Change style and placeholder with Leaflet

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

This example uses JawgPlaces.Leaflet to initialize the Jawg Places Leaflet Plugin on a webpage with a Leaflet map. It will allow you to add custom classes to your input and change its placeholder.

Checkout all options available on Jawg Places JS for Leaflet on our type documentation.

💡 Don't forget to call either map.addControl(jawgPlaces) or jawgPlaces.attachMap(map) to initialize and connect the input to the map.

The value <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN> in the <script> tag must be replaced by your own access token from the Jawg Lab.
