Pointer Events

Leaflet 2's headline change.

Overview

This page demonstrates Pointer Events.

Live demo

The v2 pointer API

// v2 fires POINTER events; the old mousemove/mousedown are gone.
map.on("pointermove", (e) => {
    const oe = e.originalEvent;        // a native PointerEvent
    console.log(oe.pointerType,        // "mouse" | "pen" | "touch"
                oe.pressure,           // 0..1 (real for a stylus)
                oe.tiltX, oe.tiltY,    // pen tilt
                e.latlng);             // geo coordinate
});
