Display geometry using place details with Leaflet

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

This example uses JawgPlaces.Leaflet to initialize a Jawg Places Leaflet Plugin on a webpage with a Leaflet map. It will allow you to perform Place Details requests and get the original geometry (Polygon or Point).

When you are requesting geometries, you can search only one location.

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.

You can try with these examples:

openstreetmap:island:relation/966358 (Corfu, II, Greece)
whosonfirst:locality:102031307 (Tokyo, Chiyoda, Japan)
osm:venue:node/4616798278 (Jawg Maps, Bagneux, France)
