Had some troubles using Mapbox gl (javascript) with react-new-window, as the map was rendered on the original page and that caused a bunch of nasty errors. I solved this problem by using React-routing to have newWindow point to an url with the map component, instead of the map component being a child of newWindow. Then i used broadcastChannel API to send messages back and forth between the two windows.

Dependencies:

• react-new-window https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-new-window?activeTab=readme
• broadcastChannel https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Broadcast_Channel_API
• react-map-gl https://uber.github.io/react-map-gl/#/
• react-routing

To test clone the project
