I'm using dynamic moving markers in my React-Native application, in order to make the markers move I've got state updates on an interval that re-renders the screen with the new marker positions. I'm also trying to use react-native-maps-directions which uses the google Routes API (which costs money) and I can't allow the routes API to get called twice every second because that seems wasteful (also because I'm poor).
Basically, do you know of a way to keep re-rendering the part that updates marker locations while not re-rendering the routes
Here's my render:
render() {
return (
<View>
<MapView
allOfMyProps={blahblahProps}
>
//This currently does and should re-render every time because I need them to move
{this.state.markers[1] !== null &&
this.state.markers.map((marker, index) => (
<MapView.Marker
key={index}
coordinate={{
latitude: marker.coordinate.latitude,
longitude: marker.coordinate.longitude,
}}
/>
))}
/// This is what renders the route, I want this to not re-render every time state changes
<MapViewDirections
origin={origin}
destination={destination}
apikey={GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY} //configure this right
strokeWidth={10}
strokeColor="green"
/>
</MapView>
</View>
