MapBox Boilerplate

Built on Wax.js and Leaflet.js

• This is boilerplate code that is intended as a starting point for new projects. Fork it and customize to your needs.
• Wax and Leaflet libraries are included as submodules for easy maintenance/updates.
• After forking and cloning the source, navigate to the root of the project and run the following lines to clone the submodules.

    git submodule init  
    git submodule update

Layer Switcher

• Switchable layers defined in ul.layers in index.html
• Inital layer li a should match var activelayer in app.js and have the attribute class="active"
• Base layers, initial active layer, and static overlay layers are all defined in app.js

Tooltips

• Tooltips appear on hover and display data from the MBTiles source through the Leaflet.js API

GeoJSON

• Pulling GeoJSON data from js/museums.js, can be replaced with an AJAX call for live JSON data.
• A custom marker icon is defined in js/app.js and uses img/museum-24.png
• Markers are clickable, and display popups with descriptions from the GeoJSON source
