Creating custom components

React-Leaflet aims to provide all the controls and layers provided by Leaflet, but it does not support any Leaflet plugin.

The plugins page offers a non-exhaustive list of third-party plugins.
If these plugins do not match your needs, adding layers and behaviors provided by plugins in your application should be relatively easy by extending one of the abstract classes provided by React-Leaflet (see the class hierarchy to find the most relevant class to extend) and implementing the relevant methods:

• createLeafletElement (props: Object): Object (required): create and return the relevant Leaflet element instance. This instance will be stored in the class as this.leafletElement and used by other methods handling behavior such as events bindings.
• updateLeafletElement (fromProps: Object, toProps: Object): Object (optional): use this method to update the leafletElement according to the properties changes.

By wrapping your custom component using the withLeaflet() higher-order component, it will get the LeafletContext object injected in its props.
Alternatively, the useLeaflet() hook can be used to access the context object that needs to be provided as the leaflet property of a custom component.

Make sure to read the introduction page of this documentation to understand what your custom component should use and eventually provide, and check the class hierarchy to see what class to extend.
