leaflet-markers-canvas

A Leaflet plugin to render many markers in a canvas instead of the DOM.

This is a complete rewrite of Leaflet.Canvas-Markers by Eugene Voynov. Thank you for the inspiration.

Demo

Here is a demo of 10000 markers, displayed in one canvas.

Usage

Dependencies

Leaflet and RBush must be available globally or installed as peer-dependencies.

Install

• Install from npm: npm i leaflet-markers-canvas
• or download leaflet-markers-canvas.js

Exemple

var map = L.map("map").setView([59.9578, 30.2987], 10);
var tiles = L.tileLayer("http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png", {
  attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a>',
  preferCanvas: true,
}).addTo(map);

var markersCanvas = new L.MarkersCanvas();
markersCanvas.addTo(map);

var icon = L.icon({
  iconUrl: "marker.png",
  iconSize: [20, 32],
  iconAnchor: [10, 0],
});

var markers = [];

for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
  var marker = L.marker(
    [58.5578 + Math.random() * 1.8, 29.0087 + Math.random() * 3.6],
    { icon }
  )
    .bindPopup("I Am " + i)
    .on({
      mouseover(e) {
        this.openPopup();
      },
      mouseout(e) {
        this.closePopup();
      },
    });

  markers.push(marker);
}
