This plugin depends on either Bootstrap, Font-Awesome, or Ionicons for the rendering of the icons. See these urls for more information:

For Font-Awesome

Using the plugin with Font Awesome or Bootstrap

• 1) First, follow the steps for including Font-Awesome or Twitter bootstrap or Ionicons into your application.

For Font-Awesome, steps are located here:

For Bootstrap, steps are here:

http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.ionicframework.com/ionicons/1.5.2/css/ionicons.min.css">

• 2) Next, copy the dist/images directory, awesome-markers.css, and awesome-markers.js to your project and include them:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/leaflet.awesome-svg-markers.css">

<script src="js/leaflet.awesome-svg-markers.js"></script>

• 3) Now use the plugin to create a marker like this:

  // Creates a red marker with the coffee icon
  var redMarker = L.AwesomeSVGMarkers.icon({
    icon: 'coffee',
    markerColor: 'red'
  });
      
  L.marker([51.941196,4.512291], {icon: redMarker}).addTo(map);

Tips & Tricks

Tweak size and positioning of the icons:

    .awesome-marker i {
        font-size: 18px;
        margin-top: 8px;
    }

SVG Icons

Using the plugin with Ionicons + a framework

Awesome SVG Markers offers support for Ionicons when used with a framework of your choice. Please note that simply importing the library into a HTML document will most likely fail.

Start by importing the necessary libraries:

import {
  accessibility     // We're importing the accessibility icon here. You can import whichever icon you want
} from 'ionicons/icons';
import L from "leaflet";
import "leaflet/dist/leaflet.css";
import "leaflet.awesome-svg-markers/dist/leaflet.awesome-svg-markers.css";
import "leaflet.awesome-svg-markers";

Set up a simple map:

const map = L.map("mapContainer", { zoomControl: false})    // Given that the HTML document has an element with a mapContainer ID
      .setView([55.6, 13], 15);

L.tileLayer("http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png", {
      attribution:
        '&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
    }).addTo(map);

Create an SVG icon based on the Ionics icon imported above:

const myIcon = L.AwesomeMarkers.icon({
        svgIcon: accessibility,     // The Ionicon icon, which contains an SVG object
        markerColor: 'green',
        iconColor: '#ccc'
      });

Finally, add the icon to the map:

    L.marker( [55.6, 13], {icon: myIcon}).addTo(map);

Your own SVG icons

You can use your own SVG icons as well. This can be done without a framework. An example of this is available.

Tips & Tricks
