Put a div element with the id map
where you want your map to be:
<div id="map"></div>
Make sure the map container has a defined height, for example by setting it in CSS:
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
html,
body,
#map {
height: 100%;
}
Now you’re ready to initialize the map and do some stuff with it.
Lets start by setting up the BaseMap services. See (Docs) for more info:
//Init Overlays
var overlays = {};
//Init BaseMaps
var basemaps = {
"OpenStreetMaps": L.tileLayer(
"https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",
{
minZoom: 2,
maxZoom: 19,
id: "osm.streets"
}
),
"Google-Map": L.tileLayer(
"https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=r&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}",
{
minZoom: 2,
maxZoom: 19,
id: "google.street"
}
),
"Google-Satellite": L.tileLayer(
"https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=s&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}",
{
minZoom: 2,
maxZoom: 19,
id: "google.satellite"
}
),
"Google-Hybrid": L.tileLayer(
"https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}",
{
minZoom: 2,
maxZoom: 19,
id: "google.hybrid"
}
)
};
Next we setup the map options such as center and zoom.
//Map Options
var mapOptions = {
zoomControl: false,
attributionControl: false,
center: [-29.0529434318608, 152.01910972595218],
zoom: 10,
layers: [basemaps.OpenStreetMaps]
};
Finally we can initialise the map
//Render Main Map
var map = L.map("map", mapOptions);
Initialise Layer Control and add it to the Map:
var layerControl = L.control.layers(basemaps, overlays).addTo(map);
Initialise an editable layer and add it to the Map:
var editableLayers = new L.FeatureGroup();
map.addLayer(editableLayers);
Initialise the Leaflet Draw Control and add it to the Map:
var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
position: 'topright',
draw: {
polyline: true,
polygon: {
allowIntersection: false, // Restricts shapes to simple polygons
drawError: {
color: '#e1e100', // Color the shape will turn when intersects
message: '<strong>Oh snap!<strong> you can\'t draw that!' // Message that will show when intersect
}
},
circle: true, // Turns off this drawing tool
rectangle: true,
marker: true
},
edit: {
featureGroup: editableLayers, //REQUIRED!!
remove: true
}
});
map.addControl(drawControl);
Setup listeners for Leaflet Draw:
//On Draw Create Event
map.on(L.Draw.Event.CREATED, function(e) {
var type = e.layerType,
layer = e.layer;
if (type === 'marker') {
layer.bindPopup('LatLng: ' + layer.getLatLng().lat + ',' + layer.getLatLng().lng).openPopup();
}
editableLayers.addLayer(layer);
layerGeoJSON = editableLayers.toGeoJSON();
alert("GEOJSON FORMAT\r\n" + JSON.stringify(layerGeoJSON));
var wkt_options = {};
var geojson_format = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON();
var testFeature = geojson_format.read(layerGeoJSON);
var wkt = new OpenLayers.Format.WKT(wkt_options);
var out = wkt.write(testFeature);
alert("WKT FORMAT\r\n" + out);
});
//On Draw Edit Event
map.on(L.Draw.Event.EDITED, function(e) {
var type = e.layerType,
layer = e.layer;
layerGeoJSON = editableLayers.toGeoJSON();
alert("GEOJSON FORMAT\r\n" + JSON.stringify(layerGeoJSON));
var wkt_options = {};
var geojson_format = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON();
var testFeature = geojson_format.read(layerGeoJSON);
var wkt = new OpenLayers.Format.WKT(wkt_options);
var out = wkt.write(testFeature);
alert("WKT FORMAT\r\n" + out);
});
//On Draw Delete Event
map.on(L.Draw.Event.DELETED, function(e) {
var type = e.layerType,
layer = e.layer;
layerGeoJSON = editableLayers.toGeoJSON();
alert("GEOJSON FORMAT\r\n" + JSON.stringify(layerGeoJSON));
var wkt_options = {};
var geojson_format = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON();
var testFeature = geojson_format.read(layerGeoJSON);
var wkt = new OpenLayers.Format.WKT(wkt_options);
var out = wkt.write(testFeature);
alert("WKT FORMAT\r\n" + out);
});

I got to the point where I stringified the data on my own. The problem is to save it in a file and then retrieve it in real time so all users can see the data points.
Did you need this to save to separate layers or just on the same layer?
It's both. The points themselves and the layer they are in.
