Usage

Panel Item Definition formats

    {
        name: "Bar",
        icon: iconByName('bar'),
        layer: L.geoJson(Bar, {pointToLayer: featureToMarker })
    }

definition in JSON format permit to store simply the configuration type contains a Leaflet method in this case L.geoJson() args is the arguments passed to the method: L.geoJson(river)

    {
        layer: {
            type: "geoJson",
            args: [ river ]
        },
    }

definition of a group

    {
        group: "Title Group",
        collapsed: true,
        layers: [
        ...other items...
        ]
    }

Multiple active layers with icons

var baseLayers = [
    {
        active: true,
        name: "OpenStreetMap",
        layer: L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png')
    }
];
var overLayers = [
    {
        name: "Drinking Water",
        icon: '<i class="icon icon-water"></i>',
        layer: L.geoJson(WaterGeoJSON)
    },
    {
        active: true,
        name: "Parking",
        icon: '<i class="icon icon-parking"></i>',
        layer: L.geoJson(ParkingGeoJSON)
    }
];
map.addControl( new L.Control.PanelLayers(baseLayers, overLayers) );

Build panel layers from pure JSON Config

var panelJsonConfig = {
    "baselayers": [
        {
            "active": true,
            "name": "Open Cycle Map",
            "layer": {
                "type": "tileLayer",
                "args": [
                    "https://{s}.tile.opencyclemap.org/cycle/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
                ]
            }
        },
        {
            "name": "Landscape",
            "layer": {
                "type": "tileLayer",
                "args": [
                    "https://{s}.tile3.opencyclemap.org/landscape/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
                ]
            }
        },        
        {
            "name": "Transports",
            "layer": {
                "type": "tileLayer",
                "args": [
                    "https://{s}.tile2.opencyclemap.org/transport/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
                ]
            }
        }
    ],
    "overlayers": [
        {
            "name": "Terrain",
            "layer": {
            "type": "tileLayer",
            "args": [
                "https://toolserver.org/~cmarqu/hill/{z}/{x}/{y}.png", {
                "opacity": 0.5
                }
            ]
            }
        }
    ]
};
L.control.panelLayers(panelJsonConfig.baseLayers, panelJsonConfig.overLayers).addTo(map);

Grouping of layers

L.control.panelLayers(
    [
        {
            name: "Open Street Map",
            layer: osmLayer
        },
        {
            group: "Walking layers",
            layers: [
                {
                    name: "Open Cycle Map",
                    layer: L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tile.opencyclemap.org/cycle/{z}/{x}/{y}.png')
                },
                {
                    name: "Hiking",
                    layer: L.tileLayer("https://toolserver.org/tiles/hikebike/{z}/{x}/{y}.png")
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            group: "Road layers",
            layers: [
                {
                    name: "Transports",
                    layer: L.tileLayer("https://{s}.tile2.opencyclemap.org/transport/{z}/{x}/{y}.png")
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    {collapsibleGroups: true}
).addTo(map);

Collapse some layers' groups

L.control.panelLayers([
    {
        name: "Open Street Map",
        layer: osmLayer
    },
    {
        group: "Walking layers",
        layers: [
            {
                name: "Open Cycle Map",
                layer: L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tile.opencyclemap.org/cycle/{z}/{x}/{y}.png')
            },
            {
                name: "Hiking",
                layer: L.tileLayer("https://toolserver.org/tiles/hikebike/{z}/{x}/{y}.png")
            }           
        ]
    },
    {
        group: "Road layers",
        collapsed: true,
        layers: [
            {
                name: "Transports",
                layer: L.tileLayer("https://{s}.tile2.opencyclemap.org/transport/{z}/{x}/{y}.png")
            }
        ]
    }
]).addTo(map);

Add layers dynamically at runtime

var panel = L.control.panelLayers();

$.getJSON('some/url/path.geojson', function(data){
    panel.addOverlay({
        name: "Drinking Water",
        icon: '<i class="icon icon-water"></i>',
        layer: L.geoJson(data)
    });
});

Build

This plugin support Grunt for building process. Therefore the deployment require NPM installed in your system. After you've made sure to have npm working, run this in command line:

npm install
grunt
