React-Leaflet-Draw-Next

React component build on top of React-Leaflet that integrate leaflet-draw feature. This is the next-generation version with React 19 and react-leaflet v5 support.

Install

npm install react-leaflet-draw-next

Getting started

First, include leaflet & leaflet-draw styles in your project

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/leaflet/1.7.1/leaflet.min.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/leaflet.draw/1.0.4/leaflet.draw.css"/>

or by including

node_modules/leaflet/dist/leaflet.css
node_modules/leaflet-draw/dist/leaflet.draw.css

You might need to add one more rule missing in the current css:

  .sr-only {
    display: none;
  }

It's important to wrap EditControl component into FeatureGroup component from react-leaflet. The elements you draw will be added to this FeatureGroup layer, when you hit edit button only items in this layer will be edited.

JavaScript Usage

import { MapContainer, TileLayer, FeatureGroup, Circle } from 'react-leaflet';
import { EditControl } from "react-leaflet-draw-next"

const Component = () => {
  const featureGroupRef = useRef();

  return (
    <MapContainer center={[51.51, -0.06]} zoom={13}>
      <TileLayer
        attribution='&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
        url="http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
      />
      <FeatureGroup ref={featureGroupRef}>
        <EditControl
          position='topright'
          onEdited={this._onEditPath}
          onCreated={this._onCreate}
          onDeleted={this._onDeleted}
          draw={{
            rectangle: false
          }}
          featureGroup={featureGroupRef.current}
        />
        <Circle center={[51.51, -0.06]} radius={200} />
      </FeatureGroup>
    </MapContainer>
  );
};

TypeScript Usage

import * as React from 'react';
import * as L from 'leaflet';
import { MapContainer, TileLayer, FeatureGroup, Circle } from 'react-leaflet';
import { EditControl } from "react-leaflet-draw-next";

interface ComponentProps {
  // your props here
}

const Component: React.FC<ComponentProps> = () => {
  const featureGroupRef = React.useRef<L.FeatureGroup>(null);
  const [featureGroupReady, setFeatureGroupReady] = React.useState(false);

  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (featureGroupRef.current && !featureGroupReady) {
      setFeatureGroupReady(true);
    }
  }, [featureGroupReady]);

  const handleEdited = (e: L.DrawEvents.Edited) => {
    // Handle edited event
    console.log('Features edited:', e);
  };

  const handleCreated = (e: L.DrawEvents.Created) => {
    // Handle created event
    console.log('Feature created:', e);
  };

  const handleDeleted = (e: L.DrawEvents.Deleted) => {
    // Handle deleted event
    console.log('Features deleted:', e);
  };

  return (
    <MapContainer center={[51.51, -0.06]} zoom={13}>
      <TileLayer
        attribution='&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
        url="http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
      />
      <FeatureGroup ref={featureGroupRef}>
        {featureGroupReady && featureGroupRef.current && (
          <EditControl
            position="topright"
            onEdited={handleEdited}
            onCreated={handleCreated}
            onDeleted={handleDeleted}
            draw={{
              rectangle: false,
              circle: true,
              polyline: true,
              polygon: true,
              marker: false,
              circlemarker: false,
            }}
            featureGroup={featureGroupRef.current}
          />
        )}
        <Circle center={[51.51, -0.06]} radius={200} />
      </FeatureGroup>
    </MapContainer>
  );
};

React 19 and react-leaflet v5 Compatibility

This package is specifically designed for React 19 and react-leaflet v5. Key changes from the original react-leaflet-draw:

• Uses MapContainer instead of Map
• Requires passing the featureGroup prop to EditControl with the actual Leaflet FeatureGroup instance
• Compatible with the new hooks-based architecture of react-leaflet v5

Breaking Changes

⚠️ Important: The featureGroup prop is now required for proper functionality with react-leaflet v5. This is a breaking change from previous versions.
