leaflet-easyPrint

A simple leaflet plugin which adds an icon to print or export a map.

Features

  • Supports resizing to prefined sizes (A4 Landscape & Portait) as well as custom sizes
  • Supports saving to png, as well as printing
  • Compatible with both Leaflet v1+ and 0.7
  • Tested on Chrome, Firefox, IE & Edge

Check out the demo.

Download

You can either download this repo directly or install via NPM.

npm install leaflet-easyprint

Options

You can pass a number of options to the plugin to control various settings.

Option Type Default Description
title string 'Print map' Sets the text which appears as the tooltip of the print/export button
position Leaflet control position 'topleft' Positions the print button
sizeModes array Current Options available include Current, A4Portrait, A4Landscape or a custom size object
exportOnly Boolean false If set to true the map is exported to a png file
tileLayer Leaflet control position null A tile layer that you can wait for to draw (helpful when resizing)
tileWait Integer 500 How long to wait for the tiles to draw (helpful when resizing)
filename string 'map' Name of the file if export only option set to true
hidden Boolean false Set to true if you don't want to display the toolbar. Instead you can create your own buttons or fire print events programtically. You still need to call addTo(map) to set the leaflet map context.

Example

L.easyPrint({
	title: 'My awesome print button',
	position: 'bottomright',
	sizeModes: ['A4Portrait', 'A4Landscape']
}).addTo(map);

Methods / Using programmatically

Method Options Description
printMap(size) Print size name, either 'CurrentSize', 'A4Portait', 'A4Landscape', or the className of a custom size Manually trigger a print operation 
var printPlugin = L.easyPrint({
	hidden: true,
	sizeModes: ['A4Portrait']
}).addTo(map); 
printPlugin.printMap('A4Portait');

Custom Print Sizes

You can create additional print sizes by passing in some options. Width & Height are defined in pixels at 90DPI. THe css class ought to contain a background base64 encoded svg image.

var a3Size = {
	width: 2339,
	height: 3308,
	className: 'a3CssClass',
	tooltip: 'A custom A3 size'
}

// in css 
.easyPrintHolder .a3CssClass { 
  background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml;utf8;base64,PD9...go=);
}
