camera.moveTo([lon, lat]);

zoomTo()​

Zooms the camera to the provided level, with optional duration.

arguments​

NameTypeRequiredDescription
camera.zoomTo(16);
camera.zoomTo(16, 100);

Fit### moveBy()

Move the map by a given screen coordinate offset with optional animation.
Can be used to get the Android Auto (onScroll) or Carplay(mapTemplate didUpdatePanGestureWithTranslation) pan gesture applied, for these to work properly do not specify animationDuration.

arguments​

NameTypeRequiredDescription

scaleBy()​

Scale the map with optional animation.
Can be used to get Android Auto pinch gesture (onScale with scaleFactor > 0.0 and < 2.0) or Android Auto double tap (onScale with scaleFactor == 2.0) applied.

arguments​
