Restrict viewing area / boundary

Question

I'm currently building a React native app where you can view a map. I also have a self made web / browser editor to edit that map.

In my editor I can see the full map, but I want to be able to define a square where the client (in the app) can't drag or zoom out side of.

Context: The app will show various information points, and I don't want the user to get lost outside of a certain perimeter.

I found Bounding box on Openstreetmap, but I'm not sure how to limit the end-user to drag or zoom outside of this bounding box.

Thanks!

If you are using Leaflet.js, you could use maxBounds.

Example:

var boundedMap=L.map....
boundedMap.setMaxBounds([[34.161818,-118.591919],[33.683211, -117.734985]]);

to restrict a map.
