Customizing Marker Clusters with ui-leaflet: A guide on changing marker cluster colors

I'm trying to customize the markerCluster color in a non-default way. I've been exploring the API and it looks like the recommendation is to modify a divIcon after creation, possibly like this:

var markers = L.markerClusterGroup({
iconCreateFunction: function(cluster) {
    return L.divIcon({ html: '<b>' + cluster.getChildCount() + '</b>' });
}
});

https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.markercluster

Previously, I was populating data upon creation, somewhat similar to this:

layers: {
                baselayers: {
                    osm: {
                        name: 'OpenStreetMap',
                        type: 'xyz',
                        url: 'http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
                        layerOptions: {
                            subdomains: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
                            attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
                            continuousWorld: true
                        }
                    },
                    cycle: {
                        name: 'OpenCycleMap',
                        type: 'xyz',
                        url: 'http://{s}.tile.opencyclemap.org/cycle/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
                        layerOptions: {
                            subdomains: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
                            attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://www.opencyclemap.org/copyright">OpenCycleMap</a> contributors - &copy; <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
                            continuousWorld: true
                        }
                    }
                },
                overlays: {
                    hillshade: {
                        name: 'Hillshade Europa',
                        type: 'wms',
                        url: 'http://129.206.228.72/cached/hillshade',
                        visible: true,
                        layerOptions: {
                            layers: 'europe_wms:hs_srtm_europa',
                            format: 'image/png',
                            opacity: 0.25,
                            attribution: 'Hillshade layer by GIScience http://www.osm-wms.de',
                            crs: L.CRS.EPSG900913
                        }
                    },
                    cars: {
                        name: 'Cars',
                        type: 'markercluster',
                        visible: true
                    }
                }
            },
            markers: {
                m1: {
                    lat: 42.20133,
                    lng: 2.19110,
                    layer: 'cars',
                    message: "I'm a moving car"
                },

I came across a similar site (and forked version) where I found some inspiration: https://github.com/tombatossals/angular-leaflet-directive/blob/master/examples/0216-layers-overlays-markercluster-example.html I tried adding an icon property with different colors but haven't had any success yet. My goal is to change the color when multiple types are clustered together. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Answer №1

My misconception about using the divIcon led to a major issue. I wrongly believed that I had to change the color after creating it, but that was not the case. The solution turned out to be simple - just adding the code to my initial service:


cars: {
    name: 'Cars',
    type: 'markercluster',
    visible: true,
    layerOptions:{
        iconCreateFunction: function(cluster) {
            return L.divIcon({ html: '<b>' + cluster.getChildCount() + '</b>' });
        }
    }
}

I later discovered that the provided API functionality actually modifies the existing object rather than instantiating a new one. To instantiate it, you just need to add the variable names under the layerOptions key and refer to the variables on the API.
