Leaflet.contextmenu

A context menu for Leaflet. See the demo.

Now supporting Leaflet 1.0

Usage

The context menu is implemented as a map interaction handler. To use the plugin include the script and enable using the map contextmenu option.

var map = L.map('map', {
	contextmenu: true,
    contextmenuWidth: 140,
	contextmenuItems: [{
	    text: 'Show coordinates',
	    callback: showCoordinates
	}, {
	    text: 'Center map here',
	    callback: centerMap
	}, '-', {
	    text: 'Zoom in',
	    icon: 'images/zoom-in.png',
	    callback: zoomIn
	}, {
	    text: 'Zoom out',
	    icon: 'images/zoom-out.png',
	    callback: zoomOut
	}]
});


function showCoordinates (e) {
	alert(e.latlng);
}

function centerMap (e) {
	map.panTo(e.latlng);
}

function zoomIn (e) {
	map.zoomIn();
}

function zoomOut (e) {
	map.zoomOut();
}

The context menu mixin allows markers and vector features to extend the map context menu with their own menu items. In addition to the menu item options available for the map context menu marker's also accept an index option that specifies where the menu item should be inserted relative to the existing map menu items.

L.marker(ll, {
    contextmenu: true,
    contextmenuItems: [{
        text: 'Marker item',
        index: 0
    }, {
        separator: true,
        index: 1
    }]
}).addTo(map);

A reference to the map's context menu can be obtained through the map variable e.g. map.contextmenu.

showAt(L.Point/L.LatLng, [data])

Opens the map's context menu at the specified point. data is an optional hash of key/value pairs that will be included on the map's contextmenu.show event.

hide()

Hides the map's context menu if showing.

addItem(options)

Mixin Methods

The following methods are available on supported layer types when using the context menu mixin.

bindContextMenu(contextMenuOptions)

Binds a context menu to the feature the method is called on.

unbindContextMenu()

Unbinds the context menu previously bound to the feature with the bindContextMenu() method.

GeoJSON Data

To use the context menu with GeoJSON data it's necessary to use one of the GeoJSON layer's pointToLayer or onEachFeature methods.

Point Data

var jsonLayer = L.geoJson(jsonData, {
	pointToLayer: function (data, latLng) {
	    var marker = new L.Marker(latLng, {
	        contextmenu: true,
	        contextmenuItems: [{
	            text: 'Marker item'
	        }]
        });
	    return marker;
	}
 }).addTo(map);

Other Types

var jsonLayer = L.geoJson(jsonData, {
	onEachFeature: function (feature, layer) {
        layer.bindContextMenu({
            contextmenu: true,
	        contextmenuItems: [{
	            text: 'Marker item'
	        }]
        });
	}
 }).addTo(map);
