Document per-marker cluster={false} behavior
Summary
The library supports excluding individual markers from clustering by passing cluster={false} to the marker child rendered inside ClusteredMapView, but this behavior does not appear to be documented in the README/API docs.
This is useful for cases where most markers should be clustered, but specific markers need to remain visible as standalone markers.
Current behavior
The behavior exists in the source code. In lib/helpers.js, isMarker only treats a child as clusterable when:
child &&
child.props &&
child.props.coordinate &&
child.props.cluster !== false
So a marker like this is excluded from the Supercluster input:
<Marker
coordinate={{ latitude: 44.4759, longitude: -73.2121 }}
cluster={false}
/>
This marker is still rendered normally, but it is not added to the cluster index.
Why this is useful
This enables mixed clustering behavior:
<MapView clusteringEnabled>
<Marker coordinate={regularMarkerCoordinate} />
<Marker
coordinate={highlightedMarkerCoordinate}
cluster={false}
/>
</MapView>
Expected result:
- regular markers are clustered
- markers with
cluster={false} stay separate
- the app does not need to disable clustering globally
This is especially helpful for highlighted locations, promoted markers, selected locations, or markers that should not be merged into nearby clusters.
Documentation request
Please document cluster={false} as a supported marker-level prop.
A possible README addition could be:
### Disable clustering for a specific marker
You can exclude an individual marker from clustering by passing `cluster={false}` to the marker:
```tsx
<MapView clusteringEnabled>
<Marker coordinate={regularMarkerCoordinate} />
<Marker
coordinate={highlightedMarkerCoordinate}
cluster={false}
/>
</MapView>
Markers with cluster={false} are rendered normally, but they are not added to the cluster index.
### Notes
This behavior is very useful, but currently it is only discoverable by reading the source. Adding it to the README would make the feature much easier to find and would clarify that `cluster` is consumed by `react-native-map-clustering`, not by `react-native-maps`.
