< p > Let's create a map instance, set its view to the center of London and add a pretty CloudMade tile layer to it. First we'll initialize the map:< / p >

< pre > < code class = "javascript" > var map = new L.Map('map');< / code > < / pre >
< p > By default (as we didn't pass any options when creating the map instance), all mouse and touch interactions on the map are enabled, and it has zoom and attribution controls.< / p >
2011-04-27 23:18:20 +08:00
< p > Next we'll create a tile layer to add to our map, in this case it's a CloudMade tile layer with Fresh style. Creating a tile layer usually involves setting the URL template for the tile images (get yours at < a href = "http://cloudmade.com/register" > CloudMade< / a > ), the attribution text and the maximum zoom level of the layer:< / p >

maxZoom: 18
});< / code > < / pre >
< p > It's worth noting that Leaflet is provider-agnostic, meaning that it doesn't enforce a particular choice of providers for tiles, and it doesn't even contain a single provider-specific line of code, so you're free to use other providers if you need to (we'd recommend CloudMade though, it looks beautiful).< / p >
2011-04-27 06:26:03 +08:00
< p > Finally we'll set the map view to the center of London at 13th zoom level and add our tile layer (see the resulting map above):< / p >
< pre > < code class = "javascript" > var london = new L.LatLng(51.505, -0.09); // geographical point (longitude and latitude)
map.setView(london, 13).addLayer(cloudmade);< / code > < / pre >
< p > Make sure this code is below both the map < code > div< / code > and < code > leaflet.js< / code > inclusion, or in a < code > window.load< / code > or < code > document.ready< / code > event handler.< / p >

2011-04-27 06:26:03 +08:00
< p > Every time something happens in Leaflet, e.g. user clicks on a marker or map zoom changes, the corresponding object sends an event which you can subscribe to with a function. It allows you to react to user interaction:< / p >
< pre > < code class = "javascript" > map.on('click', onMapClick);
2012-02-14 23:02:29 +08:00
2011-04-27 06:26:03 +08:00
function onMapClick(e) {
alert("You clicked the map at " + e.latlng);
}< / code > < / pre >
2012-02-14 23:02:29 +08:00
2011-04-27 06:26:03 +08:00
< p > Each object has its own set of events — see < a href = "../reference.html" > documentation< / a > for details. The first argument of the listener function is an event object — it contains useful information about the event that happened. For example, map click event object (< code > e< / code > in the example above) has < code > latlng< / code > property which is a location at which the click occured.< / p >
