Make react-leaflet map component resize itself to fit available space

Question

Setting the width of the Map component works, but height seems to only respond to an absolute size in pixels.

Is it possible to make the map control automatically consume available space inside the parent element?

Answer 1

I was able to create a component that passed in a component state value for the height of the map. I created a helper function that would resize the height to make it all responsive.

...

export default class MapContainer extends React.Component {

  updateDimensions() {
    const height = window.innerWidth >= 992 ? window.innerHeight : 400
    this.setState({ height: height })
  }

  componentWillMount() {
    this.updateDimensions()
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    window.addEventListener("resize", this.updateDimensions.bind(this))
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    window.removeEventListener("resize", this.updateDimensions.bind(this))
  }

  ...

  render() {
    ...
    return (
      <div class="map-container" style={{ height: this.state.height }}>
        <Map>
          ...
        </Map>
      </div>
    )
  }
}
