very new to react. I'm using google-maps-react-api. I have two files. Index.js and MapMarker.js. It loads a few location points with info windows already loaded. I can close the window but when clicking on the marker they do not reopen. My onCLick events do not work as I expect. I want the case to be the markers load and I click them to show info window and then can close the window as well. I've read the docs and issues on Github but can't find the info. Thanks.

• Do you get any errors? What have you tried to debug? Can you provide a working CodeSandbox? – MrUpsidown Commented Jun 14, 2020 at 10:24
• Hey, no errors. I've been reading the documentation and it makes no reference to being able to open and close info windows by clicking markers. react-google-maps-api-docslify.app/#infowindow . I've changed the code a little and here is the sandbox link codesandbox.io/s/cocky-faraday-10kbs?file=/src/index.js . I have a cluster, markers and info boxes displaying permanantly and an alert when the marker is clicked but when I close the info box clicking the marker does not re open. Thanks – Robben Commented Jun 14, 2020 at 11:02
• Do you need multiple info windows to be open at the same time? Otherwise, you should probably use only 1. – MrUpsidown Commented Jun 14, 2020 at 12:04
• No, ideally just one. Click on a marker and one window displays which I can then close and open another one. Thanks so much for your help. – Robben Commented Jun 14, 2020 at 12:08
• 1 That library is google-map-react which doesn’t support marker clustering and the one I’m using google-map-react-api which supports clustering but doesn’t seem to support opening into windows. Thanks again for your help. I might have to Compromise something for now until I can make my own. – Robben Commented Jun 14, 2020 at 12:18

I made a couple of changes in your MapMaker.js from the codesandbox link you provided.

First, I added a state named showingInfoWindow and assign a value of false. This will be the state that will indicate if the infowindow will be shown or not.

Then, I added a function named onMarkerClick which is called everytime the Marker is clicked. This will set the state of showingInfoWindow to true.

Next, I put a condition in the return of MapMaker class, which will only show the infowindow when the showingInfoWindow is set to true.

Then, I add the onInfoWindowClose function that sets the state of showingInfoWindow back to false.

Lastly, I added the onCloseClick parameter in the and call the onInfoWindowClose function.

You can follow the code snippet below for the changes in MapMaker.js

import React from "react";

import { Marker, InfoWindow } from "@react-google-maps/api";


export default class MapMarker extends React.Component {
  state = {
    mapMarker: null,
    showingInfoWindow: false
  };

  onMarkerClick = (props) => {
    this.setState({
      showingInfoWindow: true
    });
  };

  onInfoWindowClose = () =>
    this.setState({
      showingInfoWindow: false
    });

  onLoad = (mapMarker) => {
    this.setState({
      mapMarker
    });
  };

  render() {
    const { clusterer, markerData } = this.props;

    return (
      <Marker
        clusterer={clusterer}
        onLoad={this.onLoad}
        position={{
          lat: markerData.lat,
          lng: markerData.lng
        }}
        clickable
        onClick={this.onMarkerClick}
      >
        {this.state.showingInfoWindow === true && (
          <InfoWindow
            position={{
              lat: markerData.lat,
              lng: markerData.lng
            }}
            onCloseClick={this.onInfoWindowClose}
          >
            <div>
              <p>hello</p>
            </div>
          </InfoWindow>
        )}
      </Marker>
    );
  }
}
