Using a Hosted Version of Leaflet
The latest stable release of Leaflet is hosted on a CDN — to start using
it straight away, place this code in the head section of your HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet-0.4.5/leaflet.css" />
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet-0.4.5/leaflet.ie.css" />
<![endif]-->
<script src="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet-0.4.5/leaflet.js"></script>
Building Leaflet from the Source
Leaflet build system is powered by the Node.js platform and Jake, JSHint and UglifyJS libraries, which install easily and work well across all major platforms. Here are the steps to install it:
- Download and install Node
- Run the following commands in the command line:
npm install -g jake
npm install jshint
npm install uglify-js
Now that you have everything installed, run jake inside the Leaflet directory. This will check Leaflet source files for JavaScript errors and inconsistencies, and then combine and compress it to the dist folder.
Building a Custom Version of Leaflet
To make a custom build of the library with only the things you need, open build/build.html page of the package contents, choose the components (it figures out dependencies for you) and then run the command generated with it.
