Integrating StoreRocket with React: Class and Functional Components
Integrating StoreRocket with React: Class and Functional Components

Let's see how we install our store locator widget inside a React component.

Updated over 8 months ago

To seamlessly integrate StoreRocket into your React application, include the StoreRocket widget script in your HTML's <head> section. This guide covers both class and functional component approaches, catering to various React development styles.

Class Component Approach

1. Embed StoreRocket Script

Insert the following script tag in your HTML's <head> section:

<script src="//cdn.storerocket.io/widget.js"></script> 

2. Create a Div Container

In your React class component, add a div with a specific class to hold the store locator:

<div className="store-locator-widget"></div>

3. Initialize StoreRocket

Use the componentDidMount() method to initialize StoreRocket:

componentDidMount() {
const config = {
selector: ".store-locator-widget",
account: "<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>"
};
window.StoreRocket.init(config);
}

Functional Component Approach

For modern React applications using functional components:

1. Embed StoreRocket Script

As with the class component, include the script in your HTML's <head>.

<script src="//cdn.storerocket.io/widget.js"></script>

2. Create a Div Container

Define a div in your functional component:

<div className="store-locator-widget"></div>

3. Initialize StoreRocket with useEffect

Use the useEffect hook for initialization after the component mounts:

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';

function StoreLocator() {
useEffect(() => {
const config = {
selector: ".store-locator-widget",
account: "<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>"
};
window.StoreRocket.init(config);
}, []);

return <div className="store-locator-widget"></div>;
}

(Note: Replace <YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID> with your actual StoreRocket project ID that you can find in this page.)
