leaflet-clonelayer

Leaflet layer instances cannot be added to different maps in one javascript runtime. leaflet-clonelayer clones layers to allow reuse.

• Works with leaflet 1.0.3, for Leaflet 0.7.7 support use leaflet-clonelayer@1.0.2
• Also clones a layer's options (including renderers)
• Used in jieter/Leaflet.layerscontrol-minimap

Example

var cloneLayer = require('leaflet-clonelayer');
 
var layer = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
    attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a>'
}).addTo(map1);
console.log(L.stamp(layer));  // 1
 
var cloned = cloneLayer(layer);
console.log(L.stamp(cloned));  // 2
 
// Different _leaflet_id, so now we can safely add it to another map
cloned.addTo(map2);
