Currently, I'm using the cdnjs from cloudflare to reference the MarkerCluster plugin js and css files for leaflet, and it works fine. However, when I try and reference the local version I downloaded from the github page and reload my html page, the markerclusters go away. Here are my references:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Leaflet.markercluster-master/Leaflet.markercluster-master/dist/MarkerCluster.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Leaflet.markercluster-master/Leaflet.markercluster-master/dist/MarkerCluster.Default.css" />
<script src="Leaflet.markercluster-master/Leaflet.markercluster-master/src/MarkerCluster.js"></script>
I have checked and rechecked the file paths and I can confirm they are correct. I've referenced both MarkerCluster.css and MarkerCluster.Default.css because that was recommended when I reference through cdnjs. I've made sure to redownload the latest version from github, still to no avail.
I've added and deleted type="text/javascript" from the script that runs the js file, but that didn't help either:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Leaflet.markercluster-master/Leaflet.markercluster-master/src/MarkerCluster.js"></script>
I am referencing these files within the <head> of the html file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Reasoning: I would like to reference the local files so that it can act as a backup in case the cdnjs goes down. I know that this has very rarely happened, if ever. But for this project, we are concerned with maintaining this site for a long time and want to ensure the maximum amount of protection against plugins breaking/becoming incompatible.
The
MarkerCluster.jsfile you have downloaded is just a part of the source code of the plugin.It is concatenated with other source files to produce the
distfile that is available on public CDN's.See the disclaimer on the repository: https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.markercluster/blob/master/dist/WhereAreTheJavascriptFiles.txt
A very simple mean to retrieve this dist JS file is to download what you get from the CDN. E.g. paste the URL in your browser address bar; this should display the raw content of the file. Then right click anywhere on the code and select "Save as..."
