v7 is a complete rewrite of the library. It addresses many long-standing issues in v5 and v6 limited by legacy architecture decisions. The most notable results of this redesign are:

  • Performance: minimize the overhead of React, offer the same fast and smooth interaction as the native library
  • Lightweight: the ESM build size is reduced from 219k to 57k
  • Predictability: Components behave the same as their mapbox counterparts. Props are mapped 1:1 from the native options wherever appropriate. Almost all imperative APIs (flyTo, fitBounds etc.) can now be called directly without breaking the React binding.
  • Compatibility: first and third-party plugins! Directly use mapbox-gl-draw, mapbox-gl-geocoder, to name a few.
  • TypeScript compliant: the code base is now entirely written in TypeScript, and all types can be imported.
