Next Steps with Leaflet

By now, you’ve become familiar with the anatomy of a web map powered by Leaflet. You’ve learned how to set the initial zoom and center, change your basemap, and add prepared datasets as data layers. You’ve also learned how to add and customize pop-ups, as well as create a cluster map from your point data.

The following pages document some next steps you can take to continue learning webmapping powered by Leaflet. First, you are encouraged to practice downloading a brand new dataset from the web, wrapping it as a JavaScript variable, and adding it to your boilerplate map. You can also try styling your polygon layer, customizing your marker icons, or turning your marker layer into a point layer in order to style it as vector graphics. Finally, you can learn how to host your web map (and accompanying data) on a GitHub website so it can be shared to others via a link.
