How to override existing built-in components based on reaction

Question

There is a MapView module in reaction-native. ( RCTMapManager module)

It currently does not support custom viewing of annotations. Is it possible to override the method - (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(__unused MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(RCTPointAnnotation *)annotation in the user bridge? Or should I create my own RCTMapManager component from scratch

Answer 1

You will need to create your own RCTMapManager component from scratch. The best way to solve this in your use case would be

• Copy an existing implementation (& rename it)
• Implementing custom views for annotations (and using them in your project)
• Fork React-Native and Stretch Request for Custom Annotation Views
