|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
cartodb.createLayer(map, {

||
|
type: 'cartodb',
|
||
|
sublayers: [
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
type: "http",
|
||
|
urlTemplate: "http://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/dark_nolabels/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",
|
||
|
subdomains: [ "a", "b", "c" ]
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
sql: 'select * from country_boundaries',
