React Map GL Components

Drop-in components for using Esri services with react-map-gl. Works with both MapLibre GL and Mapbox GL.

Components

All components share these common props:

Prop	Type	Description
id	string	Required Unique layer ID
sourceId	string	Custom source ID (defaults to id)
beforeId	string	Insert layer before this layer ID
visible	boolean	Layer visibility

EsriDynamicLayer

Renders an Esri Dynamic Map Service as a raster layer.

Prop	Type	Default	Description
url	string		Required MapService URL
layers	number[] | number | false		Layer IDs to show
layerDefs	Record<string, string> | false		SQL filters per layer
format	string		Image format
dpi	number		Output DPI
transparent	boolean		Transparent background

import { EsriDynamicLayer } from 'esri-gl/react-map-gl';

<Map>
  <EsriDynamicLayer
    id="census"
    url="https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer"
    layers={[2, 3]}
    layerDefs={{ 2: "STATE_NAME='California'" }}
  />
</Map>

EsriTiledLayer

Renders an Esri Tiled Map Service as a raster layer.

Prop	Type	Description
url	string	Required Tiled MapService URL

import { EsriTiledLayer } from 'esri-gl/react-map-gl';

<Map>
  <EsriTiledLayer
    id="topo"
    url="https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer"
  />
</Map>

EsriImageLayer

Renders an Esri Image Service as a raster layer.

Prop	Type	Description
url	string	Required ImageService URL
renderingRule	Record<string, unknown> | false	Server-side rendering rule
mosaicRule	Record<string, unknown> | false	Mosaic rule for image selection
format	string	Image format

import { EsriImageLayer } from 'esri-gl/react-map-gl';

<Map>
  <EsriImageLayer
    id="landcover"
    url="https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/NLCDLandCover/ImageServer"
  />
</Map>

EsriFeatureLayer

Renders an Esri Feature Service as a GeoJSON vector layer.

Prop	Type	Default	Description
url	string		Required Feature layer URL
where	string		SQL WHERE filter
outFields	string | string[]		Fields to include
paint	Record<string, unknown>		MapLibre paint properties
layout	Record<string, unknown>		MapLibre layout properties

import { EsriFeatureLayer } from 'esri-gl/react-map-gl';

<Map>
  <EsriFeatureLayer
    id="states"
    url="https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer/3"
    where="POP2000 > 5000000"
    outFields={['STATE_NAME', 'POP2000']}
    paint={{ 'fill-color': '#0080ff', 'fill-opacity': 0.4 }}
  />
</Map>

EsriVectorTileLayer

Renders an Esri Vector Tile Service. The service handles layer creation internally.

Prop	Type	Description
url	string	Required Vector Tile Service URL

import { EsriVectorTileLayer } from 'esri-gl/react-map-gl';

<Map>
  <EsriVectorTileLayer
    id="basemap-vtiles"
    url="https://basemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Basemap_v2/VectorTileServer"
  />
</Map>

EsriVectorBasemapLayer

Applies an Esri Vector Basemap Style to the map. Note: this replaces the entire map style rather than adding a layer.

Prop	Type	Description
basemapEnum	string	Required Basemap style (e.g., 'arcgis/streets', 'arcgis/navigation')
token	string	Required Authentication token

import { EsriVectorBasemapLayer } from 'esri-gl/react-map-gl';

<Map>
  <EsriVectorBasemapLayer
    id="basemap"
    basemapEnum="arcgis/navigation"
    token="YOUR_TOKEN"
  />
</Map>

Integration Hooks

These hooks provide access to the underlying map instance and pre-configured service hooks for react-map-gl applications.

useEsriMaplibreLayer

Hook for using Esri services with MapLibre GL via react-map-gl.

Returns:

Property	Type	Description
map	Map | null	The MapLibre GL map instance
useDynamicMapService	function	Pre-configured hook
useTiledMapService	function	Pre-configured hook
useImageService	function	Pre-configured hook
useVectorTileService	function	Pre-configured hook
useFeatureService	function	Pre-configured hook

import { useEsriMaplibreLayer } from 'esri-gl/react-map-gl';

function MyLayer() {
  const { map, useDynamicMapService } = useEsriMaplibreLayer();
  const { service } = useDynamicMapService({
    sourceId: 'census',
    map,
    options: { url: 'https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer' },
  });
  return null;
}

useEsriMapboxLayer

Hook for using Esri services with Mapbox GL via react-map-gl. Same API as useEsriMaplibreLayer but uses the Mapbox provider.

Returns:

Property	Type	Description
map	Map | null	The Mapbox GL map instance
useDynamicMapService	function	Pre-configured hook
useTiledMapService	function	Pre-configured hook
useImageService	function	Pre-configured hook
useVectorTileService	function	Pre-configured hook
useFeatureService	function	Pre-configured hook

import { useEsriMapboxLayer } from 'esri-gl/react-map-gl';

function MyLayer() {
  const { map, useDynamicMapService } = useEsriMapboxLayer();
  const { service } = useDynamicMapService({
    sourceId: 'census',
    map,
    options: { url: 'https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer' },
  });
  return null;
}
