Leaflet changing Marker color

Question

Is there a way to randomly change marker-colors in native Leaflet  I m using svg elements which could be styled  I know that it is possible with mapbox js EDIT  To clarify what I intend to do  If you add markers to the map via a doubleclick or something it should have random colors  To achieve this I wanted to use svg icons for the markers to style them  This is my code      myIcon   L icon         iconUrl   quot icon 33997 svg quot         iconAnchor  pinAnchor              newMarker   L marker lat  long           icon  myIcon

Try the Leaflet awesome-markers lib -- it allows you to set colors and other styles

I found the SVG marker icon to be best one yet  It is very flexible and allows any color you like  You can customize the entire icon without much of a hassle   function createIcon markerColor            Code ommitted           return new L DivIcon SVGIcon               color  markerColor              iconSize   15 30               circleRatio  0 35

1  Add the marker 2  find the backgroundcolor attribute for the css and change it   Here it is   JS  var myIcon   L divIcon         className   my-div-icon         iconSize   5  5          var marker   L marker  50 -20    icon  myIcon   addTo map       marker valueOf    icon style backgroundColor    green     or any color

So this is one of the top hits in Google for styling Leaflet Icon  but it didn t have a solution that worked without third parties  and I was having this problem in React as we needed dynamic colours for our routes and icons   The solution I came up with was to use Leaflet DivIcon html attribute  it allows you to pass a string which is evaluated into a DOM element   So for example I created a marker style follows     const myCustomColour     583470   const markerHtmlStyles       background-color    myCustomColour     width  3rem    height  3rem    display  block    left  -1 5rem    top  -1 5rem    position  relative    border-radius  3rem 3rem 0    transform  rotate 45deg     border  1px solid  FFFFFF   const icon   Leaflet divIcon     className   my-custom-pin     iconAnchor   0  24     labelAnchor   -6  0     popupAnchor   0  -36     html    lt span style    markerHtmlStyles     gt        Change background-color in markerHtmlStyles to your custom colour and you re good to go

Write a function which  given a color  or any other characteristics   returns an SVG representation of the desired icon   Then  when creating the marker  reference this function with the appropriate parameter s

A cheap way to change the Leaflet marker colour is to use the CSS filter property  Give the icon an extra class and then change its colour in the stylesheet    lt style gt  img huechange   filter  hue-rotate 120deg      lt  style gt   lt script gt  var marker   L marker  y  x   addTo map   marker  icon classList add  huechange     lt  script gt    and this will produce a red marker  alter the value given to hue-rotate to alter the colour

Since you are working with svg elements you could feed your leaflet marker s icon with L divIcon s html property instead of using iconUrl from L icon to link your image   L marker latlng        icon  L divIcon           className   ship-div-icon           html    lt svg gt     lt  svg gt             addTo map     Then use CSS fill property to color your svg shape  It could be useful to add a class es to svg s path s to have precise control   lt svg      gt       lt g gt           lt path class  ship-icon        gt       lt  g gt           lt  svg gt    At the end  as I also needed to randomly change the marker color I changed directly the path s fill property at the time of creating the marker  var pathFillColor        Math random   0xFFFFFF lt  lt 0  toString 16    L marker latlng        icon  L divIcon           className   ship-div-icon           html    lt svg      gt  lt g gt  lt path fill    pathFillColor          gt   lt  g gt  lt  svg gt             addTo map

In addition to the way  guillermogfer describe  this is the way to do it if you don t want to paste your whole svg code into your react component  You can just place your svg code in a separate file and load it into your code file as a React Component like this   import   ReactComponent as SatelliteIcon   from     assets icons satellite svg     After you do this you can just use your svg as if it is a react component  so like this     lt SatelliteIcon className  svg-icon light-blue    gt    What we ended up doing is define some standard svg colors that are used in our application so we can pass them as a class in order to change the color of the svg  If you don t know the color beforehand or don t have a defined set of colors you can dynamically overwrite the properties in your svg file by using the style attribute  something like this     lt SatelliteIcon style    stroke   black      gt    In order for this to work it is important that the attributes you are trying to overwrite are set on the  element in your svg and not on the individual paths   In order to get this svg icon to display in leaflet you can use the divIcon as described by  guillermogfer  However  because the html attribute of the divIcon doesn t understand jsx we need to convert it to string first   L divIcon       className   div-icon       html  ReactDOMServer renderToString           lt SatelliteIcon className  svg-icon light-blue    gt

Leaflet Markers are stored as files unlike other objects  like Polylines  etc    If you want your own markers  you can find The official Leaflet Tutorial that explains how to do it   EDIT    After reading this conversation with the main developer I searched for the marker SVG and here it is   With this you should be able to color the marker the way you want and randomly set their color   EDIT AGAIN    You can use MakiMarkers to set the color of a marker and use this extension to make some random stuffs   It s simple and well explained
