The latest stable Leaflet release is hosted on a CDN — to start using
it straight away, place this in the head
of your HTML code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet-0.7.3/leaflet.css" />
<script src="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet-0.7.3/leaflet.js"></script>
Inside the archives downloaded from the above links, you will see four things:
leaflet.js
- This is the minified Leaflet JavaScript code.leaflet-src.js
- This is the readable, unminified Leaflet JavaScript, which is sometimes helpful for debugging.leaflet.css
- This is the stylesheet for Leaflet.images
- This is a folder that contains images referenced by leaflet.css
. It must be in the same directory as leaflet.css
.Unzip the downloaded archive to your website’s directory and add this to the head
of your HTML code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/leaflet.css" />
<script src="/path/to/leaflet.js"></script> <!-- or use leaflet-src.js --!>
These download packages above only contain the library itself. If you want to download the full source code, including unit tests, files for debugging, build scripts, etc., you can download it from the GitHub repository.
Leaflet build system is powered by the Node.js platform, which installs easily and works well across all major platforms. Here are the steps to set it up:
npm install -g jake
npm install
Now that you have everything installed, run jake build
inside the Leaflet directory.
This will combine and compress the Leaflet source files, saving the build to the dist
folder.
To make a custom build of the library with only the things you need,
open build/build.html
page of the Leaflet source code contents, choose the components
(it figures out dependencies for you) and then run the command generated with it.
