This was for me - we just need a way to get at the object created here: https://github.com/sul-dlss/blacklight-maps/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/blacklight-maps/blacklight-maps-browse.js#L24

There should be a standard way to do this for jQuery plugins, but I'd have to look into it.

If we do this, we may want to refactor the plugin from jQuery style to Leaflet style for better integration with other Leaflet / Leaflet plugins http://leafletjs.com/2013/06/28/leaflet-plugin-authoring-guide.html

👍

It may be that the proper way is a leaflet plugin and then define some data attributes that trigger the spawning of a "map," which sets data on that node. For instance, we've injected the map into our show view as well, and in doing so we've ripped out the generic javascript_tag initializer and written some jQuery code to trigger off a selector. It would have been nice to just have data attributes trigger it.

Is there any progress being done on this issue? I am working on a project and I would love to be able to extend some of the functionality (i.e. add new controls, add new layers, etc).

@ismail44 As far as I know no one is working on this. If you think you might be interested in taking it on, let me know.

Sure... I cannot say how quickly it be completed, but I'll go ahead and
take a swing at it.
