I am developing a mobile application in React Native requiring the use of Web Map Services. I have not found any library or framework that allows use WMS and react native at same time. In React (Web) I found one. My question is:

Do you know if exists any library or framework that allows me to work with WMS and React Native, or if there is any possibility of integrating a library of React (web) in React native?

Thanks!

The approach I decided to use is the following:

  1. Using WebView from react-native.

  2. Using openlayers.

Declare a variable in render method from your react-native class which contains the HTML code from a Map of openlayers: render() { var html = ` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Simple Map</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://openlayers.org/en/v3.20.0/css/ol.css" type="text/css"> <!-- The line below is only needed for old environments like Internet Explorer and Android 4.x --> <script src="https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.min.js?features=requestAnimationFrame,Element.prototype.classList,URL"></script> <script src="https://openlayers.org/en/v3.20.0/build/ol.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="map" class="map"></div> <script> var map = new ol.Map({ layers: [ new ol.layer.Tile({ source: new ol.source.OSM() }) ], target: 'map', view: new ol.View({ center: [0, 0], zoom: 2 }) }); </script> </body> </html> `

Then pass this variable to the WebView: return ( <View style={styles.container}> <WebView ref={webview => { this.webview = webview; }} source={{html}} onMessage={this.onMessage}/> </View> ); } }

If you want to communicate the react-native side with WebView side, take a look to the WebView example from react-native.

You can find more examples in the openlayers example page.

Not able to import openlayers in react-native. I tried importing as mentioned here #45397661 But shows error as Unable to resolve "!!../node_modules/css-loader/index.js!./autocomplete.css" from "node_modules/react-openlayers/dist/react-openlayers.umd.js"Detonation
More modern WMS solution for this would be use [react-native-maps][1], since it's broadly supported with nice documentation. [1]: github.com/react-native-community/react-native-mapsCerement
