Ideas and Suggestions for Leaflet

Leaflet UserVoice is a place for you to show support for your favorite feature and improvement suggestions for Leaflet.

  • Please don’t add duplicates of existing ideas.
  • Please don’t report issues with map data — they have nothing to do with Leaflet and will be declined. It uses OpenStreetMap on the website examples.
  • If you need to report a bug, please use GitHub issues instead.

Leaflet will become even better if you add …

  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

      The problem with this feature is that SVG doesn’t support z-index ordering by design. The only way to do this is to reorder DOM objects, which is quite inefficient if you want precise control. It’s even worse in Canvas where you have to rerender all layers in the correct order.

      In the current master version, I’ve implemented bringToBack and bringToFront methods for both vector and tile layers which should satisfy most of the use cases here, but will continue designing a more sophisticated solution.
