How center the new location of Google Map on React?

Question

I use google-map-react to display a Google Map with Custom Marker to show a location.

Can i change the location succesfully, its mean, passing lat and lng to the map component and put the marker on the new location, butthe view of the map its still on the older location.

How can i center on the new location?

Main Component

Lat and Lng starts with a coordinates, whit setState put a new

Don't put the entire component but it's the way I call the map

return (
    <div className="main">
        <div className="main__map">
            <TheMap center={[this.state.lat, this.state.lng]} />
        </div>
    </div>
)

TheMap Component

import React,{useState , useEffect} from 'react';
import GoogleMapReact from 'google-map-react';

function TheMap(props){
    const [cordinates , setCordinates] = useState(props);
    const MyCustomMarker = () => <span class="material-icons">place</span>;

    useEffect(() => {
       setCordinates(props);
    }, [props])

    return(
        <GoogleMapReact
            yesIWantToUseGoogleMapApiInternals={true}
            bootstrapURLKeys={{key:'THE KEY'}}
            defaultZoom={16}
            center={cordinates.center}
        >
            <MyCustomMarker
                lat={cordinates.center[0]}
                lng={cordinates.center[1]}
            />
        </GoogleMapReact>
    )
}

export default TheMap

You should set the default coordinates to any location by default, for example [10.00, 10.00], then change the dependency array of useEffect to [props.center], finally set the coordinates value to props.center.

The map component

import React,{useState , useEffect} from 'react';
import GoogleMapReact from 'google-map-react';

function TheMap(props){
    const [cordinates , setCordinates] = useState([10, 10]);
    const MyCustomMarker = () => <span class="material-icons">place</span>;

    useEffect(() => {
       setCordinates(props.center);
    }, [props.center])

    return(
        <GoogleMapReact
            yesIWantToUseGoogleMapApiInternals={true}
            bootstrapURLKeys={{key:'THE KEY'}}
            defaultZoom={16}
            center={cordinates}
        >
            <MyCustomMarker
                lat={cordinates[0]}
                lng={cordinates[1]}
            />
        </GoogleMapReact>
    )
}

export default TheMap
