Leaflet.Snap

Enables snapping of draggable markers to polylines and other layers !

Check out the demo !

It depends on Leaflet.GeometryUtil.

For snapping on shape drawing or edition snapping, it also depends on Leaflet.draw.

If your guide layer contains several thousands for features, adding the LayerIndex is recommended, this plugin takes advantage of the spatial index if it is available.

Usage

• Add leaflet.snap.js and leaflet.geometryutil.js (optionally leaflet.draw.js)

For markers :

    var guideLayer = ...;

    var marker = L.marker([48.488, 1.395]).addTo(map);
        marker.snapediting = new L.Handler.MarkerSnap(map, marker);
        marker.snapediting.addGuideLayer(guideLayer);
        marker.snapediting.enable();

For Leaflet.Draw :

    var guideLayers = [guides, road];

    map.drawControl.setDrawingOptions({
        polyline: { guideLayers: guideLayers },
        polygon: { guideLayers: guideLayers, snapDistance: 5 },
    });

For editing existing polylines :

    var polyline = L.polyline(...).addTo(map);
        polyline.snapediting = new L.Handler.PolylineSnap(map, polyline);
        polyline.snapediting.addGuideLayer(guideLayer);
        polyline.snapediting.enable();

Both L.Handler.MarkerSnap and L.Handler.PolylineSnap accept options as a third argument.

Options:

snapDistance : (default 15) distance in pixels where snapping occurs

snapVertices : (default true) whether layers vertices add additional snap attraction

Events :

snap ( layer, latlng ) : fired when snapped to layer at latlng

unsnap ( layer ) : fired when unsnapped from layer
