ReactiveGoogleMap creates a data-driven map UI component using Google Maps. It is the key component for building map based experiences.
Example uses:
- showing a map of user checkins by city and topics for powering discovery based experiences.
- displaying restaurants filtered by a nearby distance query on a map.

componentId
| Type | Optional |
|---|---|
String |
No |
unique identifier of the component, can be referenced in other components' react prop.
compoundClause
| Type | Optional |
|---|---|
String |
Yes |
Configure whether the DSL query is generated with the compound clause of must or filter. If nothing is passed the default is to use must. Setting the compound clause to filter allows search engine to cache and allows for higher throughput in cases where scoring isn’t relevant (e.g. term, geo or range type of queries that act as filters on the data)
This property only has an effect when the search engine is either elasticsearch or opensearch.
Note:
compoundClauseis supported with v8.16.0 (server) as well as with serverless search.
dataField
| Type | Optional |
|---|---|
String |
No |
DB data field to be connected to the component's UI view, usually of a geopoint (i.e. location) data type and used for rendering the markers on the map.
size
| Type | Optional |
|---|---|

defaultCenter
| Type | Optional |
|---|---|
Object |
Yes |
preset map's center position by specifying an object with valid lat and lng values. This prop, when set, will cause the component to run a geo-distance query with a distance of 10mi (Refer: defaultRadius and unit prop to configure the distance).
center
| Type | Optional |
|---|---|
Object |
Yes |
set map's center position by specifying an object with valid lat and lng values. This prop, when set, will cause the component to run a geo-distance query with a distance of 10mi (Refer: defaultRadius and unit prop to configure the distance).

| Type | Optional |
|---|---|
Number |
Yes |
used as distance value for the geo-distance query when defaultCenter or center is set. It accepts all positive integers.

### or clause implies that the results will be filtered by matches from at least one of the associated component states.
### not clause implies that the results will be filtered by an inverse match of the associated component states.
- value String or Array or Object
- String is used for specifying a single component by its componentId.
- Array is used for specifying multiple components by their componentId.
- Object is used for nesting other key clauses.
autoCenter
| Type | Optional |

function |
Yes |
event fired when one or more markers are indexed, updated or removed from the map. It takes an object with the following formats (label, icon, custom):

an alternative callback function to renderItem, where user can define how to render the view based on all the data changes.
It accepts an object with these properties:
loading:booleanindicates that the query is still in progresserror:objectAn object containing the error infodata:arrayAn array of results obtained from combiningpromotedresults along with thehits.aggregationDataarrayAn array of aggregations buckets. Each bucket would have atop_hitsproperty if you're using Elasticsearch top hits aggregations indefaultQueryprop.promotedData:arrayAn array of promoted results obtained from the applied query.

Note:
dataandpromotedDataresults has a property called_click_idwhich can be used with triggerClickAnalytics to register the click analytics info.
