Since you mentioned componentDidMount, you are using class components instead of functional components, then you should just wrap your component with GoogleMapConsumer.
componentDidMount
GoogleMapConsumer
If I want to use the context outside of the render method am I able to use, for example:
import {GoogleMapContext} from '@googlemap-react/core'
class MapContainer extends React.Component {
static contextType = GoogleMapContext;
//etc
and then access the map by this.context.state.map?
Hm, I tried the way above and also refactored to a functional component and just used:
import React, {useContext} from "react"; import { GoogleMapProvider, MapBox, Marker, InfoWindow, GoogleMapContext } from "@googlemap-react/core";
const MapContainer = props => {
const map = useContext(GoogleMapContext); console.log(map);
and I'm just seeing {state: undefined, dispatch: undefined} as my console output for map, any idea why :/
