Based on the answer by MasterAM.

If you using react hooks, this one could do the trick:

import React, { useMemo, useEffect } from 'react';

const createControlledPromise = () => {
  let resolver;
  let rejector;
  const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    resolver = resolve;
    rejector = reject;
  });
  return { promise, resolver, rejector };
};

const useMarker = ({ lat, lng }) => {
  const { 
    promise: apiPromise, 
    resolver: handleGoogleApiLoaded 
  } = useMemo(
    createControlledPromise,
    []
  ).current;

  useEffect(
    () => {
      let marker;
      apiPromise.then(api => {
        const { map, maps } = api;
        marker = new maps.Marker({ position: { lat, lng }, map });
      });
      return () => {
        if (marker) {
          marker.setMap(null);
        }
      };
    },
    [lat, lon],
  );
  return { handleGoogleApiLoaded };
};

const Location = ({
  location: { locationName, lat, lng }
}) => {
  const { handleGoogleApiLoaded } = useMarker({ lat, lng });
  return (
    

      
{locationName}
      

        
      
    
  );
};
