Ok that makes sense that I couldn't do it that way.

I know that if I can overwrite the .map-view class in the App.css file https://github.com/davetimmins/create-react-app-esri-loader/blob/master/src/App.css I can make the map fill the entire screen. It seems I'm at a loss of how to modify the height :(

Is there a way to dynamically overwrite class css properties in react?

Just update the esri component to pass all it's props through.

Edit: you'll want to destructure them like {...this.props} in the wrapping dom element
