Leaflet-rotatedmarker NPM

Leaflet Rotated Marker

Enables rotation of marker icons in Leaflet.

Compatible with versions 0.7. and 1. of Leaflet. Doesn't work on IE < 9.

npm install leaflet-rotatedmarker

Usage

L.marker([48.8631169, 2.3708919], {
    rotationAngle: 45
}).addTo(map);

API

It simply extends the L.Marker class with two new options:

Option	Type	Default	Description
`rotationAngle`	`Number`	0	Rotation angle, in degrees, clockwise.
`rotationOrigin`	`String`	`'bottom center'`	The rotation center, as a `transform-origin` CSS rule.

and two new methods:

Method	Returns	Description
`setRotationAngle(newAngle)`	`this`	Sets the rotation angle value.
`setRotationOrigin(newOrigin)`	`this`	Sets the rotation origin value.

The default rotationOrigin value will rotate around the bottom center point, corresponding to the "tip" of the marker for most commonly used icons. If your marker icon has no tip, or you want to rotate around its center, use center center.

Note

On purpose, it doesn't rotate marker icon shadows. Mainly because there is no way to make it look good with the perspective of classic, pin type shadows (anyway, these shadows are so 2005, right?).

So just disable icon shadows, or use simple ones which will work for all marker angles.
