I am trying to draw about 50K points with the leaflet Marker method and it's impossible du the time rendering and ram needed. The new method I saw is to use Leaflet-canvas to draw point on-screen ' not in the DOM. How can I perform this in React leaflet 3.X. I tried https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-leaflet-canvas-markers But it doesn't support the V3 of the leaflet.
Any suggestion?
install and import the library npm i leaflet-canvas-marker
Create a custom component and use a useEffect that will mimic the behavior of vanilla leaflet example
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { useMap } from "react-leaflet";
import "leaflet-canvas-marker";
import L from "leaflet";
export default function LeafletCanvasMarker() {
const map = useMap();
useEffect(() => {
if (!map) return;
var ciLayer = L.canvasIconLayer({}).addTo(map);
ciLayer.addOnClickListener(function (e, data) {
console.log(data);
});
ciLayer.addOnHoverListener(function (e, data) {
console.log(data[0].data._leaflet_id);
});
var icon = L.icon({
iconUrl: "https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.7.1/dist/images/marker-icon.png",
iconSize: [20, 18],
iconAnchor: [10, 9],
});
var markers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 50000; i++) {
var marker = L.marker(
[58.5578 + Math.random() * 1.8, 29.0087 + Math.random() * 3.6],
{ icon: icon }
).bindPopup("I Am " + i);
markers.push(marker);
}
ciLayer.addLayers(markers);
}, [map]);
return null;
}
Include your custom component as a MapContainer child
<MapContainer center={position} zoom={10} style={{ height: "100vh" }}>
<TileLayer

url='https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'
/>
<LeafletCanvasMarker />
</MapContainer>
