# Leaflet.ActiveLayers It is a plugin for the Leaflet library. This plugin adds new L.Control.ActiveLayers with functionality to get currently active layers on the map. ## Example usage var attribution = '© OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA' mapnikLayer = L.tileLayer( 'http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {attribution: attribution} ) var blackAndWhite = L.tileLayer( 'http://{s}.www.toolserver.org/tiles/bw-mapnik/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {attribution: attribution} ) var clouds = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openweathermap.org/map/clouds/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', { attribution: 'Map data © OpenWeatherMap', opacity: 0.5 }) map = L.map('map', { center: new L.LatLng(39.73, -104.99), zoom: 10, layers: [mapnikLayer, clouds] }) var baseLayers = { 'Mapnik': mapnikLayer, 'Black and Whilte': blackAndWhite } var overlayLayers = { 'Clouds': clouds } var control = L.control.activeLayers(baseLayers, overlayLayers) control.addTo(map) // 'Mapnik' console.log(control.getActiveBaseLayer().name) //Clouds var overlayLayers = control.getActiveOverlayLayers() for (var overlayId in overlayLayers) { console.log(overlayLayers[overlayId].name) } ## API ### get active base layer control.getActiveBaseLayer() return object LL: { name: 'layer name on the control', layer: L.TileLayer, overlay: is overlay layer } ### get active overlay layers control.getActiveOverlayLayers() return object: {layerId: LL} where LL is the object defined in the previous method and layerId is `L.stamp(LL.layer)`
