Twitter Bootstrap/Font-Awesome icons

This plugin depends on Bootstrap or Font-Awesome for the rendering of the icons. The Font-Awesome fonts and CSS classes could be included in the project. See these urls for more information:

• http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/
• http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/#integration

Or if you are using bootstrap:

• http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/

Using the plugin

Copy the dist/images directory and css/js files to your project and include them:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/leaflet.awesome-markers.css">

<script src="js/leaflet.awesome-markers.js"></script>

Now use the plugin to create a marker like this:

// Creates a red marker with the coffee icon
var redMarker = L.AwesomeMarkers.icon({
  icon: 'coffee', 
  color: 'red'
})

L.marker([51.941196,4.512291], {icon: redMarker}).addTo(map);

Supported colors

The 'color' property currently supports these strings:

• 'red'
• 'darkred'
• 'orange'
• 'green'
• 'darkgreen'
• 'blue'
• 'darkblue'
• 'purple'
• 'darkpurple'
• 'cadetblue'

Supported icons

The 'icon' property supports these strings:

• 'home'
• 'glass'
• 'flag'
• 'star'
• 'bookmark'
• .... and many more, see: http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/#icons-new
• Or: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#icons

Spinning icons (only Font-Awesome)

You can make any icon spin by setting the spin option to true:

// Creates a red marker with the coffee icon
var redMarker = L.AwesomeMarkers.icon({
  icon: 'spinner', 
  color: 'red',
  spin: true
})

L.marker([51.941196,4.512291], {icon: redMarker}).addTo(map);

Color of the icon

By default the icons are white, but you can set the color to black with the iconColor option. 'white' & 'black' are the only ones supported.

// Creates a red marker with the coffee icon
var redMarker = L.AwesomeMarkers.icon({
  icon: 'flag', 
  color: 'red',
  iconColor: 'black'
})

L.marker([51.941196,4.512291], {icon: redMarker}).addTo(map);
