Jekyll Maps

Point-based map engine generated via static Jekyll posts.

Jekyll Maps allows you to create standard Jekyll posts and show them on a map as points. Posts use the standard YYYY-MM-DD-your_stuff.markdown format required for Jekyll, which are used to create a GeoJSON in js/site.js and passed into a Leaflet map.

Point Options

The point posts require two parameters in the YAML section:

• lat - latitude
• lng - longitude

Properties

The properties of each point are populated dynamically. Properties have two components, the key and value. To add them to the the GeoJSON object, structure your YAML like this:

properties:
    -
        key: name
        value: Seattle, WA
    -
        key: description
        value: Seattle is a coastal seaport city and the seat of King County, in the U.S. state of Washington.
    -
        key: foo
        value: bar

Map Options

Site-wide map options can be changed in _config.yml. The include:

• map-tileset - the URL of the tiles you'd like to use for the map
• map-credits - credits added to the map in the lower right corner
