A Leaflet plugin to create a custom POI overlay - thanks to the OSM dataset and the Overpass API
checkout the demo
You can use bower to install leaflet-layer-overpass.
Simply run
$ bower install --save leaflet-layer-overpass
After that you can include and use the OverpassLayer.css
and OverpassLayer.js
files (or OverPassLayer.min.js
if you want the minified version) from the dist
folder in your html.
var attr_osm = 'Map data © <a href="http://openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
attr_overpass = 'POI via <a href="http://www.overpass-api.de/">Overpass API</a>';
var osm = new L.TileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {opacity: 0.7, attribution: [attr_osm, attr_overpass].join(', ')});
var map = new L.Map('map').addLayer(osm).setView(new L.LatLng(52.265, 10.524), 14);
//OverPassAPI overlay
var opl = new L.OverPassLayer({
query: "node(BBOX)['amenity'='post_box'];out;",
});
map.addLayer(opl);
In order to get a valid query the Overpass-turbo IDE might help.
You can specify an options object as an argument of L.OverPassLayer.
options: {
endpoint: "http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/",
query: "node(BBOX)['amenity'='post_box'];out;",
debug: false,
callback: function(data) {
for(var i=0;i<data.elements.length;i++) {
var e = data.elements[i];
if (e.id in this.instance._ids) return;
this.instance._ids[e.id] = true;
var pos = new L.LatLng(e.lat, e.lon);
var popup = this.instance._poiInfo(e.tags,e.id);
var color = e.tags.collection_times ? 'green':'red';
var circle = L.circle(pos, 50, {
color: color,
fillColor: '#fa3',
fillOpacity: 0.5
})
.bindPopup(popup);
this.instance.addLayer(circle);
}
},
minZoomIndicatorOptions: {
position: 'topright',
minZoomMessageNoLayer: "no layer assigned",
minZoomMessage: "current Zoom-Level: CURRENTZOOM all data at Level: MINZOOMLEVEL"
}
};

In order to contribute to the project you should first clone the repository. The javascript source files
reside in the src
folder and are concatenated and minified by gulp. If you want to make changes
make them in the src
folder and then build the dist
file with gulp.
For that you first need to install gulp if you do not have installed it yet
$ npm install --global gulp
Then install all the needed packages for this project:
$ npm install
And then just run
gulp
after you made your changes. This will combine (and minify) the files and put them into the dist
folder.
- OverPass result to -> geoJSON to -> Leaflet Layer to support ways and areas as well (see also PoiMap, OverPassTurbo)
- improve popup text. use links, format addresses and contact details (compare with OpenLinkMap)
- improve caching - allow to store data for some days in browser
