wrld.js

Used to open popups in certain places of the map. Use Map#openPopup to open popups while making sure that only one popup is open at one time (recommended for usability), or use Map#addLayer to open as many as you want.

Usage example

If you want to just bind a popup to marker click and then open it, it's really easy:

marker.bindPopup(popupContent).openPopup();

Path overlays like polylines also have a bindPopup method. Here's a more complicated way to open a popup on a map:

var popup = L.popup()
	.setLatLng(latlng)
	.setContent('<p>Hello world!<br />This is a nice popup.</p>')
	.openOn(map);

Creation

Factory Description
L.popup( <Popup options> options?, <ILayer> source? ) Instantiates a Popup object given an optional options object that describes its appearance and location and an optional source object that is used to tag the popup with a reference to the ILayer to which it refers.
Option Type Default Description
maxWidth Number 300 Max width of the popup.
minWidth Number 50 Min width of the popup.
maxHeight Number null If set, creates a scrollable container of the given height inside a popup if its content exceeds it.
autoPan Boolean true Set it to false if you don't want the map to do panning animation to fit the opened popup.
keepInView Boolean false Set it to true if you want to prevent users from panning the popup off of the screen while it is open.
closeButton Boolean true Controls the presence of a close button in the popup.
