Curated community resources
Quick answer
This tutorial curates the entry points that matter for Leaflet: the official site, API reference, tutorials and examples, the plugin list, the core repository and its changelog. It maps common situations, such as needing a basemap or clustering ten thousand points, to specific plugins like leaflet-providers and Leaflet.markercluster. It ends with a checklist for spotting outdated tutorials. Readers get a trustworthy starting list instead of random search results.
Key points
- Start from the official plugin list to see maintenance status and supported versions.
- Use leaflet-providers for basemap URLs and keep its attribution strings unchanged.
- Judge tutorials by version, date and deprecated APIs such as L.mapbox or jQuery.
Example
npm view leaflet version
npm view leaflet time.modified
npm view leaflet.markercluster versionNotes
- Plugin scripts must load after Leaflet, or the page throws is not a function.
- Clustering and heat plugins need their own CSS, otherwise counts and colors misalign.
