I'm trying to add my local GeoJSON files to my Leaflet web page












2















I'm quite new to JavaScript and I have been trying to add my GeoJSON files to a web page. I can't seem to figure out how to get the GeoJSON to actually load. I've checked it using GeoJson.io and it draws correctly there. I just can't get it to load on my page. The OSM portion works just fine no issues showing that.



L.tileLayer('https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/{id}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoibWFwYm94IiwiYSI6ImNpejY4NXVycTA2emYycXBndHRqcmZ3N3gifQ.rJcFIG214AriISLbB6B5aw', {

var StratStyle = {

};

var geojson = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("StratfordBoundary", {style:StratStyle});
geojson.addTo(map);

  • var mymap = L.map('map1').setView([43.370917,-80.983042], 13); creates your map variable. It must be in the code so later you can actually add your geojson to this variable which contains your map. Put it right in front of L.tileLayer inside your js-script.

});
</script>

</body>

</html>


The errors I could find:





  • L.GeoJson.ajax needs to be L.GeoJSON.AJAX


  • var mymap = L.map('map1').setView([43.370917,-80.983042], 13); needs to be in your script, not inside your style definition

  • The div container for your map was missing


However, the .html file above now works fine for me with my own test .geojson. I just drew a simple polygon in QGIS and saved it as StratfordBoundary.geojson (EPSG:4326) in the same folder as the .html file.





Old answer:



Try without a style first until it works:



var geojson = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("StratfordBoundary.geojson");
geojson.addTo(mymap);


Add the filetype and check if the path to your .geojson is correct. Also make sure to point to the correct map instance you are using. I assume it is mymap as you use this for OSM and this one is working. If its working you can try:



var geojson = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("StratfordBoundary.geojson", {style:StratStyle});
geojson.addTo(mymap);


It also seems like you are pointing to a wrong path for the plugin. It should be without a / at the beginning:



<script src="js/leaflet-0.7.2/leaflet.ajax.min.js"></script>


Alternatively you can also use jQuery with $.getJSON. Here is an example:



$.getJSON("StratfordBoundary.geojson", function (data) {
var StratfordBoundary = L.geoJSON(data,
{
onEachFeature: function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {
layer.bindPopup('<strong>' + feature.properties.Title + '</strong><br><br>Description: ' + feature.properties.Descr);
}
}).addTo(mymap);
});


Also try the console of your webbrowser. This may help finding your issue. Firefox and Chrome

  • When I use the first option you gave the page loads with OSM but the data still does not load on the page and there are no errors in the browser console. If I were to use Jquery would I have to call it in the header like I do with ajax?

  • Did you check if the path to your file is correct? Yes, call jQuery in your header like you already do and add the snippet to your script. Another thing I just noted is that you use mymap for osm and map for your geojson. Use mymap for both then. Just edited my answer with this.

Most probably geoJSON layer does not show because data is not loaded yet when you add layer to the map. Try with this code:



var geojson = L.geoJson.ajax('StratfordBoundary', {style: StratStyle});
geojson.on('data:loaded', function() {
mymap.addLayer(this);
});


As PVar wrote, also make sure that geoJSON file named StratfordBoundary actually exists on home directory of your project on server.



EDIT1: If you run your code locally on file system, then you must add local: true option to ajax call:



var geojson = L.geoJson.ajax('StratfordBoundary', {style: StratStyle, local: true});

Alternatively you can also use jQuery with $.getJSON. Here is an example:



$.getJSON("StratfordBoundary.geojson", function (data) {
var StratfordBoundary = L.geoJSON(data,
{
onEachFeature: function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {
layer.bindPopup('<strong>' + feature.properties.Title + '</strong><br><br>Description: ' + feature.properties.Descr);
}
}).addTo(mymap);
});


Also try the console of your webbrowser. This may help finding your issue. Firefox and Chrome

  • When I use the first option you gave the page loads with OSM but the data still does not load on the page and there are no errors in the browser console. If I were to use Jquery would I have to call it in the header like I do with ajax?

  • Did you check if the path to your file is correct? Yes, call jQuery in your header like you already do and add the snippet to your script. Another thing I just noted is that you use mymap for osm and map for your geojson. Use mymap for both then. Just edited my answer with this.

  • The geojson file is in the same folder as the HTML file so I just put the filename. Also when i changed "map" to "mymap" it still doesnt load the polygon

The errors I could find:





  • L.GeoJson.ajax needs to be L.GeoJSON.AJAX


  • var mymap = L.map('map1').setView([43.370917,-80.983042], 13); needs to be in your script, not inside your style definition

  • The div container for your map was missing


However, the .html file above now works fine for me with my own test .geojson. I just drew a simple polygon in QGIS and saved it as StratfordBoundary.geojson (EPSG:4326) in the same folder as the .html file.





Old answer:



Try without a style first until it works:



var geojson = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("StratfordBoundary.geojson");
geojson.addTo(mymap);


Add the filetype and check if the path to your .geojson is correct. Also make sure to point to the correct map instance you are using. I assume it is mymap as you use this for OSM and this one is working. If its working you can try:



var geojson = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("StratfordBoundary.geojson", {style:StratStyle});
geojson.addTo(mymap);


It also seems like you are pointing to a wrong path for the plugin. It should be without a / at the beginning:



<script src="js/leaflet-0.7.2/leaflet.ajax.min.js"></script>


Alternatively you can also use jQuery with $.getJSON. Here is an example:



$.getJSON("StratfordBoundary.geojson", function (data) {
var StratfordBoundary = L.geoJSON(data,
{
onEachFeature: function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {

Most probably geoJSON layer does not show because data is not loaded yet when you add layer to the map. Try with this code:



var geojson = L.geoJson.ajax('StratfordBoundary', {style: StratStyle});
geojson.on('data:loaded', function() {
mymap.addLayer(this);
});


As PVar wrote, also make sure that geoJSON file named StratfordBoundary actually exists on home directory of your project on server.



EDIT1: If you run your code locally on file system, then you must add local: true option to ajax call:



var geojson = L.geoJson.ajax('StratfordBoundary', {style: StratStyle, local: true});
