Simple way for transform any JSON data source in a Leaflet Layer!
A Dynamic Leaflet Layer that load JSON data in layer in the form of markers with attributes
and minimize remote requests with caching system
Tested in Leaflet 0.7.3
var l = new L.LayerJSON({url: "search.php?lat1={lat1}&lat2={lat2}&lon1={lon1}&lon2={lon2}" });
map.addLayer(l);
Data Source:
- url remote url,
- jsonpParam callback parameter name for jsonp request append to url
- callData alternative function that return data (if use $.ajax() set async=false)
Filtering:
- propertyItems json property used contains data items
- propertyLoc json property used as Latlng of marker, if is array: ['lat','lon'] select double fields
- locAsGeoJSON interpret location data as [lon, lat] value pair instead of [lat, lon]
- propertyTitle json property used as title in marker
- filterData function for pre-filter data
Rendering:
- dataToMarker function that will be used for creating markers from json points
- onEachMarker function called on each marker created, similar to option onEachFeature of L.GeoJSON
- layerTarget pre-existing layer to add markers(L.LayerGroup, L.MarkerClusterGroup)
- buildPopup function popup builder
- optsPopup popup options
- buildIcon function icon builder
Caching:
- minShift min shift for update data(in meters)
- updateOutBounds request new data only if current bounds higher than last bounds
- precision number of digit send to server for lat,lng precision
