Switching Map Labels Inwards Leaflet

Over the end few days I've been experimenting alongside Map Panes inwards Leafet.js. There is a dainty introduction to Map Panes inwards the Leaflet documentation if yous desire to larn to a greater extent than nearly how they piece of occupation inwards the Leaflet interactive map library.

In a ship service yesterday I looked at how yous could travel Map Panes to fade map labels inwards as well as out on pinnacle of a base of operations map. Today I started thinking nearly why yous mightiness desire to travel this characteristic on a map. One argue mightiness last to switch betwixt 2 dissimilar sets of map labels. Using this characteristic yous could take away i railroad train of map labels as well as and so add together a completely dissimilar railroad train of map labels to a map.

By peril a few days agone I created a railroad train of custom map labels for an Urban Dictionary Map of San Francisco. I accept right away added 2 buttons to this map to allow yous to switch betwixt existent map labels as well as my custom map labels based on the Urban Dictionary Definition of Bay Area locations.

The Urban Dictionary Map of San Francisco has iii base of operations map layers; CartoDB's Light (no labels) map style, a custom made Urban Dictionary labels map as well as CartoDB's Light - Only Labels map style.

Map Panes inwards Leaflet allows yous to fellowship map pane layers. In the Urban Dictionary map CartoDB's Light maps is on the bottom as well as the 2 label alone map styles sit down on pinnacle of this layer. I as well as so suit the opacity of the 2 label map layers to switch betwixt the 2 sets of labels. All iii map layers are thence acquaint at all times. It is simply that the opacity of i of the 2 map labels layers is ever railroad train to '0', so at anyone fourth dimension yous tin alone encounter the map information layer as well as i of the 2 label layers.

You mightiness respect that I've likewise used JQuery to add together a fade resultant when yous switch betwixt the 2 sets of map labels. When switching betwixt labels the opacity of the active label layer fades from '100' to '0' earlier switching the opacity of the other label layer to '100'.
